--- Begin Message ---Package: bridge-utils Version: 1.1-1 Hi, using ifup works great to initialize both eth0 (LAN) and eth2 (WLAN) on my system. But I fail to use the bridge mode. The IP address is properly set as well as the routing table, but the wireless LAN settings such as ESSID and key are ignored from /etc/network/interfaces. # ifup br0 Waiting for br0 to get ready (MAXWAIT is 30 seconds). # iwconfig eth2 eth2 IEEE 802.11b/g Mode:Auto Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power=31 dBm Sensitivity=20/200 Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:2347 B Fragment thr:2346 B Encryption key:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 My config: # cat /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.
