Hi again,
after some fumbling with /etc/network/interfaces I am at a point where I have
no clue what I am doing wrong :-( and like to ask for some help again,
allthough I believe it`s something really simple.
Up to now I managed to configure the router to run in client mode and when I
only restart eth1 it connects to the WLAN and everything is working fine.
However when I try to setup the bridge I can`t no longer connect to the router.
Here`s my configuration:
auto eth0.0
iface eth0.0 inet manual
switch-ports 1 2 3 4 5*
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wireless-type broadcom
wireless-country DE
wireless-mode sta
wireless-ssid Z15
wireless-channel 11
wireless-security wpa-psk
wireless-authorization psk2
wireless-encryption aes
wireless-wpa-key Zweibrueckenstrasse15
wireless-bridge-if br0
auto br0
iface br0 inet manual
bridge-ifaces eth0.0 eth1
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast +
I have bridge-utils installed and ip_forward is enabled. I tried ifup -a, as
well as /etc/init.d/S40network restart and also fwcf commit + reboot.
Am I on the right track with the above configuration (I have to admit that I am
no expert when it comes to bridging)?
Thanks in Advance and Best Regards
Michael
