I'm looking to set up a transparent wireless/cat5 in the uncommon direction - i.e. the network and rest of the world are on the wireless side and the LAN is on the cat5 side. At some point, I'll probably go with a hardware solution, but for the moment Debian is what I've got. I don't need firewalling, filtering, routing, or NAT - just a transparent bridge. So what is the "Debian proper" way to do this? From what I've read online, I need to ultimately do...
brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 eth1 ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 ifconfig br0 netmask 255.255.240.0 broadcast 10.36.127.255 Is the last line correct (assuming my numbers are right)? That is, I don't assign an IP address to br0 because it's transparent? For the same reason, I shouldn't be doing any routing, correct? Also, do I need entries in interfaces for eth0 or eth1? Or should I just write everything I need into a script, dump that into init.d, and create links appropriately?
