Message-ID<FFeOZ-cgi9-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
Package: wiki.debian.org
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I visited https://wiki.debian.org/BridgeNetworkConnections and read an
example:

   pre-up iwconfig wlan0 essid $YOUR_ESSID
   bridge_hw $MAC_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_WIRELESS_CARD

but this does not work (for me on 1 host tested only).
After spending quite some time on troubleshooting I think it should be

   pre-up iwconfig wlan0 essid $YOUR_ESSID
   bridge_hw $DEVICE_NAME_OF_YOUR_WIRELESS_CARD

or better simply:

   pre-up iwconfig wlan0 essid $YOUR_ESSID
   hwaddress $MAC_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_WIRELESS_CARD

(bridge_hw seems to expect an interface name). Unfortunately I did not
find the right man page or definition to be sure (man interfaces does
not meantion any of bridge_hw or hwaddress). It's Debian 11.

As I now spent too much time on that (assuming a problem with DHCP
server) I would like to help others by reporting this in the hope
some expert could take a look.

Best regards,
Steffen
