Virtual switch works fine with my wired card.  it doens't work with 
wireless, wireless cards can't go into promiscuous mode.  For use with a 
wireless card requires using NAT.  This is not ideal with my situation 
as I need to put a socks server on the windows system and connect to it 
from the host OS/2 system.  I can do this fine with the wired card but I 
don't remember the registry settings to open the NAT ports so I can't do 
it with my wireless card.
