hi, i have my wireless LAN card connected in USB port of linux machine at eth1, and another wireless LAN card connected to USB port of windows machine. the LAN card of windows has been plugged out. now, i want to access the internet sites on windows machine through the wireless LAN b/w the 2 machines. I have successfully made a bridge b/w eth0 and eth1 of my linux machine using the "brctl" etc commands, entered the ip adress of WLAN of linux machine in internet explorer/tools/internet options/connections/LAN settings/proxy server of windows machine. --------------------------------- Find out what India is talking about on - Yahoo!

The problem isn't just in the bridge code, it would require more extensive work to the wireless drivers as well.
