Xen users - Jun 2008 - Wireless Access on Laptop for Xen Guests

Folks,
 
  I have installed OpenSUSE 10.3 on my DELL
1705 w/ an Intel 4965N wireless card. My 
dom0 can access the internet fine with the 
wireless card, but any Guests I install cannot.
 
  I have heard there is a way to do this. Could
someone give me some pointers on the files
to edit and their location?
 
Thanks for your help,
Bill Morris

A nat-ed rather than bridged network might work.

The problem is that Dom0 associates with the access point with it''s MAC
address, but when the access point sees other MAC addresses it just
ignores them. I''m not sure that MAC translation would work either, but
it might...

Does your wireless card support WDS? You might be able to use that (eg
it would work in the same way that a wireless to wireless bridge does).

On second thought... read this instead.
