Hi every body.I''m working on a laptop with too NIC (Ethernet and wireless) , for the Ethernet NIC, the hypervisor xen create the bridge and the virtual interface by default, but for the wireless NIC, it doesn''t create a bridge so i had to create it manually with a command line. the problem is with the virtual interface, i couldn''t find any method that help to create the virtual interface. Please do someone know how an create the virtual interface Vif on a bridge associated to a wireless NIC?? Thanks in advance, all the best _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

It''s a wireless limitation. What you can do is use bridge+NAT (I prefer this one) or use routing. Example of bridge + NAT is what libvirt does. It creates a new bridge, virbr0, and setup NAT rules automatically. You then assign domUs to use virbr0 bridge. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
