Anomie: I'm using Arch linux, with kernel 2.6.35-ARCH. I don't really know what a subnet is, but, if it's a client, about 10 clients should be able to connect.

And if I may be so bold: why in the world would you not just route between the two subnets, and manage access control at the IP level?

I don't know alot about servers. Could you please explain that? I don't really understand that one...
[EDIT]
Ad-hoc
is a possibility. I've tried it, and my cellphone sees it just like a normal WAN.
To create an ad-hoc network, with bridge to eth0, I used this:
Quote:
#!/bin/sh
if [[ $1 == 'start' ]]; then
ip link set down dev wlan0
iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
iwconfig wlan0 channel 3
iwconfig wlan0 essid adhoc-net key s ass
ip link set up dev wlan0
ip addr add 192.168.0.50/24 dev wlan0
/etc/rc.d/dnsmasq start
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
elif [[ $1 == 'stop' ]]; then
iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
/etc/rc.d/dnsmasq stop
ip addr del 192.168.0.50/24 dev wlan0
ip link set down dev wlan0
iwconfig wlan0 essid off
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
fi
|
Now, to bridge wlan0(ad-hoc) to wlan1, instead of to eth0, can I just change "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE" to "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan1 -j MASQUERADE"?
Thanks!
