OK, I have now the followings in my /etc/network/interfaces file: <file> auto lo iface lo inet loopback # Internet on eth0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp # LAN on eth1 allow-hotplug eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # wifi on wlan0 allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual # for static ip iface br0 inet static bridge_ports eth0 wlan0 # adapt with your network settings address 192.168.10.250 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.10.0 broadcast 192.168.10.255 gateway 192.168.10.1 </file> Now, when I run the command: sudo ifup wlan0 I get nothing as output.. If I run it again, I get: ifup: interface wlan0 already configured but, the command sudo ifconfig -a gives to me only: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:02:00:07:3c inet addr:95.85.143.55 Bcast:95.85.143.255 Mask:255.255.252.0 inet6 addr: fe80::222:2ff:fe00:73c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:827310 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:187232 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:400388262 (381.8 MiB) TX bytes:46632384 (44.4 MiB) Base address:0x8000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:02:00:07:3d inet addr:192.168.10.1 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::222:2ff:fe00:73d/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:179577 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:269461 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:47300513 (45.1 MiB) TX bytes:345162067 (329.1 MiB) Base address:0xc000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:8398 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8398 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2537465 (2.4 MiB) TX bytes:2537465 (2.4 MiB) and sudo iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. eth1 no wireless extensions.
