Hello,
Im trying to bridge wireless interface (ap0) on which I run hostapd onto ovs bridge (br1) (I have patched version of hostapd: https://github.com/Unomic/hostapd_ovs).
I tried this through command sudo ovs-vsctl add-port br1 ap0 and hostapd config file with option bridge=br1, which should do the same thing.
In both cases I can see ap0 listed with command sudo ovs-ofctl show br1.
Output looks like this:
OFPT_FEATURES_REPLY (xid=0x2): dpid:00004aab3763a94a
n_tables:254, n_buffers:0
capabilities: FLOW_STATS TABLE_STATS PORT_STATS QUEUE_STATS ARP_MATCH_IP
actions: output enqueue set_vlan_vid set_vlan_pcp strip_vlan mod_dl_src mod_dl_dst mod_nw_src mod_nw_dst mod_nw_tos mod_tp_src mod_tp_dst

config: 0
state: 0
speed: 0 Mbps now, 0 Mbps max
OFPT_GET_CONFIG_REPLY (xid=0x4): frags=normal miss_send_len=0
But I dont see any frames/packets on interface br1 checking with tcpdump
When I do the same thing with Linux bridges using brctl, I can observe data (DHCP discover and some other) fom client on the Linux bridge.
note: I dont use any encryption.
Did anyone have problem with this? Maybe Im missing something. Could you please point me to relevant info.
Thanks for suggestions.
