Hi, list!
I need some help setting up WDS between two linksys WRT54GL boxes,
both running OpenWrt Kamikaze 709.
I have a relatively standard setup, except one issue: the wireless
network is not bridged with any other interfaces. Instead, I'm
bridging the wired lan with an openvpn network, and then, I don't need
encrypted wireless.
According to what I've read about WDS, you need to use a bridge. So
I sat up a bridge for the wlan as well. The config on the primary box goes
as follows:
File: /etc/config/network
#### VLAN configuration
config switch eth0
option vlan0 "0 1 2 3 5*"
option vlan1 "4 5"
#### Loopback configuration
[...]
#### LAN configuration
config interface lan
option type bridge
option ifname "eth0.0"
option proto static
option ipaddr 10.0.1.1
option netmask 255.255.255.0
#### WAN configuration
[...]
#### WLAN configuration
config interface wlan
option ifname "wl0"
option type bridge
option proto static
option ipaddr 192.168.2.1
option netmask 255.255.255.0
Q: What should the above file read on the second box?
File: /etc/config/wireless
config wifi-device wl0
option type broadcom
option channel 5
config wifi-iface
option device wl0
option network wlan
option mode ap
option ssid OpenWrt
option encryption none
option wds 0
config wifi-iface
option device wl0
option network wlan
option mode wds
option bssid 00:1D:7E:FB:51:07
option ssid wsd
option encryption none
option wds 0
Q: Should the bssid above be the address of the wl0 interface on the second
box?
Another important question: What should this file read on the second
box?
The ifconfig output on the primary box reads as follows:
