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 ;)
Regards
Mauro
