Carlo, I presume you also setting up bridging between eth1 and ath0 as per http://www.linux.com/feature/55617 (and NOT to eth0)
I would assume then you should have an IP address configured on device br0, and this is also the interface ARP entries of your clients appear (view with arp -a) If this is not the case we might need more info (not having played with Linux bridging for a while) Regards, Martin On Tue, Mar 4, 2008 at 1:52 PM, Carlo Sogono <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have built my own wireless AP with Ubuntu 7.10 and an Atheros-based > wireless card.
