Hi Cory, Just to clarify, bridging typically works from a wireless Access Point ie bridging a wirieless access point to an ethernet interface and vice versa that (should) work and is catered for in the 802.11 standard.
however a wireless interface in station / client mode bridged to an ethernet interface requires propietary extensions (and as Stuart has pointed out wont work) if you need a layer 2 Wireless Connection to VMM I would suggest using a an ethernet port in VMM and plug the ethernet port into a propietary wireless Router / Client.. I can give you a steer off list but I dont want to decend into plugging a propietary solution ... I hope this helps Tom Smyth On Mon, 12 Dec 2022 at 22:35, Stuart Henderson <stu.li...@spacehopper.org> wrote: > > On 2022-12-12, c0ry <c0r...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hey folks, > > > > I noticed this line in the VMM FAQ ( > > https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq16.html#VMMnet): > > > > "...the IEEE 802.11 standard prevents wireless interfaces from > > participating in network bridges." > > > > Just wanted to confirm what is meant by this - are we just trying to say > > that WDS isn't part of the standard and isn't supported?
