Would be real nice to get some pointers how to set up NAT with xapi or xl for that matter, since I'm fairly new to all this Linux networking stuff...

Hi Marien, As for as I know, it is indeed usually not possible to bridge wireless NICs. Some people have experimented with NAT instead. This is not built-in to xapi, but you could set it up manually using iptables. Perhaps someone else on the list has tried this?

So far I've been trying to bridge the nic so it can be used with xapi, but so far I failed... I've encountered dozens of claims stating that bridging wlan is a pain and even in a lot of cases impossible... My main problem so far would be that the bridge doesn't get any ipaddress, even manually assigning one doesn't make a difference. So I guess that the drives/NIC are just not up for the task. Yet is there maybe another way to use the wireless NIC with xapi? Mind you this is just a testing project and not intended for production purposes, so it doesn't need to be 100% stable.
