Bridging wlan0/wlan1

[Peyush Agarwal]

Remove ur configns and do these:
(I assume ur wireless interface is -- wlan0)

# iwpriv wlan0 wds_add <MAC Addrs of the OTHER AP in DS>
# brctl addbr BRDG
# brctl addif BRDG wlan0
# brctl addif BRDG wlan0wds0
# ifconfig wlan0     0.0.0.0 up
# ifconfig wlan0wds0     0.0.0.0 up
# ifconfig BRDG <ip-address>  up

let me know the results.
