Bridging wireless nic for kvm guests

[Tyler J. Wagner]

By "wireless bridging", you intend to bring up multiple MAC addresses on
the interface, one for the host and one for each VM. That simply won't work
on many wireless chipsets, which won't allow multiple MAC addresses.

You'll need to use one of:

1. A physical Ethernet interface.

2. A software bridge for the VMs, with routing in the host, and NAT.

If you can't use #1, then use #2 and put multiple IPs on the host's
wireless interface. Then NAT each one using DNAT/SNAT firewall rules to a
VM using an internal IP on the software bridge.

Regards,
Tyler

"Privacy has to be viewed in the context of relative power. For example,
the government has a lot more power than the people. So privacy for
the government increases their power and increases the power imbalance
between government and the people; it decreases liberty. Forced openness
in government – open government laws, Freedom of Information Act
filings, the recording of police officers and other government officials,
WikiLeaks – reduces the power imbalance between government and the
people, and increases liberty."
