I'm following this brief discussion on bridging and wondering, how does one handle a situation, say on a laptop where one has both a hardwired ethernet port (eth0) and a wireless port (wlan0) and one could roam from one form of networking to another.
Having to reconfigure my bridge for each location would be a pita to say the least, especially given that (ethernet) networking generally is initialized by system boot before the user has access. On the other hand, with distros like Ubuntu, wireless networking is not initialized until after the user logs on and selects a wireless network to connect to. Wireless further complicates things as I simply cannot imagine that a bridged interface (to which the IP configuration should apply) with a wlan0 interface included it will work with these wireless-connection-applets that are being put into most Linux desktops. Thots? b. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
