This is my setup:
A -- [tap0 B iwi0] ~~ wireless ~~ AP -- C -( internet )
A is a qemu VM running on host B (but I see similar behavior
when a wired interface connects a laptop to B instead of VM
and tap0). I'd like to make B act as a bridge so I did this:
ifconfig bridge0 create
ifconfig bridge0 addm tap0 addm iwi0 up
<edit rc.conf so that it has ifconfig_iwi0="WPA">
/etc/rc.d/netif restart iwi0
ifconfig bridge0 <iwi0's old ip address>
I do see traffic from other machines such as C coming in on
iwi0 and going out on tap0 (as it should). But C does not
see any pkts from B. So I did this:
ifconfig bridge0 ether <iwi0's mac address>
Now B is once again happily exchanging pkts with C. When A
sends out dhcp requests they go out iwi0 but nothing comes
back and C does not see the original dhcp requests.
Am I correct in thinking this has to do with the WPA mode?
May be the interface mac address is used in some way or is
the AP (Linksys WRT54GS) doing something? I am using WPA-PSK
and running -current of two days ago.
Also, when I ping B from C, this works fine but I see some
funny things on the tap0 interface. An icmp echo request
turns into the following!
01:22:36.688601 IP truncated-ip - 7096 bytes missing! 190.2.179.15 > 122.160.138.29: ip-proto-205

...
Is there any way to make this work (bridged packets going out
on a WPA protected wireless link)? I can use NAT and a local
dhcpd on B and avoid bridging but NAT and NFS don't get along
(that is, I can't mount C's filesystem on A).
Thanks!
