Sorry, my thick fingers and clumsy brain replied in private. I think the confirmation it works deserves to be public. And the answer for the bridge seems to be yes: auto wlanA iface wlanA inet static address 10.0.128.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 10.0.128.0 broadcast 10.0.128.255 post-up systemctl try-reload-or-restart isc-dhcp-server.service bridge_ports none allow-hotplug wlan1 iface wlan1 inet manual post-up iw dev wlan1 set 4addr on post-up ip link set dev wlan1 master wlanA post-up systemctl start hostapd@wlan1.service pre-down systemctl stop hostapd@wlan1.service The 4addr is a bit mysterious, but it seems to work.

The Netgear A6210 (mt76 driver) would do. Readily available in France at Darty.
Wifi USB dongle
Hi. I am looking for a USB dongle for wifi. Can anybody here recommend one that (1) is currently available on the market reliably, (2) supports the 5 GHz band, (3) correctly supported by Debian (testing and I can tolerate binary blobs if they are in the archive), (4) including as access point (it's the main use!)? I am using a TP-Link TL-WN772N (7 by 3 centimeters, black with one side white and a white antenna) with an Atheros AR9271 802.11n chipset, it fit my needs, but I want 5 GHz because the 2.5 GHz band is a bit crowded here. Unfortunately, I read that TP-Link changed the chipset for its next model, and it requires a separate module and no longer works as access point. Thanks in advance. -- Nicolas George signature.asc Description: PGP signature
