The following reply was made to PR kern/117227; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Andrew Thompson <thompsa@FreeBSD.org> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, joe@tao.org.uk Cc: Subject: Re: kern/117227: [iwi] iwi0 wireless interface doesn't work with bridge. Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2007 09:14:07 +1300 Hi, > I'm trying to get a bridge working between an em0 wired ethernet > interface, and an iwi0 wireless. You can only bridge wireless interfaces in hostap mode. The access point only registers the mac address of the wireless card itself so if you send Ethernet frames from other devices behind it the frame will not come back. There is a 4-address wireless frame format for this situation but FreeBSD does not support it yet. cheers, Andrew
