Wireless access point with Bering uClibc?

Hi Jim,

This sounds exactly like what I do - I have a wireless
access point connected via a cross-over cable to a separate
NIC on the Bering-uClibc box. In fact I have 4 NICs -
Internet (WAN) connection, Internal (LAN) connection, a DMZ
and also the wireless LAN connection. I don't mind so much
if somebody gets onto my wireless LAN and connects to the
Internet, but I'd rather keep them off my wired LAN.

Basically you need to add another Interface, another
Shorewall Zone and then define Rules and Policies like you
get by default for the "loc" Zone. You'll also
need an entry in /etc/shorewall/masq to NAT the wireless
traffic out to the Internet. I've set things up so the
wireless connection is more like the "loc" zone
than "dmz".
