Hi Davide,<br>
<br>
This is easy:<br>
<br>
In /etc/network/interfaces (br0 request IP from dhcp):<br>
auto br0<br>
iface br0 inet dhcp<div class="im"><br>
bridge_ports eth0 wlan0<br>
<br>
auto eth0<br></div>
iface eth0 inet manual<br>
<br>
auto wlan0<br>
iface wlan0 inet manual<div class="im"><br>
hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.wlan0.<u></u>conf<br>
<br></div>
In /etc/hostapd/hostapd.wlan0.<u></u>conf, make sure you have line:<br>
<br>
bridge=br0<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm having some troubles configuring an access point and bridging the wifi to the ethernet.<br>
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.<br>
<br>
I'm facing two main problems:<br>
<br>
1) when I bring up the wifi interface (wlan0) the machine cannot reach internet anymore.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Please, can you have a look to my /etc/network/interfaces below?<br>
<br>
Many thanks<br>
<br>
Davide<br>
