When logged into the guest, data transfer (scp) from the host is very slow (<1MB/s). Is this expected?setup:VirtualBox host is Debian UnstableVirtualBox guest is Debian 6 (Squeeze)Bridged Adapter is wlan0
Why is VirtualBox Bridged networking slow

It's not just you.See here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Bridge#LimitationsBasically, the spec for WiFi says that any wireless adapter can only have one MAC address, which makes bridging WiFi an impracticality.There are several bugs in several forms describing slightly different symptoms filed against VirtualBox (735, 2975, 5503, etc.) but the underlying cause in each case is bridging a wireless interface.I have ended up adding host-only interfaces for this kind of activity instead.
