[Madwifi-users] Re: An idea of how to bridge from the other end

[Jeff S. <jef...@ya...>]

I know my openvpn method works but it has limitations.
You have to have a server on the other side. I want to
be able to avoid that problem. And it seams my other
projected solution was ignored.

Is it possable? Can the madwifi driver potentially do
what I mentioned or does it already? is that why the
wifi0 interface exists? apon thinking of a solution to
wireless bridging problem I theories that you would
need a virtual device to translate the requests to
make your virtual wireless devices. IE:
each packet on the bridge, not already comming from
the wireless connection would have to be translated
into the wireless encryption for that virtual wireless
device. This might be a slow and cumbersome solution.
But it would avoid the bridging problems entirely. It
has to be possable but is it practical to modify the
madwifi drivers to do this? To make the madwifi card
look like multiple cards to the AP each with its own
encrypted connection? I also theorize that something
like wpa_supplicant would need to be run on each
virtual wireless device. I realize that there would be
a problem in connecting to different APs because of
frequency issues but maybe wpa_supplicant could just
do the authentication to the same AP as the first
virtual wireless device.

Please I'd like any input on this even negative.
Or is this already in the works and or already
implemented?

Thanks Jeff Sadowski
