Topic: Wl-500gP as wlan client for Dukath (Wireless network at Uni Karlsruhe)

Hi,
did anybody get openwrt on a wl-500g Premium to work with the dukath network in Karlsruhe.

I trying to set up openwrt as a wlan dhcp client, so that it recieves a DHCP answer from an AP and forwards my local Lan via masquerading to the internet.

Any hints ?




thx in advance

Hi,
i solved the problem.
It looks like i screwed my nvram settings, with too much different Firmwares.
I tried DD-WRT and Freewrt before i installed Openwrt (kamikaze) and with every firmware i made some changes with nvram tool for testing purposes.

After resetting nvram settings and reflshing with openwrt, it works quickly like i wanted.


"mtd -r erase nvram"
"cd /tmp"
"wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/7.06/brcm-2.4/openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx"
"mtd -e linux -r write openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx linux"

> reboot

change /etc/config/wireless with your settings

change /etc/config/network
#### WAN configuration
config interface        wan
        option ifname   "wl0"
        option proto    dhcp

ifup wan; wifi


done
