Hi, I have been trolling the 'net as well as the archives of this list for quite a while now. I am still unclear on the requirements for getting an Ethernet and Wireless interface to bridge together. Currently, I am working with an esoteric radio that only supports Ad-Hoc and Managed modes. There seemingly is not support for WDS (Wireless Distribution System) on this radio. I have been trying to bridge my eth0 and wlan0 but it doesn't seem to work. Currently, my commands to get the bridge up are: ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl setfd br0 1 #BusyBox version of brctl doesn't take 0 as a time parameter so I change it to 1 (sec) ifconfig br0 up wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -bbr0 -c/root/wpa_supplicant.conf Then I try to run udhcpc (DHCP client) on the bridge hoping to get DHCP from the AP/router: # udhcpc -ibr0 -b udhcpc (v1.15.2) started Sending discover... Sending discover... Sending discover... No lease, forking to background What I'd like to inquire is that is WDS support in the firmware/hardware of the radio required to bridge eth0 and wlan0? Any other tips to get the above interfaces to successfully bridge together would be great.
