Greetings all, I have two NICs on my laptop: eth0 and wlan0, I tried to bridge them and use a ad-hoc connection with my cellphone to share the internet connection, everythings seems OK, but if you tried to ping the cellphone from the laptop, ARP requests will not get any answer:
# ifconfig br0 br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:d3:f5:85:9f inet addr:192.168.10.1 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5729 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7999 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:3693622 (3.5 MiB) TX bytes:1154223 (1.1 MiB) # brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.0016d3f5859f no eth0 wlan0 tcpdump will show the ARP request message again and again, this behavior is different from MS Windows bridging. Could anyone tell me why? Deephay -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
