In my ongoing quest to get my Netgear MA301/401 working,
I just set up bridging.
Bridging, just like routing, works one way. My client can register with the AP. The client can send data over the wireless. These data can be seen by the AP. The AP can forward these to eth0.
tcpdump on br0 shows the arp response packets from a machine on eth0. And ifconfig on wlan0 tells me the packets has been sent. Yet they never reach my client. What is wrong ? I have plenty of these in syslog:
