rpi-network-bridge

A script for bridging two network interfaces on a Raspberry Pi, since simple bridging methods seem to not be compatible with the RPI hardware design.

1. Requirements

# For RPI 2 or below:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get install dnsmasq -y

# If you are using a RPI 3:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get install rpi-update dnsmasq -y
sudo rpi-update

2. Examples

Note: This script does not cover setting up network interfaces. It already assumes the two interfaces you wish to bridge are already configured correctly.

For example interface configurations, look below, or do some Googling :)

Example eth0

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
  address 172.24.1.1
  network 172.24.1.0
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  broadcast 172.24.1.255
  gateway 172.24.1.1

Example wlan0

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
     wpa-driver madwifi #realtek driver (for realtek usb adapter)
     wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf # wpa config
