I just acquired a very :wqnice if old ThinkPad running vmware (player), which I have heard a lot about but never tried before. I'm quite impressed with it, but have been completely unable after a day reading vmware documentation to get my WiFi card working. The problem, if I understand it correctly, is that there is an internal "virtual" network on 172.16.250.0 which I have to attach by a "virtual" switch to eth0. But I have no idea how to set up this switch, and none of the documents I have read tell me how to do this. I have run vmware-config.pl (several times) but none of the questions I am asked seems relevant to my issue. I wonder is some kind soul could either tell me what to do (preferably the actual commands I should enter) or else point me to some simple documentation on the subject. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
