Hi guys,
I have a Linksys WUSB11 v2.8 802.11 USB wireless adapter on a fresh OpenBSD

4.2 install. It is recognized as an atu0 device. Internally it works great.

I can ping all of the IPs inside the gateway (and ping the gateway) and

browse to internal web sites, etc. Externally, I have no connectivity on

atu0, but I can get outside on my wired (fxp0) interface. Here's the

relevant portion of my ifconfig with the wired (fxp0) interface down:
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

	lladdr 00:50:8b:67:04:60

	groups: egress

	media: Ethernet autoselect (none)

	status: no carrier

	inet 192.168.0.254 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255

	inet6 fe80::250:8bff:fe67:460%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
atu0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

	lladdr 00:0c:41:56:f4:30

	groups: wlan egress

	media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS1 mode 11b)

	status: active

	ieee80211: nwid NETGEAR chan 11 bssid 00:0f:b5:c5:31:7e 87%

	inet 192.168.0.127 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255

	inet6 fe80::20c:41ff:fe56:f430%atu0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
I've tried adding atu0 to the 'egress' group, but still no go. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Brad

These are in the same subnet, this won't work. You might like
Wow, a nabble post with sufficient information to spot the

problem, that is somewhat unusual :-)

Can't you bridge them or create separate subnets and route them?
Is trunking the purpose here?
Just wondering....

It was just an experiment. I was trying to do some funky routing through the

wireless interface. I'll play with it some more. Thanks to all for the tips!

failover trunks are quite good for this situation (depending on how

long your switch takes to notice the move). Separate subnets are another

option but means doing more (and losing active connections) when you

change between wired and wireless.
You might use bridge(4) for an access point but that's somewhat

Thanks Stuart.
