I've recently come into the possession of a video game console capable of connecting to the internet via ethernet. Unfortunately, no ethernet port is within reasonable range. I have a spare WRT54GL and I know there was a thread earlier about alternative linksys firmwares and I'm a fan of Tomato. Does anyone know of a guide on the Web for Tomato to set up a wireless bridge for this?
really shouldn't be complicated at all. Wireless ethernet bridges tend to be absolutely trivial to setup.
I wish I knew why it wasn't working then. I set it up, each side says it connected to the other. But packets don't seem to get through =/
When in doubt [of networking] whip tcpdump or wireshark out.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I've actually solved this problem a much simpler way. We have AT&T U-verse here, which is a cable TV over DSL service. This needs a set top box around every TV connected to the internet, and it turns out they also have an ethernet port available for routing. Handy. In the end, wireless bridging is a Gordian knot. ^_^
