<pre wrap="">One possible solution is:
Two radios in your WRAP, one 5GHz for the backhaul (Master or Managed)
and one 2.4GHz for the local AP. Don't know if you have the
radios/antennas for an 11 mi 5GHz link. Another option is to look into
the new 900MHz radios for your backhaul.

That is what I want to do. I have really big dishes for the 5ghz link and
a good fade margin setup. I also have a 2.4ghz card to act as the AP with
a little panel antenna. What I am confused about is how to set the
interfaces up.

What do you mean?<br>
The first interface is ath0 the second ath1 if you put 2 wireless cards
in one wrap.<br>
You must do every operation on the desired interface. i.e.<br>
to set 2.4 GHz on one card use for example:<br>
iwpriv ath0 mode 3<br>
to set 5.8GHz on the other card use:<br>
iwpriv ath1 mode 1<br>
<br>
If you mean the ethernet interface ...<br>
You can have several ip addresse on the ethernet interface if this is
the problem.<br>
I don't know about VPN because I never used it but say you want to nets
<br>
1. 10.0.0.X 255.255.255.0 <br>
and<br>
2. 192.2.1.X 255.255.255.0<br>
over ethernet<br>
You set up anyone to eth0<br>
ifconfig eth0 XXX<br>
and the second one<br>
ifconfig eth0:1 YYYY<br>
The same is in /etc/network/interfaces.<br>
So you have this 2 nets on the same ethernet interface.<br>
<br>
Don't know if this helps ...<br>

<pre wrap="">Also, while not recommended by some, it is possible to run two 2.4GHz
radios on a single WRAP with one as backhaul and the other as AP. Be
prepared for some throughput loss and absolutely run as channels 1 & 11
to minimize the radio interference.
Is bridging a hard and fast requirement? Routing will give much better
control over your traffic and makes things a lot easier. I have also
found that if there is any problem in your bridge configuration you can
end up with no access via ethernet whereas a static IP on the port is
fairly bullet proof as far as assuring you a reliable access on reboot.

The backhaul needs to be bridged, I need to see the MAC address that are
comming across it. I suppose I could forgo that requirment if it really is
easier to route it. I can mess with the MAC's at the router at the far
side of the backhaul. The AP does not need to be bridged but that is how I
have always done it. So mostly what I need is idea on how everything needs
to be setup maybe with an example so I can copy it and put in my own IP's.

I don't understand the problem of the mac. Why don't you have the mac
anymore in router mode?<br>
