Wanting to add a wireless ap option. I like the idea of bridge mode, no extra subnet. But I want some form of encryption/security.
In bridge mode is it possible to run WPA-PSK on the ath0 interface?
I've set bridge mode up as this.
ifconfig -a
ath0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
ether 00:40:96:a9:c7:54

Starting dhcpd it errored on ath0, I guess no inet/ip setting caused this.
Starting hostapd, no errors, but the ath0 shows in open mode.
P.S. The happy faces came from somewhere other than me.
