I think you mean bridge_hw (with an underscore instead of a dash?). I can't find any information about bridge-hw in the man pages. So, I need to specify it in the bridge stanza like this: bridge_hw ##HERE_COMES_THE_MAC_ADDRESS_OF_THE_EHT1_INTERFACE## Right? > > That beeing said, Jonathan might be right about the need for WDS...

I will check it tonight (I'm not at home right now!) Thanks for your tips, I'll keep you updated! _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
