Do you really need to install drivers? In Linux things are usually plug and play, and you don't need any CD's with drivers. In VBox, what OS were you running as host and as a VM? It is possible that if the host OS was using the Wireless LAN card that you then just get an emulated card in the VM, and not the actual wireless card.
