hello *,
after installing openwrt everthing works fine. my linksys wrt54g router (v2.2) was running for serveral days.
i did not configured or used my wlan (eth1), but i saw it via ifconfig or iwconfig.
but now, i logged in the router and there is no eth1 anymore!
i did a reboot, but nothing changed!
what´s wrong with it?

ok login to your router
now type
# nvram show | grep eth
you should see something like this:
wl0_ifname=eth1
lan_ifnames=vlan0 eth1 eth2 eth3
http_method=post
size: 11785 bytes (20983 left)
if you don't your router's nvram corrupted
don't worry read documents on this site

hi wireless joe,
thanks for your answer ;-)
my ouput seems to be okay. it looks like yours:
wl0_ifname=eth1
lan_ifnames=vlan0 eth1
size: 8900 bytes (23868 left)
http_method=post
so the nvram should be okay.
what can i do now?

Check the wireless module is loaded :
lsmod |grep wl
wlcompat 15520 0 (unused)
wl 401592 0 (unused)Ensure, you have eth1 UP and RUNNING :
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:66:4D:01:70
inet addr:192.168.1.250 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: 2001:470:1f00:1230::/64 Scope:Global
inet6 addr: 2001:470:1f00:1230::1/64 Scope:Global
inet6 addr: fe80::20f:66ff:fe4d:170/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1And finally, you can still try :
wlconf eth1 down
wlconf eth1 upWhich, in any case, should set up your wireless interface.
Please, also check the dmesg for the wireless card detection :
dmesg |grep eth1
eth1: Broadcom BCM4320 802.11 Wireless Controller 3.60.13.0thanks a lot.
after reinstalling (or installing?) wlcompat and a reboot everthing works fine now.

hello dermath:
if you are playing with a Linksys WRT54G ver_3, with OpenWrt exprimantal you have to take it easy, I just had the same problem today,
so far I reflashed my router 7 times
However I love this little blue bug is a rock hardy, won't give up that easy
Thanks boot_wait

Hi!
I have the same problem. The wlan is not working either on my asus box.
I have ASUS wl-500g box.
I use the experimental build. (http://www.falka.hu/~josephus/openwrt/o … s2-4MB.trx)
I dont want to use (for now) wpa or wep, I want just a working AP;)
My wl0 settings are:

In ASUS wl500G the eth1 is the WAN (adsl for me), eth2 is the WLAN and eth0 is the LAN.

root@OpenWrt:/#What can I do?
What I have missed?
Why the wlconf not use the variables from the nvram? (ssid)
I hope someone can help me.
Best regards,
Khiraly
ps: I have tried this image:
http://openwrt.org/downloads/experiment … s2-4MB.trx
It boot, I can use the internet (through adsl modem), but If I type iwconfig, it hang up, and the power led
begin blinking (and I cant do anything but reflash with an another firmware-image)
I have tried this image too:
http://openwrt.org/downloads/experiment … uashfs.trx
I can use internet. But If I type iwconfig, it hang up, at the eth1 device.
If I type directly the eth2 device:
root@OpenWrt:/# iwconfig eth2
eth2 no wireless extensions.It does not make sens, because the eth2 is normaly my wireless device. eth1 is the wan, and eth0 is the lan.
