Hi - just flashed with experimental - aiming to use my WRT54GV2 as a bridge with no routing. I have this all set up for the switch ports - works fine. I cannot get the wlan to work. wl0_mode is set to ap, all the essid/etc is set, but wlconfig eth1 up does nothing

root@wireless:~# iwconfig eth1 
eth1      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:""  
          Mode:Master  Frequency:2.427 GHz  Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00   
          Tx-Power:22 dBm   
          RTS thr=2347 B   Fragment thr=2346 B   
          Encryption key:****-****-****-****-****-****-****-****-****-****-****-****-****-****-****-****

Any ideas? I tried to build CVS, but i get the make - ran out of virtual memory error (what's up with that?)

I think you are missing wl0_hwaddr=
so set this by: nvram set wl0_hwaddr="00:13:BB:AA:DD:EE" somethng like that

its always good to use Network Stumbler to see any WLAN signals around you

don't worry your radio is working, I can see
Tx-Power:22 dBm

:hah may be your encription key is all **************.. kidding

it's set:

root@wireless:~# nvram get wl0_hwaddr
00:12:17:49:ED:9E

Erasing the nvram fixed it - think the wl_ and wl0_ stuff was causing a conflict. WPA won't work with just setting the vars as per sam's post before, but works fine with a nas binary. Good stuff, thanks!
