Hello, I how an embedded processor that needs to act as a bridge between a wireless and wired network. I have managed to bring up the bridge fine. I can also bring up the bridge with a static ip address. However I can not figure out how to bring up the bridge with a dynamic ip address. Is it possible to for a bridge to get a dynamically assigned ip address? Oliver
Stephen, I am not sure I understand this.> DHCP will work on the bridge interface (br0) but you need to have the > bridge and ethernets up, and the forwarding delay has to expired. > After that the eth0 will be in the forwarding state.My script looks like this ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 brctl addbr mybridge brctl addif eth0 brctl addif wlan0 #ifconfig mybridge 192.168.1.136 netmask 255.255.255.0 up ifconfig mybridge up Should I be waiting before I run the ifconfig mybridge up?
