Hi there.

Ive some Problems configuring OpenWRT Kamikaze 7.07 on an Asus WL-500g Premium.
I dont know which are the right Interfaces because they seems to be differenz with Kamikaze compared to the OpenWRT Books Article "Network Interfaces". However. i even cant see the eth2 Interface which should be the Wifi-Adapter.

Here's my ifconfig -a:

I wonder, because the hidden xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx Mac Address means its the same on every Interface with the "xx".
The only different is yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy from eth1. So, this is the Wifi? Wheres the "not connected" Interface from the Wiki OpenWRT Book?

Hopefully someone can help me to configure it for a standard pppoe Internet connection. WLAN should be Bridged with the LAN for now. Ill change this, if my "problem" isnt anymore

Hello "Klez",

You are using Kamikaze with the 2.4 Kernel, and not the 2.6 Kernel, aren't you?

From reading the Forums here, I don't think the Broadcom WiFi card in the WL-500gP is supported in the 2.6 Kernel yet.

Take Care,

Hi. Thx for the fast reply. Yes, im using Kernel 2.4.

I already readed that there are some Problems with Kernel 2.6

I believe some people have swapped the broadcom mini-pci card in the Asus WL500G Premium with an Atheros based wifi mini-pci card to get around the problem of the 2.6 kernel not working with the broadcom based wifi, as mentioned in http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=54052
I can't vouch for it working correctly though as I am yet to try it.

Cheers

Yes i know. They changed the adapter. But with Kernel 2.4 (which is what im using) it should work i think.
My Problem is, that i dont know whats the interfaces are.

I think eth0 is connected to the Switch. eth0.0 is whats vlan0 shown here
eth0.1 is vlan1 then and eth1 should be the Wifi Interface i think.

But i wonder why they all have the same MAC Adress (beside eth1)!?
If eth0.1 is vlan1 which is bound to the "WAN", why it hasnt its own Mac like in DD-WRT for example?

Is it right?

Apparently, I need the AirPrime package to interface a USB720 EVDO Modem to the WL-500gP for Internet access, so I'll have to use the 2.6 Kernel ... which means replacing the Broadcom Wifi Card with an Atheros card.

I ordered an Atheros WiFi card from an eBay seller on yesterday.  When it gets here later this week or next, I'll put in in the WL-500gP.  And then the fun of installing & configuring OpenWRT will begin for me!

Take Care,
