Hi Mauro, The ability to bridge between LAN and WLAN depends on the particular WLAN N= IC you use. See=20 http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/bridge#It_= doesn.27t_work_with_my_Wireless_card.21=20 for the details. I suggest you first build a working bridge configuration with normal (wired= ) NICs. Then, add a WLAN=20 interface to the bridge and see what happens. Also, if you want us to help, consider adding your bridge configuration and= wifi configuration to=20 your message, after removing any "secrets" from the wifi configuration, if = appropriate. Nicolas.
