[IAEP] Sugar on Wireless

[Caroline Meeks]

Hi,

I'm back home now and checking in.

When I was at FOSSED it looked like Macs running under virtual box could not
use local collaboration because it doesn't directly see the APs.

Is this confirmed?

Are there other ideas for getting MacBooks using VirutalBox to collaborate
without an XS?

Thanks,
Caroline
