My new wifi adapter finally arrived today (AR9271) so I want to give hostap a try with its new 802.11n support. Unfortunately, all the examples I’ve found center around creating a router/AP when all I want to make is an AP - as in, no DHCP or routing. I just want to bridge my wired network to the wireless one. I want all DHCP requests from wireless devices to get passed to my router so it assigns the address (192.168.77.x).My interfaces are configured like this: /etc/hostname.re0 dhcp /ets/hostname.athn0 media autoselect mode 11n media opt host ap chan 1 nwid testytesterson wpakey testingx inet 192.168.77.253 255.255.255.0 /etc/hostname.bridge0 add athn0 add re0 up A client laptop (running linux mint) sees the access point but will not connect to it. Am I on the right track? Should a bridge be adequate or do I need to configure pf to route between the interfaces? Perhaps the configs for a simple AP-only setup would be a good example for the faq. Thanks Jordon
You may want to use tcpdump(8) on the various interfaces, including pflog0, to see what's going on.
It's not clear to me whether the bridge needs IP forwarding enabled. Assuming that it does, and you don't have it active, see sysctl.conf(5) for an example to enable it. (I'd say only do this if there's really no traffic at all from the one interface to the other)
