wireless-wired bridge on debian squeeze
I'm trying to set up a wireless->wired bridge under debian (powerpc release on a powerbook g4 if that relevant) so I can share the wifi connection on my laptop over ethernet with my desktop.
I've installed bridge-utils and ebtables and I have been reading http://wiki.debian.org/BridgeNetworkConnections. So I have configured it like this: Code:
$ cat /etc/network/interfaces Code:
$ cat ebt_rules.sh so now with this all set up I do "ifup br0", but it fails to get an IP address and just dhcp listens until it times out. Can anyone see what I've done wrong? |
You've gotten that far?
I've been trying to accomplish the same thing. Using a samsung n150 w/ Debian Squeeze 6.0.3 (laptop w/ wireless card) and an old dell p.o.s. failurebox (desktop with a confirmed working ethernet card).
Followed the instructions in the Debian wiki to the letter, but didn't even get as far as trying to assign an IP. It seems like, as soon as I "ifup br0," it shuts down my wlan0. the ethernet side of things still seems to work, ifconfig shows packet transfer both ways, but.. I'll try again and post more later, interfaces file contents and whatnot, (just got called into work) but I don't see anything wrong with bumping this thread in the mean time. I've read a lot of other posts where people have gotten this system working, and a few saying that it just can't be done, so, who knows? Thanks to anyone who's read this for the time it took to do so =P ~HR |
If 192.168.1.50 and 00:22:15:74:cc:7d are the addresses of your desktop I would expect that to work for IPv4, however you have broken IPv6.
You could block IP6 entirely, but that is not future proof. |
