My network topology is:
AP- - - - - - PC(wlan0, eth0)----------Notebook
AP: 10.0.0.1
PC wlan0: 0.0.0.0
PC eth0: 0.0.0.0
Notebook: 10.0.0.3
Where - - - indicates wireless connection and ------ wired connection
The PC is configured with hostap 0.0.4 in managed mode
So I want to ping from the Notebook to the AP, I tried to setup a bridge
on the PC like this
brctl addbr br0
ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
brctl addif br0 wlan0
brctl addif br0 eth0
ifconfig br0 10.0.0.200
but I can not ping the AP (10.0.0.1) from the notebook
Is this because when I add the wlan0 interface to the bridge, the
managed mode does not work?
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
