Hi,
I have setup a device here as AP client.
device info -> http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Har … A8-4_CE8-1
I wanted it to be a transparent client. The unit has only one wired port and one radio.
When I run wpa_supplicant without anything connected to the wired port, I can easily reach the web interface of the client.
As soon as I connect something to the wired port, my bridge goes down and my wpa_supplicant disconnects.
Here is some output from my serial console:
Configuring MAC for full duplex
br-lan: port 2(ath0) entering disabled state
br-lan: port 2(ath0) entering learning state
br-lan: topology change detected, propagating
br-lan: port 2(ath0) entering forwarding state

br-lan: port 2(ath0) entering disabled state

....
And from wpa_cli:

As soon I disconnect my wired port, I get acces back to my client's web interface through wireless. (I have no loop setup, the pc I connect to the client's wired port is a stand alone pc, no other connection on it !!! )
Can someone explain this behavior?
BTW: I have no iptables running on the client. So a straight forward solution for a routed client that acts transparent would be great as well. If this could solve my problem, I'm happy to put iptables on it.
Kind regards
