Add Wifi to a bridge on linux following wiki - Olive - 05-26-2020

Hi ,

I'm trying to setup batocera on a gpdwin.

I followed the wiki to setup a vpn interface to play online.

Now i need to add the wifi nic to a bridge in order to play but i don't understand the wiki ( Wiki ) :

Quote:Linux doesn't support adding a wireless interface to a bridge as of July 2012 so you need a wired NIC for that to work.
In case you still want to use a WiFi network for connecting, there is the option to create another tunnel-interface over a UDP connection across the WiFi network:

Code:
openvpn --dev tap-dolphin --port 2626 --remote otherIP --local thisIP --ping 10 --ping-exit 60 --daemon
ifconfig tap-dolphin 0.0.0.0
Quote:The created interface tap-dolphin can then be used to add to the br0 bridge instead of eth0.

Do someone understand what is otherIP ? ThisIP should be a local address on the network...

Thank you Smile
