Using network-manager-gnome to bridge eth0 and wlan0

[Wirezfree]

Hi,
You peaked my interest, givenn LL2.x is based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Lots of stuff on this subject, this was the last I found, a response to another post. You have probably tried this...

Not true.
A simple bridge interface works fine, and I am using it now. The packets are the same.

* Install bridge-utils to be able to create network bridges:

Code:

sudo apt-get install bridge-utils

* Edit /etc/network/interfaces:

Code:

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

The interfaces file should look like this after editing it:

Code:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
#
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
#
bridge_ports eth0 wlan0
#
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

* Restart networking with:

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
