Hi Davide,
If you want it bridged, your bridge interface has to be ipv6. So you
need to change br0 instead of wlan0.

Thanks Punky,
In this way, both the eth0 and the wlan0 are getting the IP address from the
same DHCP, isn't it.
Your solution works perfectly on IPv4.
The problem is that I need to assign to the wlan0 both an IPv4 and IPv6 address
because the wifi has to work on IPv6.
When I add the following to the /etc/network/interfaces the br0 doesn't get an
IPv4 anymore:
iface wlan0 inet6 static
address fec0::1:1
netmask 64
Any suggestion?
Cheers
Davide

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
