My question is similar to many questions i've seen here, but the answers i've found didn't help me. I run RH7.2 with a plain (unpatched) 2.4.18 kernel. I try to make a bridge between a wlan card. The card is a Gemtek (wl-211f) with the Prism chipset. I use the access point version of the wlan-ng package (linux-wlan-ng-0.1.8-pre-13-ap). I've managed to set up forwarding with iptables, so I know that the wlan card acts like an access point. When I try to set up the bridge I do this:
/etc/init.d/network down ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc up ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 promisc up brctl addbr br0 brctl addif eth0 brctl addif wlan0 brctl stp br0 off I've tried with and without setting up 'br0' with ifconfig Is it necessary to assign an ip to 'br0' or not? If I don't I can't set the default route, and then the network is unreachable from the bridge-pc. How can I find out where it's stopping? I can't ping the bridge-pc (when I've assigned an IP-address to it) or other machines on the ethernet from the clients. Should the default gateway on the client-pc's be the one that's connected to the internet, or should it be the bride-pc?
