I configured it as an access point. I read many posts on that topic and I am confused whether I need to bridge the wireless network to the wired network or just let the FreeBSD gateway to manage that. So far, I can connect from a wireless client to the FreeBSD Access Point (I can ping any machines on the wired network) but I cannot go beyond that and I would be very pleased if someone would explain what to do in terms of ipfilter NAT or routing to access the Internet from a wireless client. I have 3 network cards: ath0 (wireless - 10.0.2.0/24), bge0 (wired- 10.0.0.0/24), bce0 (Internet - DHCP). The wired network is behind an ipfilter firewall (10.0.0.1) and wired computers are NATed. Thanks for any hints! - Regis -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/wireless-nic---access-point-tp21437407p21437407.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
