Hi Jacques
first a short hadrware description:
I am running a small network containing
a Samba file server (suse linux 6.3)
a Windows95 workstation
a Windows98 workstation
a development box (debian slink)
I am using the development box for testing.
It has a Pentium 166 MMX, a 3c509 nic, an EtherWorks3 nic
and a Tekram Air.mate PC-400 wireless board
For the wireless board i am using the hostap modules
see http://people.ssh.com/jkm/Prism2/
The second wireless machine is a WindowsNT4 box
here is what I have done til now:
i have copied the modules (ewrk3, 3c509, bridge, hostap_pci)
to /lib/modules and declared them in /etc/modules in this sequence
I removed shorewall, pump, dnscache,weblet and keyboard from
syslinux.cfg and added bridge, wireutil, wireless
removed unused packages from floppy and copied wireutil-24 and
wireless-24 to floppy
I defined the interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.254
masklen 24
broadcast 192.168.1.255
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.253
masklen 24
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.253
Now I could ping each other box.
Then I declared the bridge and removed the interfaces
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.1.254
network 192.168.1.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge_ports eth1 wlan0
now when booting I get the error message
Don't seem to be have all the variables for br0/inet.
I then found a mail regarding the netmask parameter and changed it to
masklen 24
but nothing changed.
I tried to setup the bridge manually:
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 eth1
brctl addif br0 wlan0
ip addr add 192.168.1.253 dev br0
ip link set br0 up
ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 via 192.168.1.253
Now I could ping the whole network from the NT box and
windows network browsing worked.
ifup -v br0 reports:
Configuring interface br0=br0 (inet)
Don't seem to be have all the variables for br0/inet.
I have also added all documented parameters to the interfaces file.
Nothing changed.
