Hi,
Clear enough, I use ONE of the following ways. My setup is different
than your, so you need some explorations.
1) set up wireless client in 10.1.20.x, all wireless traffic NAT'd from
10.1.20.x to eth0 (internet outbound). (I run dnsmasq to provide dhcp
for 10.1.20.x, see /etc/dnsmasq.more.conf)
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet static
address 10.1.20.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 10.1.20.255
madwifi-base wifi0
wireless-mode Master
up iwpriv ath0 mode 3
up iwconfig ath0 mode master
up iwconfig ath0 essid voyage channel 1
up iwconfig ath0 txpower auto
up iwconfig ath0 enc off
up iwconfig ath0 rate auto
up nat.sh ath0 eth0 "10.1.20.0/24"
2. Set up wireless bridge on 192.168.1.2, bridging eth0 and ath0 to br0
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge_ports eth0 ath0
pre-up wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
pre-up iwpriv ath0 mode 11g
pre-up iwconfig ath0 essid "voyage" channel 1
up ifconfig ath0 down ; ifconfig ath0 up # this is a workaround
post-down wlanconfig ath0 destroy

Hi,
You have 2 method to do so.
1. Use voyage to provide DHCP service to your wireless client. You can
start dnsmasq for this purpose. Read /etc/dnsmasq.more.conf and
/etc/network/interfaces has some sample conf for setting up 10.1.x.x
network.
This is not option as my laptops need to be in the same network.
So
2. Make your wrap AP as bridge, read /etc/network/interface, there is an
example to run atheros card as AP.
The sample is not clear enough for me (nor am I smart enough ;-))
Maybe you can help me a bit.
My current setup is like this (and working ok, except for the wireless):
etho: uplink to internet
eth1: 192.168.0.254, (NAT) router for the 192.168.0.0/24 network
eth2: 192.168.1.254, (NAT) router for the 192.168.1.0/24 network
ath0: Doing nothing right now, but it has an address in the
192.168.0.0/24 network and it is visible by the wireless laptops. There
is even communication which is visible when I use tcpdump on the laptops
and /or on wrap router. Should provide access for wireless laptops to
the 192.168.0.0/24 network and internet.
My current settings for eth1/ath0:
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.0.254
network 192.168.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet static
address 192.168.0.253
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
#pre-up wlanconfig ath create wlandev wifi1 wlanmode ap
madwifi-base wifi0
wireless-mode Master
# wireless-mode Adhoc
# wireless-mode Managed
up iwpriv ath0 mode 3
up iwconfig ath0 mode master
up iwconfig ath0 key s:XXXXXXXXXXXX
up iwconfig ath0 essid XYZ
up iwconfig ath0 txpower auto
# up iwconfig ath0 enc off
up iwconfig ath0 rate auto
# up nat.sh ath0 eth0 "10.1.20.0/24"
2 questions:
1. Which of the WDS bridge samples should I use: madiwifi-ng WDS bridge
or the hostap WDS bridge?
2. Could you spell out the exact (as possible) settings I must use? I
really have tried a lot of combinations/settings, but up to now, they
all lead to some kind of "must use a terminal because I lost network
connection" or "where is the on/of switch"???? I even tried sacrificing
a young goat on the wireless antenna but that did not work either....
TIA
