NetBSD Wifi > LAN question

joany

I am trying to make this happend.
That i can have a LAN <> WiFI <> WiFi <> LAN connection using my old RasberryPI running NetBSD
Hardware side iam very satified, got som excellent pointers on the chat.
But the software side and funkonality is not making any sence for me

So how do i aproach this?
As long as computer 1 and computer 2 can freely comunicate and both can reach internet through the router i am happy

joany The switches and the WiFi-AP will be transparent to TCP/IP traffic, so if the machines are all on the same network, you could theoretically bridge the 2 LAN segments together at the NetBSD machine; but... bridging between WiFi and LAN might be messy (or impossible--on NetBSD; better ask on the lists.) [1][2].

If the wired machines are on 2 separate networks, then the NetBSD machine'll have to be a router (and run NAT).

Ok, i was throwing out the question here since you ppl are awesome, i can ask in the mailing list too.

It totaly works with OpenWrt and its version of relayd

Also i found on the Debian side ppl where using hostap to connect to an AP and then hostap whould join the bridge of the ethernet card

I have now working that the lans switch1 and 2 can se eachother

I used routing for this (config on router and config on NetBSD) and ipv4 forwarding set to 1
No firewall running

Only thing iam missing is that the lan side on switch2 has no internet
I think i need to looking into the NAT rules on my router/firewall

thank you

After some fixing imanage to get it to work!
Just some routing was needed.

Thanks for your pointers
