I suspected that something like that might be the answer.  But it's
not really worth the effort to set up.  The only time I really need
to put the laptop's virtual machine on the network is when I back up
my main development box (another VM) - the laptop has compilers and
copies of my test beds so I can even do development on it as a
freestanding box, and copy everything back over at another time.
Meanwhile, the Linux side is fully operational wirelessly, so I
can wander around the house with it, and even ssh -X into my main
Linux box.

Thanks again for the help.
