Topic: WGT634U WPA and USB storage

Hi there,

today I wanted to upgrade my WGT634U from some old 5xxx version to Kamikaze 7.09. Got the code, compiled without problems, flashed and crashed. - CFE boot was OK, but Linux only printed some unreadable crap and restarted immediately. Looks like a problem in my build environment, because the official binaries work. Does someone else have a clue why this could happen?

So I thought who needs 7.09 anyway - let's head straight to bleeding edge. Got the code compiled and flashed. No crash here, but two problems at the moment:
- /sbin/usb-storage is completely broken. It can and does not work so I wonder how this crap could get in and why nobody noticed? I think I'm able to correct this script at least for my personal needs.

- How am I supposed to have WPA in AP mode? The madwifi.sh script doesn't look really promising. Support for wpa_supplicant is only supported for WDS mode as I can see and I remember that hostapd didn't work out of the box in my old version. Should it work now?

Sure that works. See the documentation on how to use it.

If anyone is interested, I have submitted my usb-storage version as patch in ticket #3551.
And WPA really worked without problems after installing hostapd-mini.

The discussion might have continued from here.
