I'm not sure how this particular solution works for my arrangement. I
have two 10/100 ethernet interfaces on the local net and one atheros
interface. I understand the issues w/ the 802.11a/b/g/i protocols, but
this particular solution sounds as if I want to bridge two networks
that are separated by a network segment, like a VPN. But I have all
these interfaces on one machine that I want bridged. Also, it appears
as if the two ethernet interfaces aren't forwarding traffic to each
other either. I am currently attached to an access point that is
directly connected to one ethernet interface. I can ping and establish
an HTTP connection to that AP. I can also ping and establish
connections with the linux gateway router/bridge. I cannot, however,
pass any IP traffic past the linux/router to the AP on the other end,
unless I move to use that AP instead. The linux router can access both
access points and there is no problem with externally routed traffic.
Also, I was wondering, one of the AP's I have is the ASUS WL300g. This
is a linux based router/ap. It bridges the wifi interface and the
ethernet interface. I was curious if anyone knew how this worked?
Thanks,
Derek
