I have a D-Link DWL-G650 and it uses the Atheros chipset. Currently, I'm using the Madwifi CVS (as of 20040308) module. I enable ethernet bridging, but it doesn't bridge. I'm actually bridging ath0, eth1, and eth2. br0 works as a device that I can route traffic with, but I cannot send traffic from/to any of the internal interfaces (i.e. ath0<->eth1, eth1<->eth2, etc). Did you encounter these problems at all? Also, as I understand it, rules in iptables cannot affect traffic passed via the bridge w/o using ebtables. Is this correct? I just want to rule that out.

Thanks

In fact, after the bridge is up, ican't use ath0 or eth0 directly, all your traffic should pass thought the bridge. You only use an interface br0. So you need to setup routes to feet w/ that.

By default you shouldn't use iptables at all. The setup w/ iptables is complety different, as your eth0 become a masquerading (nat) interface not a bridge. (is it clear ?)

i am very new to all of this. i just installed opensuse on my computer. as far as chip set goes, i have an intel celeron chipset. i have a netgear card, wg311, and of course want it to work on my system. let me get this right ...

i have to have a certain chipset to do all of this ? intel wont cut it ? and also, i cant just download the driver, burn it on a disk and then put it on my other computer, thats running opensus, then put the netgear cd in and install ?
