Package: bridge-utils
Version: 1.1-1
Hi,
using ifup works great to initialize both eth0 (LAN) and eth2 (WLAN) on
my system. But I fail to use the bridge mode. The IP address is properly
set as well as the routing table, but the wireless LAN settings such as
ESSID and key are ignored from /etc/network/interfaces.
# ifup br0
Waiting for br0 to get ready (MAXWAIT is 30 seconds).
# iwconfig eth2
eth2 IEEE 802.11b/g Mode:Auto Frequency:2.412 GHz
Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power=31 dBm
Sensitivity=20/200
Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:2347 B Fragment thr:2346 B
Encryption key:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
My config:
# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# This entry denotes the loopback (127.0.0.1) interface.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.0.4
network 192.168.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.100
bridge_ports eth2 eth0
iface eth0 inet static

The following works well:
# ifdown br0
# ifup eth0
# ifup eth2
# brctl addbr br0
# brctl addif br0 eth2
# brctl addif br0 eth0
# route del -net 192.168.0.0/24 eth2
# route del -net 192.168.0.0/24 eth0
# ifconfig br0 192.168.0.4 up
# route add default gw 192.168.0.100 br0
# iwconfig eth2
