Hi, I want to to bridge two connections together, one is from NIC (et0) and another one is from wireless receiver (wl0). I'm quite scared to do things terminally. Is there a program (GUI) for this?

Pretty sure the answer is no. I've been hunting around to see if the network-manager gui and how it administers my network interfaces will play nicely with a bridge setup. On my last Gusty install I basically had to remove network-manager and setup the bridge manually to make it work. I can see this coming eventually, but have no idea when.
Sorry to revive an old thread- but I'd like to agree with this. There needs to be a GUI way of doing this- not that I don't know my way around the terminal, but nm-applet is a fragile piece of garbage. The script way of doing this seems rather hackish and the applet is liable to break if you look at it the wrong way.
/rant over.
Never sleep. Live in terminal. Think in code.

Firestarter will let you bridge connections, select which interface you want to be LAN and which you want to be WAN then check the box that says something about connection sharing.
1) Samba server howto | 2) mount windows/samba shares with CIFS + unicode | 3) best FTP server howto
4) NFS server/client howto | 5) Easy cross-platform LAN file sharing with FTP
6) Fix samba browsing!!! | 7) Fix Pulse audio
Happy Ubunting!
If you're using 9.04/.10 then you can just use the built in network manager. I bridged connection from my wireless to xbox with just a check box.
I'm trying to get my xbox360 to connect to my wireless network through my laptop. In windows I can just select the two and hit bridge, but so far I've tried to bridge my wireless wlan0 to my wired eth0 both with bridge-utils and the settings in network manager (Running 9.10) and neither worked. Am I missing anything?
Realllly simple! Let me upload some pictures
I believe that it uses two different "user profiles" for the connections. Anyway, it started working when I did this.
