Do you want to be have Windows 7 have direct access to the wifi card or do you just connect to the network? It's been awhile since I've used VirtualPC but in VMware Workstation it creates a bridged connection to allow virtual machines to have network access. I don't know how its setup in VirtualPC.

Go to the "Settings" section in Virtual PC ( not your virtual OS ), and look for the Network Option. There should be a place there where you can switch between your LAN and your Wireless Adapter for the Bridge. I don't have it in front of me, so I might be a little off with the exact details.

yeah it's tools>settings>networking and then there will be a pull down box to choose the adapter.
