Hi all,

Apologies if this has come up before but I can't see anything with a quick 
google.

What I want to do is setup a bridge between my wireless network and a wired 
one. Hostap I hear everyone cry but I don't think that will work because I 
don't want to create a wireless network  - I want to join an existing one 
because this box won't be turned on all the time. I also need the bridging 
desktop to have a DHCP acquired IP because it want to have internet access (I 
mainly use it for Scala dev).

Essentially, the network looks like this:

[Internet Router w/ DHCP] -----wired--[Switch] ---wired---[Airport 
Express]******wireless******[Desktop w/Freebsd9]-------wired-----[ReadyNAS]

What I want to do is have the freebsd (dual boot wi/ Windows) desktop bridge to 
the readyNAS when it's turned on via the wireless LAN so that I can access 
files on it. Unfortunately I can't connect the readyNAS to the switch because 
the switch is in the living room and the readyNAS is too noisy. When the 
desktop is running Windows 7 this is dead easy, but I can't figure out how to 
do it under FreeBSD.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mark
