All nodes with the exception of the gateway will only have the wlan cards active. The gateway will have all three ports active. traffic needs to be bessed back and fourth on the nodes by way of the wifi cards.

I have the mesh working just fine. As soon as I attempt to create the bridge by adding the eth port alone, my ssh session pukes and i have to reboot the gateway. Ive tried, from a console, to do the bridge and as soon as I add or try to add actually, the wlan port, brctl pukes and tells me that the card is not capable of doing that.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This should be straight forward.
