Public bug reported:
I'm trying to build a router with ubuntu server 24.04, using a device
with some ethernets and a wifi, putting some ethernets and the wifi into
one bridge.
But I currently don't see how to make networkd do this.
Example config (that doesn't work):
/etc/netplan/60-bridge-lan.yaml
network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
enp4s0:
dhcp4: no
enp5s0:
dhcp4: no
wifis:
wlp1s0:
dhcp4: no
access-points:
"hurra":
mode: ap
password: something
bridges:
lan:
dhcp4: no
addresses:
- "192.168.122.1/24"
- "fdfc:1234:5678:1234::1/24"
interfaces:
- enp4s0
- enp5s0
- wlp1s0
doesn't work:
ERROR: wlp1s0: hurra: networkd does not support this wifi mode
removing the wifis section, running the wifi with hostapd, and just list it as
regular ethernet, as many howtos out there recommend, like
ethernets:
enp4s0:
dhcp4: no
enp5s0:
dhcp4: no
wlp1s0:
dhcp4: no
doesn't work either. Error message
2025-04-11T14:11:29.023613+00:00 mini20 systemd-networkd[1281]: wlp1s0:
Failed to set master interface: Device does not allow enslaving to a
bridge. Operation not supported
which is clearly wrong, since a manual
brctl addif lan wlp1s0
works properly
and removing it from netplan, just listing it in the bridge member list
results in
# networkctl
IDX LINK TYPE OPERATIONAL SETUP
1 lo loopback carrier unmanaged
2 enp3s0 ether routable configured
3 enp4s0 ether enslaved configured
4 enp5s0 ether no-carrier configured
5 enp6s0 ether off unmanaged
6 wlp1s0 wlan degraded unmanaged
7 lan bridge routable configured
man pages systemd.netdev and systemd.network don't help either.
So how is this supposed to work? Just errecting a wifi access point and
attaching it to a bridge with systemd tools/ubuntu server?
