What a mess!
This is great information though, thankyou for gathering it...

So, let‘s say we re-use the host‘s MAC address for the AppleTalk interface, this would work with WiFi?Bridging to a wireless interface is done differently from bridging to a wired interface, because most wireless adapters do not support promiscuous mode. All traffic has to use the MAC address of the host's wireless adapter, and therefore Oracle VM VirtualBox needs to replace the source MAC address in the Ethernet header of an outgoing packet to make sure the reply will be sent to the host interface. When Oracle VM VirtualBox sees an incoming packet with a destination IP address that belongs to one of the virtual machine adapters it replaces the destination MAC address in the Ethernet header with the VM adapter's MAC address and passes it on. Oracle VM VirtualBox examines ARP and DHCP packets in order to learn the IP addresses of virtual machines.
Sadly this didn't work quite as well as I hoped :/So, let‘s say we re-use the host‘s MAC address for the AppleTalk interface, this would work with WiFi?
