Sorry, I'm late to the party. Just got back from vacationing. There is a distinct possibility that bridging a wi-fi with an ethernet interface may not work. It has to do with the wi-fi driver/device not repeating a packet with a source MAC address different than the one programmed into the hardware.
I once tried to create an arp router once using a wi-fi card. The card didn't complain, but instead dropped the packet silently. (Yay!) NAT routing using IPtables is definitely another way to go. --R On Tue, 2008-07-15 at 00:02 -0400, Vern Ceder wrote: > Yeah, bridge-utils is what you need.
