Why not leave DHCP on for the router (so it's serving) and just use a
static IP for the SB?
That's what I did. Sorry I wasn't clear.

Rather than clutter up my network with even more lashed-together crap, I
took the easy route: I upgraded my dhcpd to ISC 4.0.0. It's working
great now!

Um, ok. That's not how I define bridge in my mind, but that doesn't
matter right now :-)
I played around some this evening with no joy. It leads me to wonder -

rest of the net via wireless ... not the other way around.
The SB can only connect to an AP, it can't act as one.
Ah. That's a piece of information I didn't have, though it makes
sense.
I have turned off DHCP and the squeezebox is working ... but not
obviously as a bridge. The device I'm bridging to will only do DHCP, so
I'll have to do some more

Electrically powered on, of course. But no, it doesn't matter if it's
in standby (or screensaver) mode. Those are really just UI states.

No, it has to be connected to the network (i.e. associated) but it
doesn't need to be connected to SN or SC (or actually even have a valid
IP).

DHCP can be flaky with bridging, and it's usually the fault of the DHCP
server - I've had all sorts of trouble with it in the past. Basically
the server is getting confused as to why there are two devices asking
for IPs from what looks to it like the same place. If the server was
implemented
OK thanks - I'll give that a try... though I would have thought that the
bridging doesn't reuse the MAC address (that's why it's a bridge), so it
doesn't look like the same place ...

Try a factory reset? All my SB2/SB3 use DHCP, and I've often used them
as bridges for other devices. Neither the Squeezeboxes nor the bridged
devices have had any trouble getting DHCP leases or using the network.

The frame comes from the bridge, because that's the device which is
actually connected to
I'm trying to set up my SB2 as a wireless bridge. I plug in the device
with a crossover cable (and power it up - that's important!). I get the
prompt to turn on bridging and do so. It continues to try to join the
network .. fine. Then DHCP fails.
This is 100% reliable. If I turn bridging off, it
