Sorry,
I was not clear enough.

I have the wireless card up-and-running in ap-mode using hostapd.
I *can* connect a laptop to the wireless Access Point.
I also know how to setup a masquerading router on the linux machine to share the landline connection (e.g.: using firestarter).
This would create a second net for wireless with double natting.
I would like to avoid this and I'm looking for a "bridge" configuration so that all machines (wireless & wired) can share the same subnet (192.68.1.0/24).

I tried something like:
=====================
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto wlan2
iface wlan2 inet manual
    up /usr/sbin/service hostapd start
    up /sbin/ifconfig wlan2 up
    down /sbin/ifconfig wlan2 down
    down /usr/sbin/service hostapd stop

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet manual
    up /sbin/ifconfig eth2 up
    down /sbin/ifconfig eth2 down

auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
    bridge_ports eth2 wlan2
    bridge_maxwait 0
=====================
... but it does not seem to work as hoped.

Thanks in Advance for *ANY* hint ;)

Hi,
I read a lot on the Internet, but didn't find quite what I need.
I'm not even sure it's possible.

I have a machine with ethernet access and wireless card (in master mode).
Both are running ok under ubuntu maverick.
I also have a separate firewall (wired) acting as DHCP server for my
whole home network.
I would like to bind the two interfaces together with no translation (no
NAT, SNAT, masquerading, ...) so that the machines connecting to the
wireless lan can get their address from the firewall and access the
Internet.

Is this possible with bridging?
If so: can someone point me to the right documentation?

Mauro
