Hi!

I've just buy a WRT54GS v1.1 and installed the latest experimental build avaible:
Linux OpenWrt 2.4.30 #1 Sat Apr 23 18:13:56 EDT 2005 mips unknown
I've installed the wl tool from here:
http://wrt54g.free.fr/openwrt/b4/ipkg/

When I try to issue a scan command (wl scan), I have this message:
root@OpenWrt:/etc# wl scan
eth1: Invalid argument
scan    Initiate an active scan across all channels.
        Optional SSID argument specifies a particular SSID to scan.
        With no SSID argument, a broadcast SSID scan is performed.

I've try the reseting to default command (mtd erase nvram) and after a boot in falsafe mode to erase the j2ffs partition (firstboot) but the problem is still here.

Any idea ?
Thanks you for your help.

I have recieved this error when the wrt is not in client mode. When placed in the client mode as oposed to ap mode, it works as expected.

commands:
wl ap 0

or

nvram set wl0_mode=sta
nvram commit
reboot

After the wrt is in client mode, then you can run wl scan and it should work.

I've try to put the wrt in client mode with the command nvram set wl0_mode=sta but it's the same.

Here is my nvram:

Thanks for your help.

What happens when you type "wl ap"? It should return somthing similar to "ap mode is 0 (off)"

Randy

It returns 0.

root@OpenWrt:~# wl ap
ap is 0 (off)

Olivier

Another strange think, the power led is flashing...

Don't understand anythink... If you have an idea...

Thanks for your help.
