BTW: Is it possible to bridge 2 WiFi interfaces (ath0, iwn0)? The ath0
interface is in hostap mode and should listen for dhcp requests. iwn0 is
connected to the internet and should provide Internet access to the
clients connected to ath0.

I haven't test it yet but I suppose at least following steps are necessary:

$ ifconfig bridge0 create
$ brconfig bridge0 add ath0 add iwn0 up
...

Does IP forwarding have to be activated?


Best regards,

Victor
