Hosting WIFI AP

[marslars]

Hello, im quite new to this forum, so i'm not sure if this question is in the right place

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 running Arch Linux ARM and i'm very happy for it.
I have an official raspberry pi wifi adapter (the white one), and I would like to host my own access point, no dhcp and dns, just an access point.

But im having some problems using it.

I have tried this guide:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_bridge

I can get hostapd to work and see my access point and connect to it. (wlan0)
And my eth0 has a static IP from netctl.

But when i try to create a bridge connecting the two interfaces, i tried using netctl to create a bridge, it doesn't really work. I connect to the access point (hostapd), but I don't get an ip from the rest of the network (coming in from eth0).
Is there anyone who knows of another guide, or maybe can recommend another type of setting static ip's on the interfaces, and then creating a bridge between the two?
- or maybe im just stupid


Thanks in advance

The problem is that you assigned a static ip to eth0 and trying to add it to the bridge. In the bridge mode the brX interface should have an IP, nothing else.

One of these? https://thepihut.com/collections/raspberry-pi-wifi/products/official-raspberry-pi-wifi-adapter
They say "•Works with Raspbian out of the box (Currently no other operating systems are supported)", I told them they are wrong.

Which chipset is it, dmesg will show, some need older hostap
