The vm is running on my desktop on which I am tracking -CURRENT. My desktop's network connection is wifi via an atheros card. I would like the w2k vm to be on the same network as the desktop, and get it's ip via dhcp, etc. I seems like wifi is not very friendly to casual bridging, so just ifconfig bridge0 addm tap0 addm ath0 up seems to be out. I was thinking of an ip tunnel (gif) from the desktop to a machine that is using wired ethernet. Then bridge the gif interface on the desktop with the tap interface from qemu and finally bridging the gif interface on the wired machine with its nic (vr) uh, it seems sort of complicated. Anyone have any simpler suggestions, or suggestions more likely to work? -- i'll unhook my oily pink mini-kimono, you kill him in honolulu
