Transparently Bridge point-to-point Nstreme link.

In the RouterOS manual they give an example to make a point-to-point Nstreme link. What they don’t explain is how to transparently bridge Ethernet traffic trough the radio, similar to the scenario described in this link,
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Transpare ... o_Networks. I’ve tried to create a bridge on both radios and put the Eth1 and wlan1 on the same bridge but I still can’t get traffic to flow trough the radios. I get the wireless link up but I can’t get the Ethernet to transparently flow trough my links.
Any ideas.

I would really route it, there is virtualy no reason not too. I have yet to have a good argument other than someone don't know how. Much better in many differant ways.

What if you needed to create a trunk between two cisco switches on either side of the link. I have many bridges that I need to do this.

Make sure under the wire links on both you have on the WDS tab -- Dynamic and bridge 1 selected. Also have one radio station wds for type and the other ap bridge.

If I do this then I don't have a Nstreme link anymore. Can I have both WDS and Nstreme enabled and if yes, is their and advantage to it?
