Situation:
Have setup a Gentoo 1.4_rc4 server with bridging enabled in the kernel. I have gotten configured both my prism2 wireless card and eepro100. I have setup the bridge and it is functional. In fact, I am on my windows XP box typing this in with only the wireless connection functional on the XP box.

Configuration:
eth0 0.0.0.0 eepro100
wlan0 0.0.0.0 hostap_cs (prism2)
br0 192.168.0.22
default gw 192.168.0.1 (router)
internal network wired and wireless is 192.168.0.x netmask 255.255.255.0

Questions:
1) How do I get the bridge configuration to be enabled on boot, so that I have this current functionality for my wireless network?

2) I am behind a D-Link cable/dsl router that serves my DHCP. How do I get DHCP service on my wireless network?

3) Why can the server not surf the Internet, even with gateway set in the /etc/conf.d/net file as gateway="eth0/192.168.0.1"?

Help would be appreciated. I do not want to do IPChains/IPTables if I can help it. That may be down the line, but not now.

Figured out 1 and 3

1) Create a local startup script and add to default ftp://mpsii.dyndns.org/bridge

3) Add the following line after configuring the bridge:
Code:
sbin/route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1 br0
