vmm: experimentation with networking on wifi interfaces

2016-10-13 Thread Edd Barrett
Hey, As we saw earlier on misc@, getting a vmm host on the internet when the host is using a wireless interface is not as straightforward as with wired interfaces. Specifically, a bridge won't work on a wireless interface, which in turn (I think) means virtual switches don't work either
