I got wireless WAN-Client to my AP working great on my WRT54GS v3.  But when I try to tidy-up the setup, eliminating unneeded bridges mostly, the connection struggles badly.  It works but something definitely isn't right.

Does an expert see my problem?  TIA

This works great:

/etc/config/network
config switch eth0
    option vlan0    "0 1 2 3 5*"
    option vlan1    "4 5"

config interface loopback
    option ifname    "lo"
    option proto    static
    option ipaddr    127.0.0.1
    option netmask    255.0.0.0

config interface lan
    option type     bridge
    option ifname    "eth0.0"
    option proto    static
    option ipaddr    192.168.1.10
    option netmask    255.255.255.0

config interface    wan
    option type     bridge
    option ifname    "eth0.1"
    option proto    dhcp

/etc/config/wireless
config wifi-device  wl0
    option type     broadcom
    option channel  1

config wifi-iface
    option    device    wl0
    option    network    wan
    option    mode    sta
    option    ssid    myssid
    option    encryption    psk1
    option    key    mykey

This struggles badly:

/etc/config/network
config switch eth0
    option vlan0    "0 1 2 3 5*"
    option vlan1    "4 5"

config interface loopback
    option ifname    "lo"
    option proto    static
    option ipaddr    127.0.0.1
    option netmask    255.0.0.0

config interface lan
    option ifname    "eth0.0"
    option proto    static
    option ipaddr    192.168.1.10
    option netmask    255.255.255.0

config interface    wan
    option ifname    wl0
    option proto    dhcp

/etc/config/wireless
config wifi-device  wl0
    option type     broadcom
    option channel  1

config wifi-iface
    option    device    wl0
    option    network    wan
    option    mode    sta
    option    ssid    myssid
    option    encryption    psk1
    option    key    mykey

EDIT: I find the WAN bridge is needed for some reason.  Is this an absolute for wl0 to exist only in a bridge?  It struggles only when trying to define wan as wl0.
