gimp Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 I am looking to bridge the connected wifi to the ethernet connection, am sure this just needs some command line foo.... anybody point me in the correct direction? P.S Merry christmas... Quote
gimp Posted December 24, 2013 Author Posted December 24, 2013 Its ok..... found the ans client mode :) Quote
mw3demo Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) The command brctl show shows all current instances of the ethernet bridge. The command brctl addif <brname> <ifname> will make the interface <ifname> a port of the bridge <brname>. This means that all frames received on <ifname> will be processed as if destined for the bridge. Also, when sending frames on <brname>, <ifname> will be considered as a potential output interface. The command brctl delif <brname> <ifname> will detach the interface <ifname> from the bridge <brname>. Just adding this for future reference, Mr Protocol posted it in a previous thread with a similar thing. Client mode is easier as you have found out. :) Edited December 24, 2013 by mw3demo Quote
