[Voyage-linux] Wrap Voyage 2.6.20-486-voyage DHCP relay howto?

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi,

Clear enough, I use ONE of the following ways.  My setup is different 
than your, so you need some explorations.

1) set up wireless client in 10.1.20.x, all wireless traffic NAT'd from 
10.1.20.x to eth0 (internet outbound).  (I run dnsmasq to provide dhcp 
for 10.1.20.x, see  /etc/dnsmasq.more.conf)

auto ath0
iface ath0 inet static
        address 10.1.20.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 10.1.20.255
         madwifi-base wifi0
         wireless-mode Master
        up iwpriv ath0 mode 3
        up iwconfig ath0 mode master
        up iwconfig ath0 essid voyage channel 1
        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.  Set up wireless bridge on 192.168.1.2, bridging eth0 and ath0 to br0
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
       address 192.168.1.2
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       network 192.168.1.0
       broadcast 192.168.1.255
       gateway 192.168.1.1
       bridge_ports eth0 ath0
       pre-up wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
       pre-up iwpriv ath0 mode 11g
       pre-up iwconfig ath0 essid "voyage" channel 1
       up ifconfig ath0 down ; ifconfig ath0 up # this is a workaround
       post-down wlanconfig ath0 destroy
