Hello, I want to add wireless capability to my Gentoo-linux based firewall/router at home, so I bought a Netgear MA311 PCI and installed the hostap package. I load the hostap_pci module and the wlan0 interface comes up fine. I can detect the signal from a wireless enabled laptop. Now I'm thinking I'm going to bridge the wlan0 interface and the eth1 interface, and run the firewall with br0 as the internal interface. I compiled the kernel (2.4.23) with CONFIG_BRIDGE=m but when I modprobe bridge, I get this stuff: /lib/modules/2.4.23-ck1/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.o: unresolved symbol br_ioctl_hook /lib/modules/2.4.23-ck1/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.o: unresolved symbol br_handle_frame_hook /lib/modules/2.4.23-ck1/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.23-ck1/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.23-ck1/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.o: insmod bridge failed I can't figure it out. Do I need to patch the kernel? (I thought 2.4.21 and beyond needed no patches.) Do I need to configure something else? Thanks in advance. -- Stuart Luppescu -=- s-luppescu .at. uchicago.edu University of Chicago -=- CCSR 才文と智奈美の父 -=- Kernel 2.6.1-gentoo Wishing without work is like fishing without bait. -- Frank Tyger -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
