So first you read the ethernet bridging howto, then you come back to the
list with any specific questions if you can't get it working. . . Since you
seem to have had trouble finding it you can look at (one of many online
copies of) the howto at
HTTP://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/BRIDGE-STP-HOWTO/index.html

For wireless connectivity I would also strongly recommend the ipchains
patch for the bridging code, so you can do MAC matching on "known" wireless
devices and avoid giving folks out on the street full access to your
intranet (not without some effort anyway, it's pretty well impossible to
stop spoofing on a wireless network).
