Help with Mesh Portal

[Chris Crawford]

Has anyone set up a mesh portal?  

I want to set up a mesh portal, but I'm running into a problem.  I have a laptop
with a ethernet port (eth0) and mesh connection and ideally this mesh portal
would bridge the two. I have followed the directions at
http://www.open80211s.org/trac/wiki/HOWTO#MeshPortalMPP

Only the mesh or the wired connection will work after I bring up the bridge, but
never both.

I'd appreciate any tips you may have on how to get traffic following through the
mesh portal.

(I'm new to this list.  Is this an appropriate place for this question, or should
I be asking over at linux-wireless?)
