Wireless bridged / host only networking on Ubuntu host.

[kero]

Here we are again.
Please spend the time to read this.


There are several guides floating around the Internet, but I'm afraid most of them seem outdated. But I KNOW this is possible.

Using: Virtualbox Closed Source Edition 2.2, fully willing to switch to the Open Source Edition.

Objective: I want to be able to have different virtual machines interact with each other and also be able to access the Internet. I don't care if I use a bridge or the "host only" option.

Outstanding Problem: Neither of these options work because I am running off a Broadcom wireless card. Currently using the closed source STA driver but willing to use b43 if needed.
----

If anyone can offer any assistance, it would be of great value. I don't know why this feature isn't built it. I hear that VmWare might be able to bridge wireless but I don't care to switch.

Thanks. Please post if you have any questions or answers.

You need Bridge mode thats one thing, then you need to assign a local IP range to your Guests, then you need to route Guest traffic to the Host(bridge) via Host sharing/routing table or via a software router VM.
