Emulated WLAN

Hi everyone,

I've been spending a good amount of the day so far trying to figure out how to emulate a wireless card in an emulator.

I've compiled the "pcidev" Bochs kernel module, but Bochs doesn't work properly when I specify the wireless NIC as a PCI device - the entire system goes extremely unresponsive until Bochs is exited.

Basically, I need to get access to a wireless card to work on my 802.11 implementation, and I haven't had any success so far in finding a way to do so. All the emulators seem to only support ethernet devices.

Thanks in advance.

Solved - after a couple of hours of Googling I found "KVM" and finally have the wireless NIC in the PCI tree. :)
