[LARTC] Rewriting output interface

[LARTC] Rewriting output interface

[Hampton Maxwell]

I would like to setup some rules for a wireless bridge to do load balancing. 
  I'd like to dedicate one radio for doing transmit and one for receive.

               router
                 |
                 |
  ------------- eth0 ----------------
  |                                 |
wlan0       upstream device      wlan1
  |                                 ^
  |                                 |
  V   =============    ^
  |                                 |
  V                                 |
wlan2      downstream device     wlan3
  |                                 |
  ------------- eth0 ----------------
                 |
                 |
              network

All traffic headed to the network will be sent out on wlan0, while all 
traffic headed to the router to be sent on wlan3.  Is tc capable of doing 
something like this, and if so, how would I configure it?  I would prefer to 
bridge the traffic rather than routing it.

Thanks,
Hampton

We are using a madwifi type driver that supports wds.  I just don't know how 
to setup the dual-bonded part of it.  If someone has experience doing this 
with an ethernet only setup, I can adapt that to our network.

Cheers,
Hampton
