Excerpts from Olivier Cochard-Labbé's message from Wed 23-Dec-15 11:31: > If wlan0 interface is member of a bridge, FreeBSD didn't reach to > forward-back packets to wireless client > > My setup is this one: > > internet gateway <--> [net0] fbsd router [net1 + wifi-hostap in bridge0] > <--> wireless client > > and the problem description: > - wireless clients didn't receive any packet back: the fbsd-router blocks > answers because it thinks wireless clients are "unreachable". > - But wireless clients can reach all IP of the fbsd-router hitself without > problem, and fbsd-router can ping them too. > - Ethernet clients connected to the same bridge0 didn't have problem I believe this is related to the fact that wifi adapter cannot have more that one MAC address.
