#1423 needs to be reopened. Or otherwise note the howto is confirmed broken. Something changed w/ systemd or dhcpcd and the instructions no longer work. |

Go to the end of the file and add the following:
interface br0
With this line, interface br0 will be configured in accordance with the defaults via DHCP. Save the file to complete the IP configuration of the machine.

What's above is a proposed fix, as per #1423.
The routed ap howto already asked users to add something at the beginning of file dhcpcd.conf, and something else at the end of that same file. Now this seems necessary for the bridged ap as well.

What a nice PR. I found this PR after trying to set up an AP as a bridge on 3B+. I follow the guide on this PR, but somehow I got incorrect password everytime I tried to connect via Wi-Fi using my laptop or handphone. The problem is exactly similar to this one. In the end I tried reflashing my PI, and follow the guide that I got from one of the answer there. Using that answer now everything is working so far. I'm not sure what my problem was. Just want to share my experience here. Anyway this PR is needed because I think the one on the master branch is pretty old and need update. |

This has been hanging around for quite a while now - I am inclined to merge it (once rebased) since it's better than the current pages, even if not quite perfect. |
|
@epoch1970. Really sorry about the delay here. If you can rebase it to current tree then I'll give a last once over and merge it. |
|
No problem. However, you're speaking to a dummy: I don't understand what rebasing entails. What do you want me to do? |
|
There are apparently conflicts which prevent it from merging, so something has changed on our repothat means you PR won't apply. Rebasing really just means fixing it up so it will reapply without conflicts. ie rebasing you change on top on the new top of tree docs. On the command line I would "git pull --rebase upstream master" or similar then fix the conflicts, but not sure how you do that in github...Might be easier if I do it here. Will try! |
|
I think that has done it.... |

Great! |
This is a merge from the original OP's branch, but still needs copy editing, so added as a new PR.
