Re: [Madwifi-users] Bridging and routing

[Paul v. G. <pau...@ri...>]

Tom,

for my bridging tests, I was using:

- A 2.4.20 kernel.
- DWL-G520 Atheros 5212 PCI card.
- An AMD PCnet32 100Mbit/s Ethernet card
- Latest CVS version of Atheros driver.

I tried using both the adhoc and master mode. Later in the week I'll try a
2.6 kernel to see if that resolves anything.

Thanks.

Paul
