1 Is is possible to get VMWare Workstation 6.0.2 guest OSs to work via
2 bridged networking on a wireless card? I've Googled and found threads
3 regarding this issue. This one seems to be the most relevant:

7 My post is on the 3rd page as being from "imacamper". Basically from
8 the guest OS (Win XP) I can ping the host but nothing beyond. My
9 wireless card is a Broadcom that uses the BCM43xx kernel module.
10 Bridging works OK with the wired Ethernet port that uses the sky2
11 driver. NAT works fine with both wired and wireless.

13 I'm stumped. I've used VMWare with Windows as the host but this is my
14 first attempt at installing on a Linux host. Any ideas?

16 Thanks,
