hi,
   
  i have my wireless LAN card connected in USB port of linux machine at eth1, 
   
  and another wireless LAN card connected to USB port of windows machine. 
   
  the LAN card of windows has been plugged out. now, i want to access the 
   
  internet sites on windows machine through the wireless LAN b/w the 2 
   
  machines.
   
  I have successfully made a bridge b/w eth0 and eth1 of my linux machine using 
   
  the "brctl" etc commands, 
   
  entered the ip adress of WLAN of linux machine in internet explorer/tools/internet options/connections/LAN settings/proxy server of windows machine.

If you read the FAQ on http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/bridge
you will see that bridging to wireless is going to work because Linux bridging
doesn't support NDS.  The problem isn't just in the bridge code, it would require
more extensive work to the wireless drivers as well.

[Simon Barber]

Devicescape has released under GPL a module that performs L2-NAT as
required for bridging to work between an 802.11 client and ethernet.

If someone would volunteer to do the work to incorporate this module
into the kernel we would be very happy for that to happen.
