Hello, I have never used a wireless interface yet but as long as you have ip_forwarding enabled it should forward the packets across the interfaces, the clients must be setup to route packets to the wireless interface either by a default route or a routing table entry. If you want the packets to be MASQUERADE that should be as simple as adding a rule for packets leaving the interface. Michael.
