Netplan wireless bridge Ubuntu 18












0














I am trying to create a bridge for my wireless NIC (wlp4s0) with the intention to provide direct access to it from a KVM. I also intend to share the ethernet NIC the same way, but am only having trouble with the wireless



NICs:
ethernet: enp3s0
wireless: wlp4s0



This works:



network:
ethernets:
enp3s0:
addresses:
wifis:
wlp4s0:
addresses:
dhcp4: true
access-points:
"MYWIFI":
password: "password"
bridges:
br0:
interfaces: [enp3s0]
dhcp4: true
version: 2


The result is a working wireless connection, and a working bridge of the ethernet NIC, both of which get assigned an IP from the dhcp on the connected router and everything works.



If I change it to the following



network:
ethernets:
enp3s0:
addresses:
dhcp4: true
wifis:
wlp4s0:
addresses:
access-points:
"MYWIFI":
password: "password"
bridges:
br0:
interfaces: [wlp4s0]
dhcp4: true
version: 2


I get a working connection on the ethernet NIC (with a dynamic IP from the router), both the wlp4s0 and br0 devices appear as UP if I run ifconfig, but neither of them are assigned an IP from the router and only the ethernet connection works.



There are no apparently errors if I run netplan in --debug mode, or in dmesg after applying the configuration
