Hi Yann,
If you can ping 10.0.1.37 from the WLAN, then your Linux box is routing.
What is the error message that the wlan machines receive when the ping
fails?
You may want to try running tcpdump on the eth0 and check
/var/log/messages
for any FW generated errors messages.

Hi Pete,
The error message when I ping a LAN machine (the gateway for instance)
from a WLAN machine is 'Time exceed'.
I run tcpdump on eth0 and I make a ping from WLAN to LAN and I have net
error on /var/log/messages: there are no messages between the both
messages 'device eth0 entered in promiscuous mode' (tcpdump started) and
'device eth0 left promiscuous mode' (tcpdump stopped).
Cheers,
Yann
