[Voyage-linux] Bridging problem with 0.6.2

[Edwin Whitelaw]

Re an earlier post regarding bridging - I have configured to route and 
the client connects and accesses the 'net just fine so it appears there 
really is a problem when in bridging mode or I've left something out.  
The only difference between the two are the interfaces files.


-----routing mode---------this works-----
# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.10.77
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.10.0
        broadcast 192.168.10.255
        gateway 192.168.10.254

auto ath0
iface ath0 inet static
        address 192.168.11.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.11.0
        broadcast 192.168.11.255
        madwifi-base wifi0
        wireless-mode master
        wireless-essid test
        wireless-channel 11
        wireless-key s:XXXXXXXXXXXX
        iwpriv ath0 mode 11g
       post-down wlanconfig ath0 destroy


-------interfaces routing-----------

--------interfaces bridging----does not work---

        up athctrl -i wifi0 -d 9600
        up iwpriv ath0 mode 3
       post-down wlanconfig ath0 destroy


----interfaces bridging--------

The bridging interfaces file works under 0.5.2.
I've tried with and w/o encryption.

I've installed the madwifi modules per Punky's suggestion.

ldridgev6:/etc/network# dpkg -l | grep madwifi
ii  madwifi-modules-2.6.26-486-voyage  1:0.9.4~rc2-1+6.0-3


Anyone have success where I've not?  Any suggestions?

TIA,

Edwin
