      What is the correct way to setup an access point on 2.0?

      I configured LAN with DHCP, OPT1 on ath0, type as none, then created a bridge between lan and opt1, added a firewall rule to pass everything from lan to opt1 and a second rule to pass everything from opt1 to lan. I can associate but no traffic goes through. not even dhcp. the firewall seem to be blocking traffic. Can anybody help with this?

      Thanks

      Johnny

        You need to allow proto udp port 68 to get in on OPT1 so it can arrive to dhcp server.

          I have same setup, on my wireless interface I set the type to static, then gave it a subnet different from the LAN (i.e. if LAN was 192.198.2.1/24, I set wireless to 10.10.10.1/24).

          Then I went to DHCP, setup scope to hand out in .50 to .100 (or whatever).

          Then I went to rules, created an everything rule identical to the one for LAN to WAN, and it just worked.

          Cheers,
