Package: wiki.debian.org Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
I visited https://wiki.debian.org/BridgeNetworkConnections and read an example: pre-up iwconfig wlan0 essid $YOUR_ESSID bridge_hw $MAC_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_WIRELESS_CARD but this does not work (for me on 1 host tested only). After spending quite some time on troubleshooting I think it should be pre-up iwconfig wlan0 essid $YOUR_ESSID bridge_hw $DEVICE_NAME_OF_YOUR_WIRELESS_CARD or better simply: pre-up iwconfig wlan0 essid $YOUR_ESSID hwaddress $MAC_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_WIRELESS_CARD (bridge_hw seems to expect an interface name). Unfortunately I did not find the right man page or definition to be sure (man interfaces does not meantion any of bridge_hw or hwaddress). It's Debian 11. As I now spent too much time on that (assuming a problem with DHCP server) I would like to help others by reporting this in the hope some expert could take a look. Best regards, Steffen
