wifi to ethernet bridge, how does this work in Gargoyle

[blacksun]

Hello,

I have 2 Fonera 2100. On one device, i installed Gargoyle 1.5.6. On the other device, i installed OpenWrt Backfire.
So it should be the same base.

With Gargoyle, i could realize a wifi to ethernet bridge.
I tried the same in OpenWrt, but it didnt work. So I asked in the OpenWrt-Forum. I was informed that there is no real bridge when the main router do not support WDS (which is my case).

I am a little bit confused.
How does gargoyle do this?

Thanks.

A “hack” called ARPNAT. More recent versions of Gargoyle use relayd (which is what openwrt uses).

ARPNAT was pretty clever and I sometimes think about going back to it. Relayd works, but it has its quirks. As does ARPNAT I suppose.
