Hi,
I used OpenWRT with a good results with two routers (WRT54GL and WL-500gP) but now I'm stuck with a problem I cannot resolve and need some help from someone smarter .
In one of cases the ISP provides access through pointopoint ethernet connection. Currently there is a linux box working as a gateway. This is how I enable connection:
ifconfig eth0.1 add $MY_PUBLIC_IP -pointopoint $MY_PUBLIC_IP dstaddr $ISP_ROUTER_LOCAL_IP up
as this works well with linux box, it doesn't work with openWRT unfortunately. It is weird as usually just after enabling eth0.1 I can ping $ISP_ROUTER_LOCAL_IP for 10 pings after it drops connection. Sometimes when I restart the interface is works again, sometimes not - looks like more or less random behavoiur.
I've tried white russian 0.9 and kamikaze 7.09 both with brcm-2.4 and brcm47-2.6 images. I've got similar behaviour with all.
Can anyone give me any clue how to make it working? Is this a bug or I've just forgot something?
I can provide more details and run some tests if you need more info - just tell me what to do .
TIA
