-ken Thanks Ken for the hint! I reckon that assigning IP addresses to both interfaces in the same network is not the correct approach. I tried your hint and at least the ALIX 2d13 is routing again. Just for the record: athn0 is the interface to assign the IP address. Otherwise it gets status "no network" and will not come up. # cat /etc/hostname.athn0 inet 192.168.12.1 255.255.255.128 chan 108 mediaopt hostap nwid mywlanid wpakey somelongkey # cat /etc/hostname.vr1 up media autoselect # cat /etc/hostname.bridge0 add athn0 add vr1 up **************** And for the record again because somebody else had problems with this card: I can now connect via WiFi with my MACbook-Air on 5GHz (channel 108) but my Samsung Galaxy3 does not want to connect although it sees the network and the field strength is -39dBm @ 5540MHz. Trying the same on channel 6 results in nothing but a timeout error on both the MAC and the Samsung phone. No idea if this is due to the Compex card, the athn driver or the Samsung phone. **************** On Sat, Jan 25, 2014 at 10:46 AM, Eike Lantzsch <zp6...@gmx.net> wrote: I'm using 5.4 stable on an ALIX 2D13 with Compex WLM200NX My internal network is 192.168.12.0/24 My ISP gives me 181.40.100.8 nm 255.255.255.0 gw 181.40.100.1 via DHCP with reserved IP address. This is on vr0 No problems here. I wanted to set up two internal networks on vr1: 192.168.12.0/25 and on vr2: 192.168.12.128/25 athn0 is also supposed to be on 192.168.12.0/25 The intended /etc/hostname.athn0 is: inet 192.168.12.2 255.255.255.128 /etc/hostname.vr0 dhcp /etc/hostname.vr1 inet 192.168.12.1 255.255.255.128 /etc/hostname.vr2 inet 192.168.12.129 255.255.255.128 The weirdness is as follows: according to ifconfig all interfaces are active BUT athn0 does not want to be on the same subnet with vr1 I cannot ping the internal IP 192.168.12.1 as long as athn0 is on 192.168.12.2 or any other address up to 192.168.12.126 that is in the subnet 192.168.12.128/25. I have to change athn0 to the other subnet with /etc/hostname.athn0 inet 192.168.12.130 255.255.255.128 In this case I can ping 192.168.12.1 and 192.168.12.130 (ping from inside the ALIX that is) [rest snipped for brevity]
