Violation or not it's a nice feature to have if you want to roll your own AP. Prism cards allow AP mode bridging under linux. http://hostap.epitest.fi/ On Monday 07 October 2002 01:04 pm, Ben Reser wrote: > On Mon, Oct 07, 2002 at 07:36:22AM -0400, Jason Straight wrote: > > If it's an orinoco/avaya/lucent based card then briding won't work on it > > - lucent only allows one MAC on the card and disables bridging ability. > > Well if any wireless cards allow bridging they are violating the 802.11b > spec because it disallows use of more than one MAC address IIRC. -- Jason Straight

Re: [Cooker] VMWare on Mandrake 9.0
If it's an orinoco/avaya/lucent based card then briding won't work on it - lucent only allows one MAC on the card and disables bridging ability.

Well, I'm running VMware 3.2 at this very moment on the latest cooker/9.0 kernel. So it's not a problem with the modules.

Re: [Cooker] VMWare on Mandrake 9.0
I don't brigde the wireless, I bridge the built-in ethernet card. Also be reminded that it works fine in Mandrake 8.2 and if I use 9.0 with the 8.2 kernel (2.4.18-6) is works fine. - Original Message - From: "Ben Reser" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 04, 2002 9:53 PM Subject: Re: [Cooker] VMWare on Mandrake 9.0 > On Fri, Oct 04, 2002 at 09:03:50PM -0400, o beckles wrote: > > VMWare's bridged networking does not work properly on my Toshiba Sat. > > Pro 6100.

If you're using a wireless card bridged won't work. This is a limitation of the 802.11b wireless protocol. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org Never take no as an answer from someone who isn't authorized to say yes.
