Sorry foor lame, I am beginer in Wi-Fi, but with strong experience in IT smile
I have OpenWRT at WRT54GL. It work's fine two days.
Plese advise a tool for the wireless analysis. I try to use airodump-ng, but alway receive a message:

ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet) - expected ARPHRD_IEEE80211
or ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM instead.  Make sure RFMON is enabled:
run 'ifconfig eth1 up; iwconfig eth1 mode Monitor channel <#>'

I have eth1 in mode "Monitor", but aircrack not working. Help please. What tool I need instead of aircrack?

works in client mode (wl ap 0)
