Abstract
The methods and systems described herein are directed to providing, to virtual machines, access to data associated with a connection to a wireless local area network, in a computing device executing a hypervisor hosting a first virtual machine and a second virtual machine. A first driver executed by a first virtual machine of the first physical computing device establishes a network connection to a second physical computing device, via a wireless local area network interface of the first physical computing device. The first driver receives from a second driver executed by a second virtual machine of the first physical computing device, a request for a characteristic of the network connection. The first driver provides, responsive to the request, data comprising the requested characteristic to the second driver.
