Hi, I'm trying to connect my laptop ( Windows XP/ Intel Pro Wireless 2011) to my private lan without using a dedicated access point but a " linux bridge"
Here is my setup . ADSL connection ( pppoe and a dachstein CD ) works great for months... thanks CS I got 2 intel 2021 wireless pcmcia card. ( I also got a pci carrier but that's another story) One in my winxp laptop and the other one in the bridge I'm trying to build a bridge using - Bering 1.0rc1 - Laptop ( p133 24MB ram) - ethernet 3c374 pcmcia card - Intel 2021 card Here is what I did to configure bering. - make it boot from the HardDisk (much faster for the tests) - install pcmcia.lrp, libm.lrp, wireless.lrp put 3c574_cs, ds, hermes, orinoco, orinoci_cs, pcmcia_core, yenta_socket in /lib/modules/pcmcia - I had to change the file /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf 3rd line, add "orinoco" between "hermes" and "orinoco_cs" It was not too difficult to have bering load the correct modules for the card. but..... Is such a setup enough to be able to connect my laptop ( winXP/ intel 2011wireless) to my private lan ?? do I need some other software to build my bridge ? How should I configure the wireless card to set the network id..... ?? and after, how to configure the bridging support. To do some test, I grab from the office a Breezenet PC-DS.11 and a siemens I-gate ( insersil chipset).
