Valadimir, I have encountered a problem that I hope you can help with. It seems that when layer 3 bridging is disabled, wireless clients cannot connect. It seems as though routing is not being setup correctly.
The hardware is a Soekris 4521, but only one card (netcs0) installed and enabled. Note that 10.0.0.1 is the default gateway and is a linux box directly connected to the Soekris via an ethernet switch. The ip of eth0 is 10.0.0.2. First, with layer 3 bridging enabled, with one device in the bridge (netcs0), and immediately following a boot, "netstat -nr" shows the following: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 40 0 0 eth0 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 40 0 0 eth0 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 40 0 0 netcs0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 eth0 After a wireless client (notebook computer) connects the routing table looks like the following: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 40 0 0 eth0 10.0.5.243 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 40 0 0 netcs0 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 40 0 0 eth0 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 40 0 0 netcs0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 eth0 All is well with the above, the wireless client connects and can surff the net. Now, if I go into config and disable layer 3 bridging, I see the following immediately after boot. Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 40 0 0 eth0 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 40 0 0 netcs0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 eth0 And with the above, wireless clients cannot connect. If I execute the following, the wireless client can connect. ip route add 10.0.0.1/32 dev eth0 ip addr add 10.0.0.1/32 dev eth0 After finding the dhcp assigned address assigned to the wireless client, I can execute something like the following: ip route add 10.0.5.242/32 dev netcs0 and the wireless client can sruff the net. Basically, I have done manually what I beleive Wisp-Dist is intended to do. As best I can tell from looking at the scripts is that parprouted is the only difference when turning layer 3 bridging on and off. The if.config file is below. The only difference between failure and success is setting ENABLE_PARP_BRIDGING="yes". eth0_IPADDR="10.0.0.2/16" br0_IPADDR="10.0.1.3/16" ENABLE_L2_BRIDGING="no" netcs0_IPADDR="10.0.1.3/16" NAT_IFACE="eth0" BR_IFACES="netcs0 " IFACES="eth0 netcs0 " DEFAULT_GW="10.0.0.1 dev eth0" ENABLE_PARP_BRIDGING="no" Sorry for such a long message. Is there any advice, or help you can provide? Ray ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
