I've got a couple boxes in a network. One is a laptop with a wireless card and a standard 100-baseT ethernet interface. The other is a desktop with a wired PCI NIC. (Actually, the desktop is the box with the as yet nonfunctioning Broadcom based wireless card, for those of you keeping score at home.) I want to create a bridge on the laptop from the wireless connection (eth1) to the wired connection (eth0), and have the wired connection farm out a DHCP address to the host it is connected to via a crossover cable.
I've compiled the bridge module in the kernel, and I've emerge'd the bridge-utils package. The ultimate goal is for the desktop machine to be able to access the Internet through the laptop and over the laptop's wireless connection. Where do I go from here?
