Hey all.

I have installed the latest kamikaze on my linksys WRT54G v3.1 and configured my wireless network the follwing way:

/etc/config/network:

#### Wireless LAN configuration
config interface wireless
    option ifname       "wl0"
    option proto        "static"
    option ipaddr       192.168.4.1
    option netmask      255.255.255.0
/etc/config/wireless:
config wifi-device  wl0
        option type     "broadcom"
        option channel  "5"
        option mode     "bg"
        option hidden   "0"
        option disabled "0"

config wifi-iface
        option device     "wl0"
        option mode       "ap"
        option ssid       "localdomain"
        option encryption "wep"
        option key1       "key removed"

The interface wl0 is pingable from the router and I want to separate the LAN from the Wireless, that's why I did not configure bridging.

Anyone has a clue why I don't see the ssid in my wireless networks on my laptop?

Strange, not it appears in my network list, after I did:

# wl -i wl0 down
# wl -i wl0 up

I though, when you change the config, a restart of the network was enough, or am I wrong?

I have a similar Problem, did you solve it?
My network is configured in ad-hoc Mode but no SSID is shown.
My System is a WRT54GL with my own Kamikaze build on it.

The discussion might have continued from here.
