Hi all
Hopefully someone can answer this for me. I've been trawling the world for
how to's and have yet to come up with something to do my job.
What i want to do is build a Linux Wireless Bridge, not an access point,
done that !
I currently have a Lucent RG running with cabled & wireless clients working
successfully and what i want to do is build a linux/bsd box which can bridge
to this (RG/AP in house -to- Linux Bridge in the Garage with ethernet to
servers.) and allow access to all nodes connected to the RG (192.168.1.x
subnet) as well as use this as the gateway to the internet from the Garage,
seperate subnet is fine if it has to be the case.
I am now at the pulling out hair stage. I can get a bsd box with Lucent card
& NIC to talk to both the access point and the cabled lan, but cannot get
them to bridge.
Someone please put me at rest and tell my if it can be done or not.
My next option is to add another AP (in ad-hoc mode with different ssid) to
my wireless subnet (RG) and try bridging that way on complete seperate
wireless n/w to the linux box, seems like an overkill but if it's the
solution so be it.
a big tia
