This is not option as my laptops need to be in the same network.

The sample is not clear enough for me (nor am I smart enough ;-))

Maybe you can help me a bit.

My current setup is like this (and working ok, except for the wireless):

etho: uplink to internet
eth1: 192.168.0.254, (NAT) router for the 192.168.0.0/24 network
eth2: 192.168.1.254, (NAT) router for the 192.168.1.0/24 network
ath0: Doing nothing right now, but it has an address in the
192.168.0.0/24 network and it is visible by the wireless laptops. There
is even communication which is visible when I use tcpdump on the laptops
and /or on wrap router. Should provide access for wireless laptops to
the 192.168.0.0/24 network and internet.

My current settings for eth1/ath0:

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
    address 192.168.0.254
    network 192.168.0.0
    netmask 255.255.255.0

auto ath0
iface ath0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.253
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.0.255
        #pre-up wlanconfig ath create wlandev wifi1 wlanmode ap
         madwifi-base wifi0
         wireless-mode Master
#         wireless-mode Adhoc
#         wireless-mode Managed
        up iwpriv ath0 mode 3
        up iwconfig ath0 mode master
        up iwconfig ath0 key s:XXXXXXXXXXXX
        up iwconfig ath0 essid XYZ
        up iwconfig ath0 txpower auto
#        up iwconfig ath0 enc off
        up iwconfig ath0 rate auto
#        up nat.sh ath0 eth0 "10.1.20.0/24"


2 questions:
1. Which of the WDS bridge samples should I use: madiwifi-ng WDS bridge
or the hostap WDS bridge?
2. Could you spell out the exact (as possible) settings  I must use? I
really have tried a lot of combinations/settings, but up to now, they
all lead to some kind of "must use a terminal because I lost network
connection" or "where is the on/of switch"???? I even tried sacrificing
a young goat on the wireless antenna but that did not work either....

TIA
