Hi
I have a similar problem than the one in this thread:
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/bridge/2009-May/006383.html
and the network is quite similar:
http://inwww.epfl.ch/~becholey/network.jpg (every computer run linux
there are no DHCP, every IP needs to be static)
when I try to ping PC1 from PC2 I can see the ARP "who-has" going to
PC1. PC1 answers, I can see the ARP is at on the bridge (on any
interfaces), but they don't arrive to PC2 => "Destination Host Unreachable"
when I try to ping PC2 from PC1 I can see on the bridge the ARP
"who-has", but they don't arrive to PC2.
From the bridge, I can ping everybody.
In both case I can see the number of packets increasing on the bridge
with ifconfig, there are no drops and no errors..
The use of a bridge is not an option, because I need the same subnet
(10.79.0.0) in the whole network :-/
Do you have an idea why the ARP packets can't be sent in "the air"? Or
do you have a workaround for this?
I hope I provided enough information... Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Alexandre Becholey
PS: here is the configuration of the bridge: (I tried with 2 different
wireless card, one mini-PCI broadcom and a USB dongle ralink)
# brctl addbr br0
# ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 up
# ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up
# iwconfig wlan0 essid my_ssid
# brctl addif br0 wlan0
# brctl addif br0 eth0
# ifconfig br0 10.79.2.2 netmask 255.255.0.0 up
# dmesg
