Problems using Edimax WLAN 5-in-1 as a bridge

Hi experts,

I'm trying to bridge 2 wired LAN segments using 2 Edimax WLAN 5-in-1's
and also trying to provide an AP, but strange things are happening ...

My network is setup as follows:

Linux PC <-----> Switch <---> Edimax WLAN 5-in-1 in P2P mode
192.168.2.4 192.168.2.2

Ultra-10
192.168.2.5
<===> Switch <---> Edimax WLAN 5-in-1 in "repeater" mode
192.168.2.3 192.168.2.1 i.e. AP + P2MP mode
ASDL modem

>From the PC I can ping both Edimax's but not the Ultra-10 nor ADSL

modem
>From the Ultra-10 I can only ping the local Edimax (and ADSL modem of

course).

Could it possibly be a routing problem? I thought the Edimax was
supposed to be a transparent bridge.

Please help!

Ken.

>From your setup there, I would connect the Modem to the Edimax in AP
mode and the
other one in AP Client mode or Repeater mode depending on which works
best (not sure how many devices you have on the switch. Or you can run
both in PtP but have no wireless for clients. PtMP is usually for more
than 2 networks but could be just the way edimax calls it on their
config (aka AP + PTMP = Repeater???)

Thanks, I clicked on the help within the config web manager and that
describes "repeater mode" as what I think of as a repeater i.e. it only
relays WLAN traffic on to an AP.

I've reconfigured that Edimax from "repeater" to "p2p", checked it
worked, then reconfigured it as an AP. My 2 Edimax's are now acting as
a wireless bridge between my 2 wired LAN segments with one of them
serving as an AP.

Now I want to setup another PC with an Edimax USB WLAN adaptor, but I'm
having difficulty finding an FAQ on how to install the Windows driver
so it can be used by ndiswrapper. Can anyone point me in the right
direction?

Ken.
