Please excuse my ignorance, but doesn't the above link assume that brctl and ifconfig will work bridging wireless and ethernet? I could not get a bridge between my wireless (using the ipw3945 driver) and eth0 interfaces to work. As I read http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/Net:Bridge#It_doesn.27t_work_with_my_Wireless_card.21 it seems to me bridging wireless and ethernet won't work in the most common cases. Is that true at least? I would really like to create a layer 2 bridge between my ethernet and wireless networks, but right now have no clue how to continue... brctl and ifconfig did not work for me with my hardware... Any help or enlightenment appreciated!
