Ok, I can see the benefit from this for testing purposes. But then you
don't need those wired machines, packets can be generated locally at
your "virtual station emulator" and you need no hacks.
These devices usually have fairly weak processors...definately not
enough to run a bunch of VOIP calls, for instance. And, it means you
cannot use whatever real applications you might already have installed
on your wired devices (database servers, heavy-weight network testing
logic, etc).
I have a vested interest as I make such network testing logic, but
if the wifi bridge logic is transparent, then anyone should be able to
make use of it....
Thanks,
Ben
