That How To provides (to a novice) a comprehensive explanation to the problem of bridging a wireless connection that seems to be universal to all wireless connections. But, there are other explanations of the wireless bridging problem which make me suspicious it might not work... Warning here: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Networking#public_bridge Explanation here: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/bridge#It_doesn.27t_work_with_my_Wireless_card.21 So, can I expect to be able to bridge my 802.11 connection to work with my KVM guests? (I'm setting up an old laptop to run as a home server.) Many thanks for your help. Morgan. -- Morgan Read UNITED KINGDOM Confused about DRM? Get all the info you need at: http://drm.info/
