Comment 8 for bug 663014

This issue affects me as well.

I am not sure how the information I have could change the priority, or even if the two are related, though I suspect.

I configured my guest XP on virtualbox to share the internet connection it has with a wnda3100 v2 usb adapter.
Since no 64 bit drivers were written, ndiswrapper does not help to connect straight to 10.10

I was able to then ping outside hosts from my ubuntu client. However I was not able to get firefox to recognize any external addresses. (ping virtual default gateway, physical default gateway and google)

I ma using 64 bit 10.10, and sharing the USB connection is the closest I have gotten to having my wireless sub supplying a connection to my meerkat host.

OSI would say layer three of four?

Seems that fixing this bug might allow for a large portion of wireless connection devices to be ubuntuble.
Definitely interested in any progress and information regarding the issue.
