[SOLVED] eth0-wlan0 AP using bridge AND keep internet access
Hi there!
This is my very first post here, so please forgive me if I (unintentionally) violate some rule.
I have set up my system as an eth0-wlan0 access point with hostapd using a bridge.
The IP addresses are provided by a separate dhcp-server (router resp. cablemodem).
My problem is: when I work on the AP I would like to have a working connection to the
Internet/Router. But to get there I have to execute
systemctl restart dhcpcd.service
The AP via the eth0-wlan0 bridge keeps working and I now have a working Internet connection.
AFAIK the dhcpcd service acts (invoked by netcfg) on the bridge-profile to assign an IP
to eth0. After that the bridge is set up and (now hostapd.service is up) the wlan0 is
added to the bridge in AP mode.
It would be great if someone could point out the problem for me.
Thx, Benedikt

After switching from netcfg to netctl everything worked "out-of-the-box". The bridge gets to be the new standard network interface and all traffic on the machine gets directed through it. YAY

[Solved] Ask4 Student Internet, eth0-wlan0 AP using bridge
Didn't want to 'pollute' the wiki, in case this isn't the best way of doing, what I did; but it caused me enough frustration to not document it.
Basically, needed to create an access point using a wireless dongle to get my Nexus on the internet (Ask4's wireless routers aren't great ). Also as NAT stuff is "forbidden" on their servers/whatevers, needed to use bridging. Be warned - may kill your system/do funky stuff.
So...
1. Need to find out if your dongle is compatible with Master Mode (or AP mode) - loads of websites/wikis on this
2. Install hostapd (see Arch's wiki)
3. Create a hostapd.conf file in your home directory (just for testing - the one in /etc/hostapd is 'large'
#change wlan0 to your wireless device
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=test
channel=1
bridge=br0
4. Create the /etc/network.d/bridge file (see Arch's wiki)
INTERFACE="br0"
CONNECTION="bridge"
DESCRIPTION="Bridge wired and wireless connection"
# Only add wired interface here, hostapd will add wireless
BRIDGE_INTERFACES="eth0"
IP="dhcp"
#IP="static"
#ADDR='10.0.0.10'
#GATEWAY='10.0.0.1'
#DNS='10.0.0.1'
To get it to work with Ask4, you need eth0 to have DHCP enabled for this bit
5. enable and start [email protected]
6. stop dhcpcd.service
7. Start hostapd
hostapd ~/hostapd.conf
to see if everything works
8. Try connecting to the network using your device (should work)
9. Once you've finished using it, kill the hostapd process
10. Stop [email protected]
11. Start [email protected] to get the internet working again.
If everything works, you probably want to go back and edit the hostapd conf to give it some security.

I am trying to open a .tiff file in photoshop by using bridge and it opens it as a photo in windows. If I go to file<open it says could not complete request because it is not the right type of document. It is a file from a lesson folder from school. Can anyone help me?
Hi,
The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.
DNG Converter 8.8

For photography I have CS4, Lightroom 5.3, I use Bridge and sometimes NIK and Topaz Plugins. If I want to update to CC, what is the plan I need? Will all of my Lightroom history data be retained?

Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple
It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly. -
How many ghz should I get if I plan on using my IPad2 for internet access, email, facebook and games for my daughters children?
Ghz is the CPU speed and that is fixed for each iPad model.
The GB is the number of Gigabytes of storage.
I had a 32G iPad1 and filled it up with 5000 songs, 20,000 photos and about 50 apps. It doesn't sound like you will need anything larger than that. If you are just talking about a few dozen apps and email, the 16G version should be adequate. -
My mac book air connects to my network and gets internet access but airport utility cannot find my airport base station to set up time machine
airport utility cannot find my airport base station to set up time machine
Normally, AirPort Utility is not used or needed to set up Time Machine backups......unless a default setting on the Time Capsule to Enable File Sharing has been changed.
On the other hand, if you open AirPort Utility, a picture of the Time Capsule should be displayed. Are you saying here that the Time Capsule does not appear when you open AirPort Utility? -
Using Bridge and LR with same folders/files
Having organized, edited and rated my photos using Bridge CS4 but recently started getting seriously into LR3 I still want to keep that file structure, either in a transitional period or indefinitely.
I normally use Bridge to import the photos, then spend some time creating sub-folders (one folder per event), organizing them. I'm hoping that I can add those (already organized) folders into LR, but can't figure out how. I see how I can import the photos, but I don't want that as I want to keep them all in the same location (they're all organized on the hard drive as I want them), just have LR "see" them so I can further edit and rate them. How do I do that?
I also want LR to understand and see the edits I've made to my RAW files as well as my ratings, keywords etc.
Are there other things I should keep in mind when having my photos work with both Bridge and LR?It's possible to work the way you do, but with Lr it's a bit awkward, particularly if you start editing (developing) your images in Bridge.
You ask: " I'm hoping that I can add those (already organized) folders into Lr, but can't figure out how."
You have to import the images. Without importing nothing can happen in Lr.
So, open the Import Dialog. If it shows only the small window of the Import Dialog, click on the triangle in the bottom left corner, to expand the window.
On the left side you'll see the <Source> panel. navigate to the folder in question and click on it to select it. You will see all images in this folder in the main window of the Import Dialog.
Then in the top center of the Import Dialog select <Add>.
<Add> is for importing images that are already on the hard drive and you do not want to change their location.
<Move> is for importing images that are already on the hard drive and you do want to change their location.
<Copy> is for importing images from camera / memory card.
By selecting <Add> Lr will import the images in their present folder and will display the folder.
Your Bridge edits will also be imported because on import Lr reads the image file and the xmp-file where Bridge has stored the metadata of your edits.
But this is true only for import. Should you then decide for an image that has been imported in Lr to edit it in Bridge again, these edits would not automatically be visible in Lr. This is so because with imported images Lr stores all edits in its catalog, and does not display the metadata from the xmp-file where Bridge saves edits.
But you can make Lr read and display these additional Bridge-edits by doing a <read metadata from file>. But this is problematic because <reading metadata from file> will overwrite any Lr edits.
So you see that because of the fact that Lr works with its catalog while Bridge does not, editing images in Bridge and in Lr is a recipe for frustration. It can be done, but it's awkward and prone to mistakes.
Therefore I would suggest to bite the bullet and henceforth use Lr as your only editor. Import images from camera in Lr, do all your editing in Lr.
Since you are used to do edits in in Bridge Camera Raw, Lr will pose no big problems for you.
But if you don't want to let go of Bridge right away, I'd suggest you do at least one thing: After importing the images in Lr refrain from further editing these images in Bridge. -

Using Bridge and CR on alternative computers
As a complete newbie to Adobe products particularly Photoshop this may well be a simple question to answer and may already be possible but...
I have recently installed CS4 on a Intel i7 running Vista-64 fortunately with 6Gb of RAM and am impressed. I particularly like Bridge and CR5 and would like to learn to use the workflow practises that the 3 programmes suggest.
Occassionaly I find myself overseas with a camera and a portable computer and would like to use the flexibility that the latter two provide for indexing the photographs as they are taken and looking at/doing minor tweaks on the photos at the time they are taken. I don't need or want to install CS4 on the portable as the main manipulation is going to happen when I'm back home and have some processing power behind me but I would like to use the other 2 on the portable while I'm away from home ase. Now clearly they won't be used on the main system (I'm the only one that uses it) while I'm away so there is little danger of them being used by 2 people at the same time so personally I don't have a problem using the same software on the 2 pcs.
I am fully aware of the potential problems and also realise the needs of the copyright owners to ensure that the software isn't duplicated (I'm also a musician and fully understand the issues of copyright). I understand I can unauthorise the main installation and install the software on the portable then presumably switch between the two in similar situations as I wish but this seems to require the continual feeding of software keys into the two machines. This is one situation where the use of USB keys would actually be an advantage.
Perhaps this is something that Adobe could look at for future versions. Or maybe there is a way to do what I want already...I am pretty sure that license allows you to use Adobe's software on two computers; however you should check it by reading it.

Can I download Firefox and keep Internet Explorer as my default browser?
I am being prompted to install Firefox to use the MobileMe site with my IPAD. Before I download, I'd like to know if I can KEEP Internet Explorer as my Default Browser. I am NOT great with my computer and therefore would have difficulty fixing any technical challenges.
Yes you can keep IE as your default browser when installing Firefox, just answer NO when Firefox asks if you want to set it as the default browser.
What's that about the iPad? You can't install either IE or Firefox in the iPad, neither has a version for iOS.
