I also tried freebsd-questions but nobody seemed to know = there. What I want to do is setup a bridge between my wireless network and a = wired one. Hostap I hear everyone cry but I don't think that will work = because I don't want to create a wireless network - I want to join an = existing one because this box won't be turned on all the time. I also = need the bridging desktop to have a DHCP acquired IP because it want to = have internet access (I mainly use it for Scala dev). Essentially, the network looks like this: [Internet Router w/ DHCP] -----wired--[Switch] ---wired---[Airport = Express]******wireless******[Desktop = w/Freebsd9]-------wired-----[ReadyNAS] What I want to do is have the freebsd (dual boot wi/ Windows) desktop = bridge to the readyNAS when it's turned on via the wireless LAN so that = I can access files on it. Unfortunately I can't connect the readyNAS to = the switch because the switch is in the living room and the readyNAS is = too noisy. When the desktop is running Windows 7 this is dead easy, but = I can't figure out how to do it under FreeBSD. Any ideas?
