Hi All Im in the process of creating a wireless network in a star topology using alix boxes and voyage with 2x atherous wireless cards. Being new to this type of setup im not sure what im doing wrong.
Basically I can get two of the boxes to communicate via the following config on each device. The issue is when I add a third box I lose connectivity with the second one. If I comment out the second wds section the first will work and vice versa. Any help would be greatly appreciated Cheers Luke # create and configure AP interface wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi1 wlanmode ap iwconfig ath0 essid backhaul channel 160 iwpriv ath0 mode 1 # create first WDS interface, tell about WDS partner, enable WDS mode wlanconfig wdsath10 create wlandev wifi1 wlanmode wds iwpriv wdsath10 wds_add <mac address of partner> iwpriv wdsath10 wds 1 # create second WDS interface, tell about WDS partner, enable WDS mode wlanconfig wdsath11 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode wds iwpriv wdsath11 wds_add <mac_address_of_wds_partner_2> iwpriv wdsath11 wds 1 ###MAKE ACCESS POINT wlanconfig ath1 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap iwpriv ath1 mode 2 iwconfig ath1 essid WIFIAP channel 11 ### set distance athctrl auth0 -d 40 # bring all interfaces up # NOTE: Bringing up the AP interface first is important at this time ifconfig ath0 up ifconfig ath1 up ifconfig wdsath10 up ifconfig eth0 up ifconfig wdsath11 up # create the bridge and enslave all needed interfaces brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 ath0 brctl addif br0 ath1 brctl addif br0 wdsath10 #brctl addif br0 wdsath11 brctl addif br0 eth0 # bring up the bridge ifconfig br0 192.168.16.6 255.255.255.0 up
