wds forwarding_routing problems

[michael schatz]

I'm having difficulties with setting up routing and
forwarding between two
access points (old pentium boxes each using RedHat
9each using hostAP/WDS)
  My basic setup is:



<wired net A  192.168.0.X>--eth0 (192.168.0.7): AP-A :
wlan0 -- <wireless net A>
 (net A is connected                             |
to the internet)                                 |
                                                WDS
                                                 |
                                                AP-B
:wlan0---<Wireless net B>


I want to get all machines on Wireless net B to ping
and to access the wired net A
and the internet (all machines on wireless net A
access the internet
by means of masquerading via iptables).  at present, i
can ping between AP-B and 
AP-A---AP-B cannot ping any other machine across the
WDS link.  my configuration for the 
static
link between AP-A and AP-B was copied straight from 

http://www.sown.org.uk/index.php/Linking

namely,


AP-A configuration:

iwpriv wlan0 wds_add <MAC add of wlan0 on AP-B>
ip addr add 192.168.1.254/30 broadcast 192.168.1.255
dev wlan0wds0
ip link set wlan0wds0 up

AP-B configuration:

iwpriv wlan0 wds_add <MAC address of wlan0 on AP-A>
ip addr add 10.13.7.253/30 broadcast 192.168.1.255 dev
wlan0wds0
ip link set wlan0wds0 up


i've tried fiddling with using bridging (using the
bridge utils) and with
iptables, but have had no success.  i would really
appreciate it if anyone could
give me some pointer on how to do the
forwarding/routing properly.
