When running Windows I was able to bridge my wifi connect through my laptops Ethernet connection so a range of ethernet only devices could piggy back off my wifi (Raspberry Pi, Xbox etc etc). I am now trying to do the same within Ubuntu, i.e the set up would be:
Wireless Router ---> Wifi on laptop ---> bridge to Ethernet ---> Device that needs internet plugged into Ethernet port
Now I have been trying to get this working in Ubuntu using brctl
I used the below command:
sudo brctl addif br0 eth0 wlan0
And get the following error:
can't add wlan0 to bridge br0: Operation not supported
I am hoping someone can help as I refuse to believe something I can do in windows very easily can't be done in Linux.
If you need any more info do let me know. Thanks
