The problem is that WiFi just isn't ethernet, and you will never get it

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.)
By the way, what you possibly could do, which would at least solve it
for TCP/IP, is if you can setup a virtual network on the MAC, and then
have the MAC route between the WiFi network and your virtual network.
But it will not work for DECnet (for obvious reasons).
But I don't know how you set up a fully virtual network to start with.

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

64b data
64b addresses

Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) support
Asynchronous I/O support

Memory Access: Little Endian
Memory Pointer Size: 64 bits
Large File (>2GB) support

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.
