Have you looked at hostapd (http://hostap.epitest.fi/hostapd/)?
Sorry,
I was not clear enough.
I have the wireless card up-and-running in ap-mode using hostapd.
I *can* connect a laptop to the wireless Access Point.
I also know how to setup a masquerading router on the linux machine to
share the landline connection (e.g.: using firestarter).
This would create a second net for wireless with double natting.
I would like to avoid this and I'm looking for a "bridge" configuration
so that all machines (wireless & wired) can share the same subnet
(192.68.1.0/24).
I tried something like:
=====================
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto wlan2
iface wlan2 inet manual
up /usr/sbin/service hostapd start
up /sbin/ifconfig wlan2 up
down /sbin/ifconfig wlan2 down
down /usr/sbin/service hostapd stop
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet manual
up /sbin/ifconfig eth2 up
down /sbin/ifconfig eth2 down
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth2 wlan2
bridge_maxwait 0
=====================
... but it does not seem to work as hoped.
Thanks in Advance for *ANY* hint ;)
Regards
Mauro

Hi,
I read a lot on the Internet, but didn't find quite what I need.
I'm not even sure it's possible.
I have a machine with ethernet access and wireless card (in master
mode).
Both are running ok under ubuntu maverick.
I also have a separate firewall (wired) acting as DHCP server for my
whole home network.
I would like to bind the two interfaces together with no
translation (no
NAT, SNAT, masquerading, ...) so that the machines connecting to the
wireless lan can get their address from the firewall and access the
Internet.
Is this possible with bridging?
If so: can someone point me to the right documentation?

Mauro
