Problem with configuring bridge interface (stopped working after device change)

[bsu]

Hello,
as said in the topic. It was running before I had to take the server to another place where I cannot connect the machine to the network via cable (now its wireless adapter). Yes, I know, don't laugh at me, it's only my private testing machine
So, interfaces:
- vmbr0 - bridge interface
- wlxd037452259c0 - wireless adapter
Command results:
1. ip a

2: eno1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 74:46:a0:90:d1:35 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

    inet 192.168.0.200/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global vmbr0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

2. /etc/network/interfaces (config is exactly the same as in the docs: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Network_Configuration)

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface wlxd037452259c0 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
    address 192.168.0.200
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.0.1
    bridge_ports wlxd037452259c0
    bridge_stp off
    bridge_fd 0

3. brctl show

4. journalctl -u networking.service

5. /car/log/kern.log

After changing location I've only changed bridge_ports in /etc/network/interface file, so I have no idea what is wrong now. I'm sure wireless adapter is working because it works when I use it directly, not via bridge.
I have no idea what those lines in kern.log mean:
- interface enters blocking/disabled state
- promiscuous mode (even turned it off on wireless interface using ip link command, didn't help)
Any ideas?

Regards

Hello,

AFAIK: this message is about STP, so the bridge is blocked that means not forwarding packets see here for more details [1].

Most wireless adapters cannot be used in a bridge when in station/client mode - in that case I'd consider using a routed setup:

Yup, you're right.

Thanks, it works but only in terms of machine's presence in the network. I am able to access Proxmox via GUI (on vmbr0 interface address) but the problem is that network traffic to VM's is not being routed to/from them - they are not able to ping the rest of the network and vice versa. I'm not sure if I get it. Where is the link between vmbr0 interface that VM's use and wireless adapter (i.e. bridge_ports is set to none)? It's forwarding packets but where. Or such setup needs some additional configuration? How should I set up the routing table? Currently, it's set up that all traffic goes through wireless adapter interface.

Problem solved but in some other way – I decided to buy a cheap router with WISP mode, that means wireless WAN and wireless/cable LAN, then plugged a cable to machine's ethernet port and then set it all up.

hi guys,

i solved problem change to harddisk. (For entered disable state and locking state)

i was using sata ssd

i changed nvme disk and solved.

i think sata not enough for 10 or 1 gigabit lan

sory for my bad english
