wlan0 pass-thru

[jhallam]

I'm trying to pass-thu my wireless card and it gives me an error message. I have no problem passing through my second NIC.

# vzctl set 101 --netdev_add eth1 --save
Saved parameters for CT 101
# vzctl set 101 --netdev_add wlan0 --save
Unable to add netdev wlan0: Invalid argument
Saved parameters for CT 101

I found a post that described exactly my problem (unable to relocate that post - duuuh!) which led me to this - http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1513 which is not quite the same.

I'm using Proxmox 1.9 with kernel 2.6.32-6-pve.

I assume this is a bug?? Or should I be using a different command to pass thru wlan0? Is it solved in the latest Proxmox 2.0 beta

Cheers, John

Some extra info:

1. The mail that I couldn't relocate was on this forum - http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&goto=39598&

2. The error "Unable to add netdev wlan0: Invalid argument" only occurs if I do the "vzctl set 101 --netdev_add wlan0 --save" command while the container is running, if it is not running there is no error. In both instances the NETDEV= has wlan0 present. When I start the conainer it stops without a failure message in dmesg.

I assume this is a bug??

I am not sure if openvz supports wlan devices - I suggest you open a bug on http://bugzilla.openvz.org

Please make sure you test with the latest kernel from our repository.
