No. Most wireless devices refuse to transmit packets with a source MAC address different to their own (at least when in client mode). This makes the VNIC implementation inoperable over wireless devices. > 2) If bridged networking does not work via the iwk0 interface, what > are > the steps to create an internal NAT network like what is described in: > > http://blogs.sun.com/droux/entry/private_virtual_networks_for_solaris > > I understand that crossbow has not been integrated fully yet, but that > some basics have in place to support xvm.

Unfortunately, there aren't all of the pieces integrated to take the approach that Nicolas describes, in particular the etherstub code is not yet present. Something that you might try when connected to the network via iwk0 is: - use e1000g0 as the 'bridge' device for the domain, - create another VNIC over e1000g0 for use by dom0 (let's call that 'vnic99'), - plumb and configure vnic99 in dom0, - now dom0 and domU can communicate via the VNICs over e1000g0, even if e1000g0 is down, - install NAT rules, routing configuration, etc. such that traffic from the guest domain can be passed out through iwk0. _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
