LAN WIFI bridge Topic is solved

[Joulinar]

Well, I guess there are more high priority task than implementing a bridge mode

However you are free to open your feature request at https://feathub.com/MichaIng/DietPi

I'm just using Diet and I like it

I saw there's already a feature request for RaspAP. To me it doesn't matter, but a simple bridge mode for the already implemented hotspot looks more straight forward.

Here's another attempt for bridging without using RaspAP, configuring this takes less time then ionstalling RaspAP on old Raspberry.

It's written in german, but straight forward. So I think nothing more to explain.

What I changed in hostapd.conf:
- added driver according used Wifi usb adapter (in my case "driver=nl80211")
- changed SSID + PW

Additionally I changed the Dietpi-Services (available via dietpi-launcher) to let the system controll the hostapd service.

Beware of, that the DHCP-Router will assign the IP to the new bridge. So after first restart, your Dietpi is available on other IP.

Advantage compared to other methods:
- no useless stuff coming with RaspAP and after some hard poweroffs the system wasn't available anymore (I know I shouldn't do this)
- no dhcp server coming with Dietpi-Hotspot

Hope this helps others, who want to bridfge Wifi <-> ethernet on raspberry / Dietpi.
