| This may be possible, depending on what you want. Which interface will serve clients and which interface will be the upstream connection? |

| This may or may not work. Some vendors ship wireless cards that are incapable of acting in this mode. Please post the lspci -nn lines for your network cards. |

Ok. My network controllers are:
| Code: | ~ # lspci -nn
...
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0032] (rev 01)
04:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 v2.0 Gigabit Ethernet [1969:1083] (rev c0)
...
|
What do you think? |

Might work. Have a similar device (vendor 168c sub 0030) that's in bridging mode, using the ath9k driver, as your device will. The extra support needs to be in the firmware and driver for the wireless device. |

| Reading through /usr/share/doc/openrc-${VERSION}/net.example.bz2 may get you started; search for the sections that describe how to set up ethernet bridges and the comments should point you in the right direction. |

I do something similar using iptables. I have a WAN on subnet 192.168.1 and LAN on subnet 192.168.5
I use my firewall to do the bridging. It is very simple. |
