Support for bridging? #194
Comments
Hi @sateuwdie
I have not seen problems with this driver and bridging but my AP guide is likely doing things differently than you are. This Main Menu for this site is: https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi Menu item 9 is the AP guide. It might give you some ideas. I have tested many ways to set up an AP over the years. The guide uses systemd-networkd. If Slackware uses systemd-networks, that may be an option for you. IT would help me understand if you could start the story from the beginning and tell me what you are trying to accomplish.
If setting up an AP, if the distro has NM active, it is the first thing I deactivate.
I'm pretty sure these Realtek out-of-kernel drivers do not support 4addr but I would have to take a look.
It is not clear to me why you would execute the commands on the client.
I haven't used this tool for years. It is not clear to me why it would be needed but then I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do. |
Hi, I need a bridge on client because I use virtual machines, I also know is possible to route to wlan0 the vm's network interfaces, but I prefer bridge (I can use the same ip network on vm and host). |
The command brctl addif fail on client
nmcli command also fail with timeout on client
The iw command to "enable" the wlan1 as slave fail on client
Searching on net I found this option for hostapd
I have enabled it, restart hostapd and...nothing change.
Fast question: is possible to add support for bridging?
Some info:
All the commands fail on a wifi client, the bridging in server hostapd works
The Linux distro used on server and client is Slackware 15.0 both on kernel 6.6.2, both using this wifi adapter
The most important thing: problems are only on client, not hostapd
