I did find a kludgy work-around. If you have a machine with both Wi-Fi
and Ethernet, install as usual. Use Ethernet to connect to your
network. Start the default virtual network. It will work. Take the
Ethernet connection down, and start up the Wi-Fi network. The virtual
network will continue to work.
