There is one wrt54g v2.2 AP1-Linux(192.168.1.249) connected to d-link 2000ap+(Client) - works fine.
I can't normally connect wrt54g v2.2 ClientMode(192.168.1.246) to AP1-LINUX(192.168.1.249).
On SSH it is set like this:

firstboot
reboot
rm /etc/init.d/S45firewall
rm /etc/init.d/S50telnet
nvram mtd erase
reboot
nvram set lan_ifname=br0
nvram set lan_proto=static
nvram set lan_ipaddr=192.168.1.246
nvram set lan_netmask=255.255.255.0
nvram set lan_ifnames="vlan0 eth1"
nvram set wl0_ssid=AP1-LINUX
nvram set wl0_antdiv=-1
nvram set wl0_channel=13

nvram set wl0_mode=wet
nvram set wl0_infra=1
nvram set vlan0hwname=et0
nvram set vlan0ports="0 1 2 3 4 5*"

This is what hapens when WRT54g v2.2 ClientMode is connected to AP1-LINUX:

When i start a download from the network. The speed is 600kb/s (B 11Mbit).
When i download using firefox, it stop after 3-5min. After about 5min it continues.
Ping to 192.168.1.249(AP1-LINUX) works just fine all that time. Even when download is stops.
And everything i try to do on wireless - stops after some time and after a while continues to work.

I tried to ping 192.168.1.246(ClientMode) from the other side of the network (using wireless) - and nothing,
but ping to 192.168.1.27pc witch is connected to AP(ClientMode) shows good ping.
At night when all the pc's connected to 192.168.1.246(ClientMode), at once ssh started to work
and ping to 192.168.1.246 ower wireless also.

I'm sure that antenas and AP1-LINUX is working fine.
I've got another wrt54g v2.2. I've done everything same as on the other one - and the problem is the same.
How can the wrt54g v2.2(ClientMode) be fixed using openwrt ?
Thanks.

The discussion might have continued from here.
