Greeting Group! I feel awkward asking, but my synapses are at the point of melting from being overloaded by SERPs and my older notes on subject.
Here's my thing: A DLS modem on a 192.168.1/24 sub-net (and a wifi antenna with very limited range) One (cheap) POWERLINK Outdoor Plus PL-2712N antenna connected via USB to a host (running LM17) 100+ yards away. Wlan0, rt2800 drivers, NM/nmcli (with static IP's, not managed). Also connected to that little host thru eth0 is a DLink router (172.68.0/24) that I want to utilize for wifi (DMZ) access. So, since this is ubuntu-based (trusty), I peered into a looking glass of ICS, ad-hoc, nat'ing and/or bridging using shorewall/iptables, I've explored apps like firestarter and hostap, even 'ubuntu router.tar' (who puts spaces in fnames?) I'm looking for a KISS:) I'm not sure about configuring the DLink, to connect to LAN port for setting then switch to WAN port for use (which is what i did); but apart from that, all i want is a pass-thru from eth0 to/from wlan0. Acting only as a firewall, i don't see a need for ad-hoc'ing or dns/dnsmasq. Any suggestions? P.S. I also have a few 'keep-alive' scripts to deal with wlan0 getting disconnected; from triggering a re-plug of the device to a modprobe [-r] reset of drivers, to a net re-set. Another topic, but udev/udevadmin, fping in cronjob, anybody have a favorite? TIA
