wlan0 + eth0 = br0

12-13-2008, 04:04 PM

Hello List,

on my Lenny laptop I am trying to build a bridge grouping together the wireless and the wired cards:
I encounter the classical issue

(wlan0|eth0): received packet with own address as source address

I have googled to find a fix, but so far I have found nothing.

My feeling is that ebtables can be used to fix it, but I am lost.

Any suggestion or idea is welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Jerome

Hi!

is this even possible? I think I once tried it and found out that its
not possible because wlans don't use arp or something like that.

Yeah, that's an issue, but there's an arp-proxy in some package that can solve
that, IIRC.

My best guess is to make sure STP is turned on for the bridge, but that's it.

Thanks for the replies:
I have tried with STP on, but I got the same.

Is there any good on a laptop to manage together the wlan0 and the eth0 cards ?

Thanks in advance,
Jerome
