Hi guys,
I have an OpenBSD router at home and the clients are connected
through a wired interface (fxp0) as well as wireless interface (ral0
running in HostAP mode). Previously, wired network has a different
network then the wireless network, wired network has the address of
192.168.1.0/24 and the wireless network is on 192.168.2.0/24. The
thing is, I've been trying to to put both interfaces in the same
network (192.168.1.0/24). I tried using trunk with roundrobin
between fxp0 and ral0 but it's so slow, and it misses some icmp_seq
when I try to ping other hosts. So I tried bridge the connection
instead. Here's the configuration I have:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~% cat /etc/hostname.fxp0
inet 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 NONE description "Local Network"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~% cat /etc/hostname.ral0
up media autoselect mediaopt hostap mode 11g nwid blowfish -nwkey
chan 3
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~% cat /etc/bridgename.bridge0
add fxp0
add ral0
up
The connection seems to work. Both clients that are connecting from
wired interfaces and wireless interface can get IP address (using
DHCP) with the network address of 192.168.1.0/24. The clients can
ping to the OpenBSD router, and the router can ping to all the
clients. However, pinging to other clients wont work. Can anyone
suggest me what I'm doing wrong? If the bridging works perfectly, any
clients should be able to ping/communicate to other clients right?
Btw I'm running OpenBSD 4.0-current on i386. Also, here's the output
of brconfig:

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
