Stephen, I am not sure I understand this. > DHCP will work on the bridge interface (br0) but you need to have the > bridge and ethernets up, and the forwarding delay has to expired. > After that the eth0 will be in the forwarding state. My script looks like this ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 brctl addbr mybridge brctl addif eth0 brctl addif wlan0 #ifconfig mybridge 192.168.1.136 netmask 255.255.255.0 up ifconfig mybridge up Should I be waiting before I run the ifconfig mybridge up?
