To clarify, here is a quote from the Innotek forum, specifically a reply to me from Achim Hasenmueller specifically related to using VPC's Virtual Switch with a wireless NIC (October 1, 2002): We do not support the Virtual Switch on wireless network cards in VPC/2 because it is not possible to send out frames having a different MAC address than the hardware with 802.11b. We are looking into providing a workaround like Virtual PC on Windows does for a future update. I'd have to look closely at what Dave has managed to achieve, but I must admit that it's nothing short of a feat of solid ingenuity to bounce packets through a "phantom" NIC as a workaround. Next time I run into a routing issue, I'm flying Dave in to fix it!! :-) Stanley Sidlov wrote: On Sat, 05 Feb 2005 18:09:51 +0000 (GMT), Dave Saville wrote: I tried setting a second instance of the virtual switch, as per the VPC docs, to see if I could get any VPC session to use the wireless card but it failed. I seem to remember Christian or Adrian telling me at WSE that it would not work - they were right :-) This is not correct. I have VPC on the T23 and I have both wired and wireless on it. When configuring the networking for the VPC you have to use Virtual Switch, I believe, NAT won't work. Configuring two network nics requires manual editing.
