Ethernet/Wireless bridge, sharing internet with others

[seqizz]

Hi, i've a laptop with an ethernet and one wireless card. i'm using ethernet for connecting to internet, and want to share the internet the other computers over wireless lan. i've reconfigured the kernel for ethernet bridging. Actually used this article to create a bridge http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Bridging_Network_Interfaces . but after i've created the bridge, i can't connect to the internet anymore and i don't think i've created a wireless lan, because the other computers can't dedect any wireless lan.
I think i need some help about hostapd configuration.. Is there any full guide about this? BTW wireless driver is intel 4965agn..

You definitely have to provide some access point functionality to be able to serve wireless connections
from other hosts...I don't have any experiences with setting up a machine as access point,
but hostapd seems to be the right program for do such things...

I am not sure if you really need a bridge to get this to work...
You could just create a route from one net to the other...
And provide the eth adapter connected to the internet as default gateway for your wlan connections....

Maybe this helps...


best regards
