[Voyage-linux] WDS bridge

[Stefan Nakov]

Hi everybody,
a week ago i bought 2 x Alix 3d2 with 2x Atheros wireless adaptors.

I installed Linux Voyage 0.6.0 and the first nice experience was when i made
an AP. :)

But now I want to make something else.

I want to have a wireless bridge with the two alix boards.
I understand that the interface has to be in WDS mode. But I am not sure
what i have to do.

Is it the same as making an AP?
And what should be the settings on the first and on the second ALIX.

I was thinking like : For the first alix board which will be connected to a
router by LAN and by the wireless adapter via bridge to the other alix:...

*ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up*

wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap

*wlanconfig ath1 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode wds*

*iwconfig ath0 essid "Alix 1 " channel 1*
*ifconfig ath0 up*
*ifconfig ath1 up

brctl addbr br0

ifconfig br0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

brctl addif br0 eth0

brctl addif br0 ath0*
*
*
And I don't know what i should write to the other Alix to create the
bridge...
I think that the channels must be the same ex. channel 1 for both.

I am not sure what should I do ...

Can somebody with experience give some advice or examples.

Thanks...
