[Voyage-linux] bridge wlan eth [ 0.7.5 ]

[(spam-protected)]

Yes, sure. Works perfectly now!

To be honest my first attempt was to assign an ipv6 address to br0 instead of wlan0. It didn't work. No idea why, probably my interfaces file was dirty or something went wrong restarting the /etc/init.d/networking
A fresh reboot sorted out.

Sincerely, thanks a million

p.s.

for future search I leave down below configuration files:

On AP side:

/etc/network/interfaces

auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
       bridge_ports eth0 wlan0
iface br0 inet6 static
        address fec0::1
        netmask 64
        gateway fec0::1

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
        hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.wlan0.conf
