Hi, Sorry for posting again, but I must have been asking the wrong question. How do I get a bridge with an ethernet and a wireless interface to work? I see many HOWTOs on the internet using brctl and ifconfig doing what I would do with two ethernet interfaces, but I simply have not been successful using my wireless interface with the ipw3945 driver. Is that because of the hardware+driver or is there some magic I'm missing (apart from parprouted or iptables, which does work but is not what I want) ? http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/Net:Bridge#It_doesn.27t_work_with_my_Wireless_card.21 tells me to expect this. It says: > FAQ 7.16: It doesn't work with my Wireless card! > > This is a known problem, and it is not caused by the bridge code. > Many wireless cards don't allow spoofing of the source address. It is > a firmware restriction with some chipsets. You might find some > information in the bridge mailing list archives to help. ... HELP! Are the HOWTOs wrong, or is the above FAQ info wrong? What cards can I buy that are not part of "many wireless cards"? I prefer USB hardware but I don't know what to buy. I got two responses to my last post: https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/bridge/2008-April/005797.html One to use brctl (which doesn't work for me!) and one to run my linux bridge under VMware on a windows host (which is not what I want). I'm wondering about the lack of answers. Am I asking a stupid question? Is there any obvious reading I haven't done? Even an answer like "Forget it. You'll never get a ethernet/wireless bridge to work under Linux. The FAQ should be changed from 'many' to 'all'." would also be helpful, as I would stop trying and stop posting! :D Peter -- Peter Valdemar Mørch http://www.morch.com _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
