-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For those who are not aware, here is something worth looking into. It is not VMWare and has 3rd party drivers/hooks for your ethernet and wifi interfaces, though I am uncertain as to the extent of their capabilities: COLinux: http://www.colinux.org/ Take care JW
why would VMWare be any good to him? ok... you can simulate a linux environment, but the wireless device will not be present in the VM. it will simply be a hook to the device, however as generic NIC!! IMHO, even if it was available as (e.g. MadWifi driven) wireless device - VMWare wouldn't be capable of transporting the raw data to the windows wireless driver as - VMWare is still based on Windows, - is just a casual app and - has no direct access to the driver's outgoing queues!! The VMWare NIC would probably try to understand the (RAW data) packets and try to interpret them as layer3 TCP packets, trying to send them over the casual socket - failing miserably!! correct me if i'm wrong, but i think that was a stupid answer to a not so stupid question!! greetings
