Forum Thread: Kali Linux How to Bridge Two Wireless Connections wlan1 wlan0?

Please state clearly the syntax that you used. How can anyone help you if you aren't providing enough information?

Generally speaking, to create a bridge with bridge-utils (brctl), type:
brctl addbr <bridge_name>
Then to add an interface to that bridge, type:
brctl addif <bridge_name> <interface>
To see all of your bridges and their interfaces, type:
brctl show

(NB: you will lose any outside connections of the interfaces you bridge, meaning they will not provide you with an IP address and internet connectivity)

im i doing something wrong?can you help me?

Is there any way to monitor (monitor mode)with wlan1 and provide Internet access with wlan0?

Yes, that is possible. If that is what you are bridging them for then there is really no need. Just use both interfaces separately for whatever you need.

If you want to browse the internet while cracking a WPS pin with Reaver, go ahead and use one interface with Monitor mode and leave the other one for your internet access. Unless you specifically require bridging, it is not a must.

TRT

yes you can,

ifconfig "wlan0" down

iwconfig "wlan0" mode monitor

ifconfig "wlan0" up

will do i think

byebyte!

Thank you for responding. I thing i have to explain it better. I am using airbase-ng and clone an AP. Then i want to give internet access to the cloned AP.

I see. For that, you will need a third interface with an internet connection. There are currently two modes involved here: monitor (airbase-ng) and master (clone ap).

To access the internet, you need an interface with managed mode (i.e. the normal mode of your interface when it is just connected to a network).

An example of why you would need another interface would be routers. They accept an internet connection from your ISP with one interface (managed mode) and then they use another interface (master mode) to provide you with an access point to connect to.

Sorry, but this is an inconvenience that cannot be escaped.

the command : brctl addif <bridge_name> <interface>

gives error as : can't add wlan0 to bridge evil: Operation not supported
