Hi, I wanted to make my PC1 as an access point. So I created a bridge between the radio card and the Ethernet card. I connected the PC1 to the LAN. Using a client I was able to reach the LAN. There were the commands I used brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth1 (this is my Ethernet card) brctl addif br0 eth0 (this is my radio card) ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 iwconfig eth0 mode Master ifconfig br0 10.0.3.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add default gw 10.0.3.1 Now I wanted to set up a client PC2, with the prism radio card on this acting as a client to the first PC1. I did the same thing as above, but didn't set the mode to master as by default it is Managed. I see the association, I can get to the network from PC2. BUT the pc's connected to the Ethernet interface of PC2 don't seem to get to the LAN thru wireless. Lets say theres a PC3 behind PC2. PC3 can ping PC2 but not PC1. Is there some thing wrong with the bridge I am setting up for the client side (i.e. PC2 side)? Thanks Pradeep
