First, a bit of detail about what I am doing. I have a 3 MobileBroadband card (the Merlin XU870) which I want to share amongst the three virtual machines running on my laptop.
Installed on the laptop is Vmware Workstation.
I have built a Bering firewall virtual machine (it requires bugger all resources) and have networking setup with one interface on "host-only" and one interface "bridged".
For POC, I wanted to see if eth0 would get a dhcp assigned IP address. Tick, success!!
Now I give the firewall control of the wireless card and the following happens (ultimately, no ppp0 connection).
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I think this is where the problem lies. The device is "seen" by the virtual machine, but not assigned?
