This isn't a question directly about brctl per se. I have a WRT54G linksys box on one side of my office and a linux router with an Atheros G card running madwifi on the other. I want the linux box to be a bridge between the hard wired clients connect to the linux router and wireless linksys box on the other side of the office. So what I did was, on the linux box told it the essid and MAC address to connect to. This was tested by assigning an ip the atheros interface and ping the linksys box, test came back good. I zero'd the IP on the atheros card and bridge the atheros and the local eth0 together. I connect a my laptop to the eth0 port and try ping the linksys box, but the pings wont flow. This is the problem, now maybe I'm expecting something that just isn't going to happen because of the way wifi works, but that's why I'm posting.
