I have = successfully recompiled the kernel with support for atheros based = wireless cards. I have also been able to setup the card into access = point "Hostap" mode correctly. I have tried the bridging recommend in = the FreeBSD wireless setup at = http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireles= s.html but was unsuccessful. I have configured the wireless adapter with = it's own subnet of ip's one for the actual box and the rest client ip''. = The subnet is not the same as the one on the wireless adapter. When I = enable bridge mode as dicussed in the link above, I can ping the ip = allocated to the ethernet adapter and the one allocated to the wireless = adapter when wirelessly connected to the freebsd box, but when the = bridging is disabled I can only ping the ip assigned to the wireless = adapter in the machine when wirelessly connected. When I ssh to the box = either with bridging on or off to the wireless ip on the machine I can = ping google.com and other common web sites. I need help trying to route = the adapted and client ip's to the internet. Dan
