Thanks for the pointer. I assume the short answer (gleamed from the above link) is: "this can't be done (easily)". I have it working now without bridges using hostapd, dnsmasq and a static route in the upstream router (ipfire). This has the (small) drawback I have a second subnet and a largely useless dnsmaq installed. My setup is with a separate firewall (ipfire) connected to the Internet; on the GREEN LAN I have another server with an "Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)" managed via ath9k and hostapd. On "server" (ubuntu-workstation 10.10; I had some problems convincing NetworkManager not to meddle with the interfaces) I have: ======================== auto wlan2 iface wlan2 inet static address 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255 auto eth2 iface eth2 inet dhcp # gets address from ipfire in the range 192.168.1.100-129 ======================== IPV4 routing is enabled. hostapd and dnsmasq are set and configured. On "ipfire" I have the additional static route ======================== route add -net 192.168.2.0/24 gw server ======================== Any comment? Can I simplify? Is this The Right Way to go?
