FYI a good blog on the sharing a wireline and wireless network, setthing up the AP with dhcp, proxy ARP etc... http://savvyadmin.com/virtualbox-wireless-bridging-with-dhcp/? AS you suggested, I only kept ips=0 for my rtl8192ce /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce.conf? options rtl8192ce ips=0 # ips:Set to 0 to not use link power save (default 1) # swlps:Set to 1 to use SW control power save (default 0) # fwlps:Set to 1 to use FW control power save (default 1) # debug:Set debug level (0-5) (default 0) (int) (any cheap, good and working USB wifi device which has more power than an embedded chip as the rtl8188 ? it's a shame that we can't add just an antenna vs another wifi hw)
