Got wds working between two wrt's. I had to manually set the mac
addresses for it to work... it'd be nice to get lazywds working, but
apparently we laxhax :(

Here's what I did.

On access point A:

nvram set wl0_lazywds=0
nvram set wl0_wds=00:13:10:f8:69:31 (mac of other wrt)
nvram commit
(reboot)

On access point B:

nvram set wl0_lazywds=0
nvram set wl0_wds=00:0F:66:E3:69:3D (mac of other wrt)
nvram commit
(reboot)

At this point i was able to ping the ip address of router A from router
B, and vice versa.

Keep in mind we had already set the to the same channel (wl0_channel)
and same ssid (wl0_ssid), and assigned each a unique ip address
(lan_ipaddr and lan_netmask) in the same subnet.

Now that we have this working between the two routers, we can take them
down to the LOLpht/Broadway sometime and test with roaming around
between them to make sure they hand-off traffic properly, make sure
DHCP will work across the nodes, stuff like that.

Who's down for a WiWednesday this week?
