Bridging (i.e. brctl and friends) can only be used to connect two networks that use the same layer 2 protocol. Ethernet and 802.11a/b/g do not use the same layer 2 protocol. I believe at the very least you'll need to use an "ARP Proxy", and you may be better off just routing traffic. I *think* we have the reverse working: [laptops] <-> wlan0 [OpenWRT AP] eth0 <-> [AT&T Router], but I didn't set that up, so we might be having the AP run a dhcp daemon and route traffic. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
