Hi list,
When setting up a wireless bridge to connect two ethernet segments in
OpenBSD3.7 I encounter the following problem:
When sending a ping from one ethernet segment to the other the ARP
request gets transmitted over my WLAN. The counterpart on the
wireless bridge setup sends the ARP response request on the WLAN as
well. However, the ARP response never reaches the wireless interface
on the source bridge (at least checking with tcpdump) and the ping
fails.
Here is my setup:
<192.168.1.1-testbox1> --ethernet-- <sis0:wi0-bridge1> -- wifi --
<wi0:sis0-bridge2> --ethernet-- <192.168.1.2-testbox2>
All boxes run OpenBSD3.7 GENERIC kernel.
I am using two PRISM2.5 ISL3874A(Mini-PCI) cards with the wi driver.
bridge0 is in hostap mode (Port type 6), bridge1 in BSS mode (Port
type 1).
Both bridge boxes have net.inet.etherip.allow=1 and
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
pfctl is disabled.
I somehow have the feeling that I am conceptually wrong here. Any
help on this or a similar setup would be great.
Thanks alot,
Robert
