thanx, looks good

following all instructions, see tunnel is runned

rb411 with:
ether1=192.168.88.1/24
wlan1=192.169.99.1/30

rb433 with:
ether1=192.168.88.2/24
wlan1=192.169.99.2/30

but cant ping AP's ether1 interface from station, and vice versa
in other words, no bridged traffic

version RouterOS 4.11

mpls works great. thanks again

found fourth method: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Pseudobridge

seems to simplest way
but what about performance?
what choose: mpls or pseudobridge?

If you have two choices and one is based on a standard and the other one is a proprietary solution, choose the first one.
In other words, go for MPLS.

maybe but pseudobridge is on ~25% faster

Interesting, we just made a MPLS+Nstreme bridge and will be testing the speed after the installation tomorrow.
If there will be time, the pseudobrige will be also tested, after all a translated text is never to be disrigarded. :)
