Several people have reported that they can't establish a wireless Internet connection via a Windows guest using WS 6.x running on a Linux kernel 2.6.22. We're able to connect wirelessly to a LAN, but not to the Internet. Wired ethernet connections under the same configuration seem to work fine.

Does anyone have insight into this? Is there a kernel change that would affect bridge networking with a virtual machine when the host machine is connected wirelessly to the Internet?

I'd really like to get to the bottom of this, as it has kept me stuck at an older kernel for several months now. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but there are several new kernel features that I'd really like to benefit from and can't.

Thanks.
