Mine /etc/network/interfaces looks as:
[code]
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# Internet on eth0 to my ISP through cable modem
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
# LAN on eth1 - this is my wired home network
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.10.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
# WiFi - this should be my home WLAN
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0 wlan0
[/code]
So maybe the wlan0 is not properly configured?
