Well thank you for the update, indeed it works for me now. That's great. There is at least one advantage to bridging in the script, the AP could be run by wpa-supplicant and not hostapd. Wpa-supplicant doesn't bridge the interface for you, AFAIK. Code: network={

Thats a packaging issue I think. When the kernel was compiled a bunch of modules were compiled, including those we miss. The question would be in which .tcz extension file modules stp.ko and llc.ko have landed, and I dont know how to answer that. 2 SB 3 • 1 PCP 6 • Libratone Loop, Zipp, Zipp

brctl is certainly not a requirement otherwise it would be part of the kernel. Perhaps you can try using "ip": https://baturin.org/docs/iproute2/#ip-link-add-bridge This being said I guess you'll have to bridge ethernet early enough so that it'll get IP configured at boot, and not eth0. Hope
