    OK. It's a RC release. The Interface is much better. It's seems faster to - at least for me.

    But:
    I still can't access my wifi adapter via the VM when running in Linux. [Parallels Team] Do you have any plans to fix this problem untill the final release will drop out?

    Hmm - with RC and bridged to a wired network I don't see a problem - my box now has 3 IP addresses, one each for OS-X, Win XP, OpenSuSE 10.1

    I'm having the same problem in RHEL 4. Seems to behave exactly the same as B6 when you try to bridge over wifi.

    Bridge over Wifi is a known issue that hasn't been addressed at all with RC - there are design issues here (the way 802.11 deals with DHCP requests and MAC addresses), and unless Parallels implements a DHCP forwarder, it won't get addressed.

    Unfortunately there is no host-only networking with Linux, so the only workaround I have found is to get a permanent IP address on the network and not use DHCP at all.
