Specifically, I am trying to understand how a packet from a laptop travels to a virtual interface through the repeater and on to the main AP. What interfaces it crosses and what iptables rules make the travel possible?

Can someone shed some light? (Eko maybe)

Just like normal WAN-LAN, just interfaces are wireless.
WAN= wl0
LAN = br0 = vlan0 + wl0.1

Excuse me but I am slow with this stuff. Could you give an example of a packet traveling all the way to the main AP?

For example (of course I don't know how accurate this is)

1. Packet comes in from laptop on 'wl0.1' (give iptable rule that allows this)
2. Packet crosses from 'wl0.1' to 'wl0' (again give iptable rule(s) that allows this)
3. Packet leaves 'wl0' of repeater goes to 'wl0' of main AP (what iptables rules are involved)

Also if it is 'br0' instead of 'wl0.1' let me know. I would like EVERY detail of the travel.


Thanks!

What marks wl0 as WAN and br0 as LAN? I need to flip it. Details here

Flushing iptables didin't help. Internet is accessible on br0 but WAN packets on wl0 from repeatee do not get forwarded. Any suggestion on keywords for googling will also be appreciated.
