Hi all!
I´am a complete noob regarding Clearos.
Previously I used Pfsense but the hardware support was realy bad.
I turned to Clearos for a testdrive.
My problem is as follows:
My version:
Version ClearOS Community release 6.3.0 (Final)
Kernel Version 2.6.32-279.2.1.v6.x86_64
I have a setup with two NICs eth0 and eth1 (RTL8111/8168B) and a WiFi-adapter TL-WDN4800 (AR9300)
All shows up fine.
I´am able to setup hostapd so i can find the SSID.
The next thing is that i try to bridge eth1 and the Wifi card (hostapd).
I have tried several guides and forum posts with no success.
I have edited :
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
But when I restart Clearos I loose Contact with the webgui from the LAN nic..
Has anybody got this working?
The reason for doing this is that Samsung has designed there software for remote Control of their TVs, the LAN and Wifi must be in the same subnet.
The app has no input for IP-adress but rellies on broadcast.

Tanx Nick for the tip about the NIC drivers.
Finally got it solved.
Found the missing information here:
http://www.clearcenter.com/support/documentation/clearos_guides/clearbox_as_a_transparent_inline_bridge
I needed to edit /etc/clearos/network.conf and add/edit LANIF=“br0”
This http://www.clearfoundation.com/docs/howtos/network_bridging" target="_blank"> guide mentions edditing the Firewall configuration file but Points att the wrong location. -

There are two different guides on bridging on this site here and here. Have you tried ether of these?
Also I note you have RTL8111/8168B NICs. Have you updated the drivers to the R8168 ones? You would need to install the kmod-r8168 package from here. If you are using the ClearOS supplied drivers you'll be using the r8169 drivers which can cause various problems with these cards. What is the output of:
It wll tell you which driver you are using.lspci -k | grep Eth -A 4
