Well, currently, you can't bridge rl0 and ath0. If I understood correctly, you want to make the printers available to others computers living on the wifi net, right? 1) Isn't plain IP forwarding enough? You can add a static route to the AP and it will redirect every request for the ethernet_segment to your FreeBSD box, which will forward them to the printers, etc. 2) You can use 1:1 NAT to map each IP address attached to rl0 ethernet segment to another IP on the wifi Is this helping?

Unless you have 506 devices on those networks, consider using lagg(4). It has a warning for WPA, but since you use WEP, it should theoretically work. Now if it would work with WPA and ap mode on any 802.11 device, we can finally have 'real wireless routers'. ;) -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Two things though: 1) I am not sure if it complains about it as it does above ifconfig: BRDGADD ath0: Invalid argument 2) I do not undestand why it complains about rl0.
