Hi,
I have a netgear wgt634u and did use openwrt kamikaze on it for a while,
I started using freewrt last week and I am very please with it, because it
works right from the first trial. And find the startup scripts more simple
and easier to understand.
I noticed though that in /etc/network/interfaces I have to be carefull
not to left a white space at the end of a line. Ex. in the interface
name ('eth0 ' instead of 'eth0' it is causing problems.
I am trying to use freewrt in my netgear wgt634u to connect it to a wifi
acces point who is the gateway to the internet.
The access point is 192.168.0.1, the station is 192.168.0.6 , it works
if I separate ath0 and eth0.0 it works but If I try to put ath0 in the
bridge-ifaces nothing works.
OK with this settings:
iface ath0 inet static
address 192.168.0.6
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
broadcast +
wireless-type atheros
wireless-mode sta
auto eth0.0
iface eth0.0 inet manual
switch-ports 0 1 2 3 5*
#
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
bridge-ifaces eth0.0
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.6
broadcast +
----------------
PROBLEMS WITH THIS:
iface ath0 inet manual
wireless-type atheros
wireless-mode sta
....
auto eth0.0
iface eth0.0 inet manual
switch-ports 0 1 2 3 5*
iface br0 inet static
bridge-ifaces eth0.0 ath0
address 192.168.0.6
gateway 192.168.0.1
....
The reason for this, is that I installed the 'kaid' program in the
freewrt router. This is to play xbox live, it is working if I connect
the xbox with ethernet cable to the main router (192.168.0.1).
Now I would like to get rid of the ethernet cable between game console
and main router and use the wifi interface instead
I can browse the net if the interfaces are not bridge but Samba file
sharing and online gaming are not working.
----------
I notice that in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-broadcom
there is this line that as no equivalent in wireless-atheros.
# get interface name if bridged
brctl show 2>&- | grep "$IFACE" >&- 2>&- && ifname=br0
