Hi everybody,
First of all, let me say that I searched a lot on the internet. I
spent several hours sitting after my notebook, but I can't configure
my network bridge in Ubuntu. I'm really desperate, so I hope somebody
can point me out what I'm doing
Hardware:
-----------------------------------------------------------
$ lspci | grep controller
06:05.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG
Network Connection (rev 05)
06:07.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169
Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Kernel:
-----------------------------------------------------------
$ uname -a
Linux Bacardi 2.6.24-23-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 21:47:28 UTC 2009
i686 GNU/Linux
-----------------------------------------------------------
I first tested the hardware in windows xp sp3. I selected the 2
interfaces, right clicked on them and picked up: "Create network
bridge". 30 seconds later, I was having a network bridge between my
wired and wireless controller :-). Everything was working smoothly.
Now, I want to do the same thing on my Ubuntu installation (same
notebook, just dual booting to Ubuntu). I thought it would be easy,
but apparantly, it isn't :-( ...
This is my /etc/network/interfaces file:
-----------------------------------------------------------
$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid ##SSID##
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-proto RSN
wpa-pairwise CCMP
wpa-group CCMP
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-psk ##PSK KEY##
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0 eth1
-----------------------------------------------------------
So, eth1 is my wireless connection, eth0 is my wired connection.
Without the bridge, I'm able to make a connection on my wireless side,
as on my wired side.
When I bring up the bridge, nothing works ... I'm not able to ping anything.
This is my routing table:
-----------------------------------------------------------
$ route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 br0

-----------------------------------------------------------
And ifconfig -a information
-----------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------
So I'm sure the wireless network card is able to bridge (as it works
in Windows). I'm not sure if it works in Ubuntu. But what can the
problem be? Is there something wrong in my configuration file? When do
you choose dhcp/static/manual Which log files should I check, just to
understand what's going wrong?
Thanks for you time to read this mail. I really hope somebody can help
me out here :-( ...
Jochen
