An AP will only send traffic destined for STAtions which have associated with it, so the bridge will not work! You *can* use a WDS, which is basically a point to point bridge between 2 wireless devices. I don't know if you can set this up with ndiswrapper though. I imagine not, as it is normally a function of an access point. Tim |
