Hello,
Im having a strange problem with my WRT54G V2. The wireless signal is unstable and I can't connect. If I try to scan with netstumbler I get the following:

I already tried to reboot the router without success.

Here's my nvram config for wireless:

wl0_akm=psk psk2
wl0_infra=1
wl0_ifname=eth1
wl0_mode=ap
wl0_ssid=MyHome
wl0id=0x4320
wl0_closed=0
wl0gpio2=0
wl0gpio3=0
wl0_wpa_psk=[cut]
wl0_radio=1
wl0_channel=11
wl0_crypto=tkip

Here's some interesting log messages:

Normal, and unrelated. (these aren't actually errors)

hmmm... I don't think I have also a WL500Gp and if I connect this One, the wireless works, the problem is that signal is weak (I already opened a thread for this).

The discussion might have continued from here.
