[Voyage-linux] bridge wlan eth [ 0.7.5 ]

[(spam-protected)]

Hi,

I'm having some troubles configuring an access point and bridging the wifi to the ethernet.
The AP is inside a LAN network and gets the ethernet IP from the DHCP server. At the same time it has a static wifi network to manage.

I'm facing two main problems:

1) when I bring up the wifi interface (wlan0) the machine cannot reach internet anymore.

2) when I bring up the bridge interface (br0) the eth0 get confused with the DHCP server and is not reachable anymore. From netstat I can see that the default gateway becomes the br0 gateway for the eth0 interface and the wlan0 loses the ip.

I think that I should add some route telling to the wlan0 how to use the br0 to get the eth0 and the other way around but I cannot figure it out. I'm a bit confused regarding the bridge interface usage. In witch subnet it supposed to be? does it has to be in a separated one? I'm googoling but I haven't get it yet.

Please, can you have a look to my /etc/network/interfaces below?

Many thanks 

Davide
