The problem is that WiFi just isn't ethernet, and you will never get it to work good trying to behave like it is. Unfortunately...

libpcap don't change that. (Without libpcap you can never get networking in SimH to work, but even with it, you still need a network medium that behaves like ethernet.)

Hi All,

I was wondering if anybody could give me some tips on networking with my 
MacBook air. I used to run a virtual VMS system a few years back, but that was 
on Windows and/or Linux, with access to “real,” ethernet devices.
I’ve since switched to the wifi-only Macbook Air, and it isn’t cooperating very 
well. My copy of TCPIP services fails to get a DHCP lease.
I know that bridging with wifi adaptors is problematic, but I built with the OS 
X native LibPcap support, and I thought it might help.

Here is my simh version info

Show xq eth:

ETH devices:
  eth0  en0                                  (No description available)
  eth1  awdl0                                (No description available)
  eth2  bridge0                              (No description available)
  eth3  en1                                  (No description available)
  eth4  udp:sourceport:remotehost:remoteport (Integrated UDP bridge support)

en0 is the wifi adaptor I’m interested in, and bridge0 is an OS X-provided 
THunderbolt Bridge, which doesn’t seem particularly useful for my purposes.

Any advice would be appreciated. :)
Thanks much,
Zack.
