Hi!
I have some problems with an bridge between wlan0 and eth0 device...
It works and I can from both sides ping the router with the bridge device but
I cant ping the devices from other net so I cant ping wlan devs from eth net
and other way around
the wlan card is an atmel usbw11 from linksys and eth is a intel e100
10/100mbit nic
I have configured the bridge according to the how to and dont see any errors
in kern.log or somewhere else....
What is wrong?
PS: sorry for my english but I hope you can understand what I mean
[Bridge] bridge wlan-eth

You'll have two problems:
1. The e100 is said to have a problem with bridging, depending on the
driver you use.
2. You need to have your wlan device working in a special mode, which is
not available to the atmel-chipsets afaik. This mode is known under many
names, such as "Host-AP", "Master-Mode", "AP-Mode" and others. Without
this mode, you won't be able to bridge between wlan and lan. The only
way to work around this problem then would be to use proxy arp - afair
there is a daemon available that cares about the wlan-lan situation in
context to proxy arp. You should find it when searching freshmeat.net
with "proxy arp" or thelike.
