Thanks for the pointer.
I assume the short answer (gleamed from the above link) is: "this can't
be done (easily)".
I have it working now without bridges using hostapd, dnsmasq and a
static route in the upstream router (ipfire).
This has the (small) drawback I have a second subnet and a largely
useless dnsmaq installed.
My setup is with a separate firewall (ipfire) connected to the Internet;
on the GREEN LAN I have another server with an "Atheros Communications
Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)" managed via
ath9k and hostapd.
On "server" (ubuntu-workstation 10.10; I had some problems convincing
NetworkManager not to meddle with the interfaces) I have:
========================
auto wlan2
iface wlan2 inet static
address 192.168.2.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.2.255
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp # gets address from ipfire in the range
192.168.1.100-129
========================
IPV4 routing is enabled.
hostapd and dnsmasq are set and configured.
On "ipfire" I have the additional static route
========================
route add -net 192.168.2.0/24 gw server
========================
Any comment?
Can I simplify?
Is this The Right Way to go?
Thanks
Mauro
