A minimal buildroot image to turn the Raspberry Pi into a Wi-Fi to Ethernet bridge.

Quick Start

  1. Download the latest sdcard.img for your Pi from the releases page and flash it to a micro SD card.
  2. Mount the root filesystem from the micro SD card and modify the config files according to CONFIG.md. This can also be done on the Pi itself if you have a serial console available:
mount / -o remount,rw
vi /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
vi /etc/hostname
...
mount / -o remount,ro
reboot
  1. (Re)boot the Pi and connect your Ethernet client. Observe that it now has network connectivity!

Advanced Usage

You can leverage buildroot's extreme flexibility to make all sort of customizations to the image. See BUILDING.md for more info.

How It Works

See BridgeNetworkConnectionsProxyArp on the Debian Wiki.
