Hi.. I'm running into problems when I try switching wireless networks while
MOL is running OSX. Here's what I'm trying to do - suppose I have an existing
wireless connection on eth1. I start OSX in MOL, there's wireless access on
the OSX just started. Now, suppose I need to change the wireless network (for
example, when I come back home from school) and switch to another one. So I
try "ifdown eth1" but this does not finish since it's trying to rmmod airport
which I guess OSX under MOL is using... I tried disabling the en3 adaptor in
OSX but that didn't help. So I have to shutdown MOL/OSX and then ifdown
completes. I then do an ifup eth1 again and restart MOL. Is there any way by
which I can switch wireless networks without having to restart MOL? My
molrc.net has "netdev: eth1 -sheep"..
Thanks,
