This set up may not work. A Xen Linuxcentric page: https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_in_WiFi_networks talks of some of the problems in that world, but I personally have never been able to get this sort of thing to function with NetBSD having tried it a couple of times over the years. You can remove DHCP from the mix by using a static IP, but even with that I have not seen this work with the mix of hardware I have had on hand. -- Brad Spencer - [email protected] - KC8VKS - http://anduin.eldar.org
