Hello,

I'ma running Slackware Current. I Just started linux a week ago all is goiiing well. although we all know Thanks to Broadcom we have to use Ndiswrapper. all good thats how i be online right now. I had a thought though. Maby ima looking at this all wrong but, first my lspci

wow that was long i cut it a bit

ok my question is in Winblows You can bridge your lan card with your wlan card.

Is there a way to bridge the ndiswrapper (wlan0) with my eth0? (with just this laptop)

I got the Latitude 110L with the BCN4306 wifh is the dell wireless 1350
(A paper weight as far my concern, I'd say not to purchase one if Your paying for it out of pocket, My 5 months with it have been sucky)

As you may already know, Windoze programmers know less about networking than my old grand-mother. That said, the "bridge" term is wrong, as it doesn't "bridge" interface but does Natting over it.
Bridge is usually used to "tie" 2 interfaces together so they are bound to the same ip/network. You usually use this when 2 interfaces listen on the same network.
Nat is a way to "translate" ip adress to an interfaces to another,in other way to "transfert" connection from an interface to another, like a router does. If you want to share your "eth0" internet connection to your "wlan0" this is probably what you want.


Search a bit about NAT and Masquerading on this forum or on google, there is tons of howto about it, it's really simple to do so (easier than bridging in anyways). Feel free to ask if you have any question

Thanks


ill take a look into that. it's helpful to know what ima looking for. I'll let ya know how i do
