Interesting. I was just about to try this when your response came in, (OpenBSD Manual 6.9 "A bridge acting as a DHCP server") but since athn0 does not come up unless I assign a network to it, I doubt that only assigning an IP to vether0 will do the trick. "Does not come up" is not exactly true. The interface comes up but it does not switch on the transmitter - no WiFi signal. I realise that the Atheros drivers still seem to be quite finniky - at least in hostap mode, or is this hardwired into the card? Anybody out there who did this? I can't imagine that this setup is so rare; at least every cheap consumer-grade router does this. Thanks Giancarlo! All the best Eike
