[Simh] VAX XQ and wireless networking

[Gary Lee Phillips]

Might be some peculiarity of Ubuntu or my two Dell desktop PCs, but
the system logs do in fact show that they are waiting for the tun0
device to close down and that it is "busy". I've waited as long as 30
minutes after the SIMH module was closed, and still no shutdown for
Linux.

The desktop machines have SIMH 3.8 rather than 3.9, which might also
make some difference.

I will try the bridge again, but previous attempts on the laptop
failed to work for either the host or the guest system, using the same
sequence of steps to set up the bridge that work with the desktop
machines and wired ethernet.
