That's ok, but then if you are using those ports there you don't need any of this: > iface eth0 inet static > address 192.168.0.18 > netmask 255.255.255.0 > network 192.168.0.0 > broadcast 192.168.0.255 > > iface eth2 inet static > address 192.168.0.19 > netmask 255.255.255.0 > network 192.168.0.0 > broadcast 192.168.0.255 > wireless_mode managed > wireless_essid myESSID > wireless_channel 1 > wireless_key 1234... In fact, as eth0 and eth1 don't have an auto on their definition I assume they are not configured, unless the hotplug system does so because of some other lines on your config. If you want to have a bridge interface configure it, and add to it whatever ports you need, and if some of those ports need some preconfig, then you must do so on a pre-up command on your bridge definition. This would be something like... auto br0 iface br0 inet static address 192.168.0.4 network 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.100 bridge_ports eth2 eth0 pre-up iwconfig eth2 mode managed essid myESSID channel 1 key 1234... I have not tested this right now, but if I didn't get any mistakes on the syntax that should work, you can even have several pre-up lines with different iwconfig commands or whatever you need for your card. I believe that's the best way to do what you want, even though there are other ways, try that and let us know how that went so that we can close this bug.
