Hi Davide,
This is easy:
In /etc/network/interfaces (br0 request IP from dhcp):
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0 wlan0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.wlan0.conf
In /etc/hostapd/hostapd.wlan0.conf, make sure you have line:
bridge=br0

Hi,
I'm having some troubles configuring an access point and bridging the wifi to
the ethernet.
The AP is inside a LAN network and gets the ethernet IP from the DHCP server.
At the same time it has a static wifi network to manage.
I'm facing two main problems:
1) when I bring up the wifi interface (wlan0) the machine cannot reach internet
anymore.
2) when I bring up the bridge interface (br0) the eth0 get confused with the
DHCP server and is not reachable anymore. From netstat I can see that the
default gateway becomes the br0 gateway for the eth0 interface and the wlan0
loses the ip.
I think that I should add some route telling to the wlan0 how to use the br0 to
get the eth0 and the other way around but I cannot figure it out. I'm a bit
confused regarding the bridge interface usage. In witch subnet it supposed to
be? does it has to be in a separated one? I'm googoling but I haven't get it
yet.
Please, can you have a look to my /etc/network/interfaces below?
Many thanks
Davide
