I was thinking about adding another network adapter, so the VM has got
two network cards: 1 bridged to ethernet, one to the WLAN. When bonding
them in the linux VM the together would seem like a single network
interface, and should work no matter which kind of network (LAN or WLAN)
I am using. At least that was what I thought. I tried it using my
openSUSE 11.2 VM, but something does not work. I can ping the bond0
interface, but not the host's IP, neither the gateway nor any IP on the
internet.

Has anyone every tried that? Could that work in a VM? Does it work with
VirtualBox (I guess it should, but maybe there are problems that I
haven't thought of...).

One problem I see is that the VM sees the adapters both as active, as
the both have the "cabel attached" (or what it is called in the english
version) checkbox in the virtualbox adapter settings. So both NICs are
always up, no matter if the WLAN card or the ethernet adapter on the
host is used or not. But as far as I understood the bonding thing, the
bonding mode broadcast should send everything over both bonded NICS, so
no matter which one is used on the host the network should be fine.

But as I am no experienced bonding user I am getting nowhere here... ;-(

Regards,
OJ
