Hello, everyone.
I'm from japan and using machine translation, so I apologize if it's hard to read.
I am currently trying to build a virtual environment using Ubuntu and kvm.
However, I found out from the following page that the virtual machine cannot use the bridge network because I am using a wireless network.
https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking
I am having trouble with this because my PC is using a wireless LAN.
On that page it says "wireless interfaces cannot be attached to a Linux host bridge", I Can you tell me why this is so?
Is it a limitation of the NIC driver for the wireless LAN?
Not really.
Or is it a limitation of libvirt?
Definitely not. Completely out of libvirt's control.
Is anyone aware/at liberty to say how VirtualBox circumvents this limitation? I presume it's via some sort of software switch trickery, but they seem to be able to do a bridged(-like) mode via a Wi-Fi interface. -- brent saner https://square-r00t.net/ GPG info: https://square-r00t.net/gpg-info
