      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

              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.
