I haven't tried WISP yet, but I have totally tried the standard briding route to death. I've done the brctl bridge-build a gazillion times. Everything comes up ok, but the segments don't talk.
brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 eth1 pump -i br0 Both sides of the bridge can ping and communicate with the ip on br0, but they can't see things on the far side of the bridge. tcpdump shows some strange stuff happening with ARP, but I can't seem to figure out what might be wrong. Also, dhcp works across the bridge. A client on one side of the bridge can get an IP from a dhcp server on the far side. I think that the ARP problem is screwing everything up. Incidentally, I have proven that if I pull out the wireless nic and replace it with a wired nic, the bridging works perfectly with no change to the interface definitions. Hence the frustration.
