Repeat after me: WiFi is not ethernet... :-)
What you are trying to do essentially does not work. simh is essentially
trying to set the interface in promiscuous mode, and fake a second mac
address on the interface. This works just fine on ethernet, but it does
not at all work on WiFi, where your AP knows what MAC address you have,
and will not send packets for another MAC address to your WiFi controller.

The vms systems on our campus are about to be shut down. My former
boss and I would like to still have access to our files, so I've moved
an image of a vax system disk into simh.
He is a networking expert and I am no slouch, but neither of us can
figure out why we cannot establish any kind of network connection
outside of the simh.
I've looked back in the archives for help but have only found people
with linux systems or messages of success with UCX.
This morning I upgraded from Multinet 4.3 to 5.2 and tried to set up
DHCP but that did not work either.
Npcap is installed.
If I set my mac address to be the same as that of the host laptop I
can use wireshark to see pings coming out from the vax but there are
no responses.
I've disabled decnet from starting up to avoid the mac address from
being changed.
Some guidance in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
