Devicescape has released under GPL a module that performs L2-NAT as required for bridging to work between an 802.11 client and ethernet.
If someone would volunteer to do the work to incorporate this module into the kernel we would be very happy for that to happen.

The problem isn't just in the bridge code, it would require more extensive work to the wireless drivers as well. _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
