[coLinux-devel] coLinux 0.5.4: clarification and bug warning

[Alejandro R. S. <as...@MI...>]

Assumption: You're trying to make it work with a connection called
"Local Area Network"

Perhaps the documentation needs to be a little clearer on what name
means. It's refering to the description windows has for your NIC. Two
ways to obtain that:

1) (GUI, XP) Highlight 'Local Area Network' in 'Network Connections',
it's the last line in the Detail's box on the side.

2) (CLI) 'ipconfig /all'. It's the 'Description' line.

Also, I'm noticing a sign extension bug has worked its way into the
code. I'm going to try and patch it, sometime tonight. In the mean time,
try to use MAC octets between 00 and 79. You'll know you're running into
this bug if you see a line like:

executing: colinux-bridged-net-daemon -i 0 -n foo -mac xx:xx:ffffff87...
