How can I get my Fedora 10 guest to use a wireless connection? Do I need to configure a wireless "bridge" adapter? That is, if the wired adapter bridge is ifcfg-eth0 referencing "br0" perhaps I need a second named ifcfg-wlan0 referencing "br1"?
In short: does anyone have wireless working for Fedora 10, KVM guests? If yes, can the configuration details be shared with me? I'm dying to use wireless in my guest. Laptops were never meant for long trailing wires if you ask me...
Wireless + bridging == fail.
When creating the guest you should use libvirt's 'default' virtual network, which is NAT based and specifically designed to play nicely with NetworkManager

So no matter what wifi network/adress your host has, the guest will still get outbound traffic through

Thanks for the advice. I want to be able to use wireless, but still get a specific IP address on my home network in the 192.168.1.x range. The virtual network doesn't use that address range by default. I guess I could kludge this...I'll have to think carefully about the networking that I'm doing.
