      But this way dhcp relay would give them an 192.168.1.X ip from 192.168.1.102 with a gateway on 192.168.1.1. So connectivity will fail.

      Uh, what? Configure a new scope (pool) on the DHCP server for 192.168.4.0/24. Use that scope for the WLAN clients. It works perfectly fine with the AD DHCP.

        Yeah, it's a working solution, but i'd prefer having everything on the same subnet.

        But i guess i can use it that way and start from scratch another time.

          You can try from WAN if you don't have a spare NIC handy. From the interfaces that are going to get bridged, it's basically a no go. Reliably ended up cut off everytime I tried. The console needs to grow a bridge creation feature.

            I'll try from wan outside office hours.

            From this setup :
            WAN1 : re1 (DHCP/DHCP6)
            WAN2 : re2 (DHCP/DHCP6)
            LAN : re0 (192.168.1.1/none)
            WLAN : ath0 (192.168.4.1/none)

            I should go to this ?
            WAN1 : re1 (DHCP/DHCP6)
            WAN2 : re2 (DHCP/DHCP6)
            LAN : BRIDGE0 (192.168.1.1/none)
            WLAN : ath0 (none/none)
            Bridge0 : re0

                WLAN : ath0 (none/none)
                Bridge0 : re0

                The bridge should consist of WLAN (ath0) and LAN (re0).
                It won't let you make a bridge with one interface. Make the bridge with LAN and WLAN first, then change LAN to the bridge interface.
                Good luck.

                  I know that :)
                  My question is what to do with the LAN interface which is currently on re0.

                      Problem is, bridge0 can't be set on lan interface since lan is already a member of bridge0.
                      You mean bridge0 on re0?

                        Huh? What? You just told us that re0 is your LAN… See, this is exactly why I told you that you should restart from scratch. (Not to mention how utterly pointless this whole thing is.)

                          pfSense interface named LAN is currently set on re0 port.

                          Ok, i have my answer :

                          http://www.stephenyeong.idv.hk/wp/2010/03/pfsense-wireless-bridge-working/

                          Forgot one step.

                          WAN1 (DHCP/DHCP6) : re1
                          WAN2 (DHCP/DHCP6) : re2
                          LAN (192.168.1.1/none) : BRIDGE0 (OPT1+WLAN)
                          WLAN (none/none) : ath0
                          OPT1 (none/none) : re0

                          Changes made through WAN and now it's working fine :)
                          Thanks.
