Maybe this thread [1] on linux-wireless explains the problem.

Yes, it explains it well. Similar on the hostap mailing list too: "[...] IEEE 802.11 is allowing clients to send out frames only with their own address as the source address so normal layer 2 bridging does not work for data frames [...]". AFAIS one solution seems to be to use WDS on the notebook, second seems to be proxy-arp/proxy-ndp. It looks like, there is no much success using "wpa_supplicant -b" feature, where the wpa_supplicant hooks into the bridge. (In reply to comment #2).
Needless to say, this works nicely, as expected, in Windows XP ;-)
I don't know which wireless specific hacks the the bridge on XP contains. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
