I have an existing AP that I have no control over (assume it doesn't support WDS) sitting on a clinic LAN. I have a second LAN that I need to bridge to the clinic LAN through a client wireless device. I had done this about a year ago using vtun (via an 'ethernet' tunnel), but then I had some control over the AP. thanks, dave c On Mon, Aug 4, 2008 at 12:48 PM, Sam Leffler <sam@freebsd.org> wrote: > David Cornejo wrote: >> >> hi, >> >> i would like to bridge a wireless client to ethernet (in 8-CURRENT) - >> the last bug in the if_bridge man page says this is a no-no. >> >> the question is whether this could be worked around - don't need the >> highest performance, so maybe netgraph or even a userland daemon would >> work. i don't have any ability to do anything at the access point end >> so some of the tunneling protocols are out >> >> any thoughts are appreciated, >> >> > > The man page is out of date; HEAD has WDS support now so you can bridge > traffic that's 4-address encapsulated.
