Hello,
After quite a bit of research, I managed to find a way (a hacky one) to
getting it working. Turns out that wireless networks don't like the
standard way of bridging, so I had to follow this guide [1].
Anyway, thanks for your help guys! And remember, bookmark that guide
next time you're trying to bridge with a wireless card!
Cheers,
John.
