config wifi-device  wl0
        option type     broadcom
        option channel  2

        option network  lan
        option mode     ap

        option mode wds
        option hidden 1

        option encryption psk2

        option key "xxxxxxx"
        option bssid "00:1C:XX:XX:XX:XX"

END /etc/config/wireless

then create this script in /etc/wdsauto.sh

#!/bin/ash
let tocount=1
echo $tocount
let counter=$(uci show |grep mode=wds |sed -n '$=')
let counter=counter+1
echo $counter
while [ $tocount -lt $counter ]
do
ifconfig wds0.$tocount up
let tocount=tocount+1
echo $counter
done

ifconfig |grep wds|awk {'printf $1'} |sed 's/wds0/\nwds0/g'|grep '.' |sed 's/^/brctl addif br-lan /g' > /tmp/addwds.sh && chmod +x /tmp/addwds.sh && /tmp/addwds.sh

###END SCRIPT

chmod +x /etc/wdsauto.sh

then at the end of /etc/init.d/done but before the last "}" add

sh /etc/wdsauto.sh

and reboot

it's an ugly workaround, but it's tested

keep up the good work

i'm sorry, i posted this on the wrong section, can any admin move it to the HOWTO Section?

Will somebody explain what is happening in that script?

With the actual Kamikaze-Releases (7.09pre) the wdsauto.sh-script is no longer required. The bridges are set in the right way.
Important is to set "brctl stp br-lan on" to get rid of the "wds0.x: received packet with  own address as source address"-messages.

In my setup works 4-Router in AP/WDS-Mode without Problems yet.

Wait, you have psk2 working on a Broadcom? Is this a 7.09 only feature? I thought that this was not possible at all.

Also did you have to modify the "20-broadcom_wds" script to get it working? In 707 you had to modify it to just get WPA1 WDS working.

I've made a tweak in /lib/network/config.sh to setup stp directly in /etc/config/network

# Setup bridging                                                     
        config_get iftype "$config" type                                     
        case "$iftype" in                                                   
                bridge)                                                     
                        config_get brstp "$config" brstp
...
...
                                        $DEBUG brctl addbr "br-$config"
                                        $DEBUG brctl setfd "br-$config" 0
                                        [ $brstp ] && $DEBUG brctl stp "br-$config" "$brstp"
...
...

And then in /etc/config/network:

config interface guest                 
        option ifname  'eth0.13' 
        option type      'bridge'   
        option brstp    'on'     
        option proto    'none'

Hi,
i am new to kamikaze. where do i need to add/change "brctl stp br-lan on"? Can someone please post his configfiles ("network" and "wireless" of at least 2 devices)?

What additional packages do i need?

i am using wds with 2 devices on wr0.9rc5 right now. Now i need a to cover a larger area, so i want to switch to kamikaze with 3 devices total...

thanks a lot for your help!
Chris

I think I'm interested in that too.

I can't believe that nobody knows that

Hi!

It seems in Kamikaze 7.09 WDS works with PSK1 but not PSK2, haven't tried WEP.

Here's my working "wireless" for a WDS-bridge:

config wifi-device  wl0
        option type     broadcom
        option channel  6

config wifi-iface
        option device   wl0
        option network  lan
        option mode     ap
        option ssid     myap
        option encryption psk1
        option key      yourkey
        option isolate  1

config wifi-iface
        option device   wl0
        option network  lan
        option mode     wds
        option ssid     mywds
        option bssid    01:02:03:04:05:06
        option encryption psk1
        option key      yourkey

###END OF wireless
yourkey should be a good key (any string, at least letters and numbers work, don't know which special characters)
the bssid is the mac-address from the other AP (in the output of ifconfig)

Hope this will help some people searching for documentation of WDS-bridges in OpenWRT

Greetings,
Bjoern

That's because the hotplug script for WDS is broken. There was a fix posted in another thread a while ago, and I posted the fixed script in another thread the other day.

I have the same configuration. Is taht a problem that both Linksys have the same key and SSID?

I must be missing something.

Can you use WDS between different devices? I have a 500g (atlwap1)  and a wrt54g (atlwap2).

I see entries in the logs where they start up wds and complain about being on the same interface:
Jan  1 00:00:14 atlwap1 user.info kernel: device wds0.1 entered promiscuous mode
Jan  1 00:00:14 atlwap1 user.info kernel: wds0.1: attempt to add interface with same source address.
Jan  1 00:00:14 atlwap1 user.info kernel: br-lan: port 3(wds0.1) entering learning state
Jan  1 00:00:14 atlwap1 user.info kernel: br-lan: port 3(wds0.1) entering forwarding state

DHCP is off on atlwap2 (supposed to be, right)

I cannot get DHCP addr when the second one (atlwap2) is on. As soon as I shut it off, I get dhcp. It's like they're not talking.

I am posting my configs to be thorough. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance!
