installed 7.09 on the wgt54r 2.2

1. have noticed that if I disable essid broadcast then it is not possible to reach the router via wireless interface, only via lan ports. There is no even ping. Is it a feature or a bug?

2. Was unable to connect to the router from win xp sp2 if psk2 encryption mode is set. If I use just psk everything works. Is there some additional settings to be used to make it working? Or may be the host computer cannot handle the aes?

3. webif2 tried to reach the internet during installation and failed because there is no inet connection. Although the installation was successful it wasn't possible to see what additional packages it tried to install. So I've seen the path to the package without the package name. The same thing happen if I try to install something from the webif interface. So why to hide the package name then?

thank you

That's a feature.

This issue has been fixed on snapshot version (r9355 or later), as you can read at http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=12206

Webif tries to use the internet connection to download the whole list of the available applications. If there isn't any internet connection, Webif only knows the packages installed on your system

um, is it possible to get around it?

I don't know, I'm pretty ignorant about that, maybe something can tell you more exactly.
If you try to associate to the AP without making a site survey before, it doesn't work?

ah, now I know what you mean. The problem is with the host machine not with the router. OK thank you

I think in this way the AP is simply hidden. Try and let me know, I never made this test

one more question. Although iwlist shows 14 available channels I can only use 11 channels. Somehow country setting is broken again. This problem was fixed in one of the white russian release and now it is back. Is it to fixed in next releases or there is a workaround?

anyone?
