Thanks for the help Gerhard. I have been able to get the network working using routing tables and enabling ip_forward. The network consists of a PC, access point, gumstix, and wired device connected to the Gumstix. However, I would like to get Linux bridging working as the routing table method is not transparent. Here are some updates. I tried this with different versions of the Linux kernel. With 2.6.24, the Wi-Fi drivers do not seem to work, because the wireless interface never comes up. I tried removing each of the smc91x.ko and smc911x.ko drivers separately, but this did not help. I tried to build the 2.6.22 kernel, but could not get this version to build. At this point, I believe this is a kernel or bridge-utils problem (at least for kernel versions 2.6.xx). Does anyone know if or when updates to this package or kernel may be available for the Gumstix. Is it possible to use a 2.4.xx kernel on this Gumstix board? Does anyone have suggestions?
