Situation: - one WLAN interface, working perfectly for hostapd - one free LAN interface, unused a.t.m. Request: - combine both into a "Blue" bridge - thus providing faster stable wired connections Earlier positive reference: https://community.ipfire.org/t/bridging-wlan0-and-eth-interface/4408 Current negative reference: https://community.ipfire.org/t/selected-interface-is-not-a-wlan-card/4984/2 Differential Analysis: - zone configuration combining two LAN if - into an "Orange" bridge works flawlessly, back and forth: - https://community.ipfire.org/t/selected-interface-is-not-a-wlan-card/4984/8 Cross-Reference - might be related: - Bug #12585 - https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12585 I have published my HW information. Please, tell me what else I could provide to help. Thanks!

Hello, I have no idea what the bug is that is being reported here. You can put as many wireless or non-wireless interfaces into one bridge as you like. Nothing is stopping you.

The information provided clearly describes that with *my* HW, this does *not* work. Fortunately, by upgrading to Core Update 156, this was resolved - although nothing in the Release Notes gave hope to this progress. Looking forward to testing newly released Core Update 157. Will report ...
(In reply to Manfred Knick from comment #3) > Looking forward to testing newly released Core Update 157. . . . WORKSFORME = with configuration previously set, .................... no errors occur on reboot into 157, .................... W-LAN -> Blue works, To be continued: .................... LAN -> Blue remains to be tested, .................... Zone (re-) Configuration has to be tested.
Glad it works for you now
I intended to close my bug myself, but *after* finishing my offer: > To be continued: > .................... LAN -> Blue remains to be tested, > .................... Zone (re-) Configuration has to be tested. Perhaps this is considered as not important. Strange: NOTABUG instead of "RESOLVED ?

I do not understand what else is unresolved here. > Perhaps this is considered as not important. > > Strange: NOTABUG instead of "RESOLVED ? Since there is no change to do, there is no bug. The bug would be marked as RESOLVED after a solution has been released which is not the case here.
