Hello, Thank you VERY much for your reply. Sorry I'm new to bridging I was under the misimpression that I could easily bridge between different networks.
I changed the 192.x network to be on the same network as the 10.x network, created the a vtun with the wireless cards, bridged the vtun & eth cards on the server, and the bridge works beautifully now. thanks very much for this work and your reply.
