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)
I did not bridge my wifi device with my ethernet as I wanted to separate
the subnets for both networks (for more control). Someone in the Samba
list mentioned that it sounds like an MTU problem. Will play around with
MTU settings when I get home...

I have built my own wireless AP with Ubuntu 7.10 and an Atheros-based
wireless card. My problem is that I can't access any of the Samba
shares
with my wireless clients...they can all search for the server, get
prompted for a login then it just hangs and eventually times out.
The same clients, when using their LAN ports to connect to the same
server are able to do everything. I have experimented with the
smb.conf
file to include the wireless AP's device (ath0), subnet and even
allowing it to bind on all interfaces. During those times, samba
*does*
bind on the device/device's IP when doing 'netstat -tln'.
I have also checked my firewall settings. The rules I have for my
local
LAN on eth1 is identical to ath0 so I don't see a problem there.
In fact
I can do everything on my wireless clients except Samba.
Here are some details of my setup:
Ubuntu 7.10 server
eth0 - ADSL modem; running pppoe
eth1 - local LAN
ath0 - wireless LAN
madwifi drivers for Atheros chips
hostapd to handle WPA2+PSK authentication
iptables for IP filtering
Am I missing something here? Thanks in advance.
