gimp Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Its ok..... found the ans client mode :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw3demo Posted December 24, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
