There are two possibilities:

  1. Wireless card not connected with Virtual Machine

    If this is the case then you can fix issue by connecting wireless card to virtual machine.

    Go to VM > Removable devices > (wireless card name/number) > Connect (Disconnect from Host)

  2. Compatible driver not found (very less chance for your case but maybe)

    In this case you have to find proper driver for your wireless adapter.

You can bypass that wireless adapter usb to the vm. You just need to plugin the wireless usb, start the vm, and go to settings in vm > removable devices > chose the wireless usb > connect
