[Voyage-linux] Bridging problem with 0.6.2

[Edwin Whitelaw]

Re an earlier post regarding bridging - I have configured to route and 
the client connects and accesses the 'net just fine so it appears there 
really is a problem when in bridging mode or I've left something out.  
The only difference between the two are the interfaces files.

-----routing mode---------this works-----
# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
       address 192.168.10.77
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       network 192.168.10.0
       broadcast 192.168.10.255
       gateway 192.168.10.254

auto ath0
iface ath0 inet static
       address 192.168.11.1
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       network 192.168.11.0
       broadcast 192.168.11.255
       madwifi-base wifi0
       wireless-mode master
       wireless-essid test
       wireless-channel 11
       wireless-key s:XXXXXXXXXXXX
       iwpriv ath0 mode 11g
      post-down wlanconfig ath0 destroy


-------interfaces routing-----------

--------interfaces bridging----does not work---
# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto br0
iface br0 inet static
       address 192.168.10.77
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       network 192.168.10.0
       broadcast 192.168.10.255
       gateway 192.168.10.254
       bridge_ports eth0 ath0
       pre-up wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
       pre-up iwconfig ath0 essid "ap1" channel 11
       up iwconfig ath0 key s:XXXXXXXXXXXXX
       up athctrl -i wifi0 -d 9600
       up iwpriv ath0 mode 3
      post-down wlanconfig ath0 destroy


----interfaces bridging--------

The bridging interfaces file works under 0.5.2.
I've tried with and w/o encryption.

I've installed the madwifi modules per Punky's suggestion.

ldridgev6:/etc/network# dpkg -l | grep madwifi
ii  madwifi-modules-2.6.26-486-voyage  1:0.9.4~rc2-1+6.0-3


Anyone have success where I've not?  Any suggestions?

TIA,

Edwin
