I noticed that I had a 300Mbps N wireless adapter laying arround so I decided to use it in my ubuntu server to expand the range of my local nework, that server is being used as a samba and ftp server, it works great. My question is, is there any program that can create an access point without any dhcp server and bridge the eth0 interface to the wlan0 one so then my already existing dhcp server can handle all of the ip assignment? All of the tutorials or articles that I've read so far guide you trough the process of creating a separated subnet and that is not what I want.
in layman's terms is like connecting a router with another router trough the lan port and disabling the dhcp server on the one that is going to act as the access poing vs connecting the access point to the router trough the wan port.
UPDATE:
I've managed to get a wireless access point (using hostapd) working but I can't get the server to bridge eth0 to wlan0, I've seen some workarounds to this issue but all of them use a dhcp server in the middle, as I said, I want to use the dhcp server that I already have working on my network.
