OpenWrt Forum Archive

I am attempting to set up a wireless bridge to an outbuilding that I use as an office. I have a WRT54G (V8) in the house running Linksys's software (VxWorks) as the AP. I have been trying for the past week or more to get the WRT54GL I purchased to act as a wireless bridge in my network. I have scoured the documentation and the forums, trying anything and everything to get it to work. The network is supposed to be this:

Internet --------------- Wireless ----------------
=========== | WRT54G |------------------------------| WRT54GL |=====(Wired Client(s))
--------------- ----------------
VxWorks OpenWRT
(Version 8.0.5) (Kamikaze 7.09)

The WRT54G is using WPA Personal (i.e PSK) for security with a 16 character key and AES encryption. I have tried to set PSK up on the WRT54GL.

This is my network configuration file

#### VLAN configuration 
config switch eth0
        option vlan0    "0 1 2 3 5*"
        option vlan1    "4 5"


#### Loopback configuration
config interface loopback
        option ifname   "lo"
        option proto    static
        option ipaddr   127.0.0.1
        option netmask  255.0.0.0


#### LAN configuration
config interface lan
        option type     bridge
        option network  lan
        option ifname   "eth0.0 wl0"
        option proto    static
        option ipaddr   192.168.59.24
        option netmask  255.255.255.0
        option gateway  192.168.59.1


#### WAN configuration
#config interface       wan
        option ifname   "eth0.1"
#       option proto    dhcp
        option proto    static
        option ipaddr   192.168.59.20
        option netmask  255.255.255.0

This is my wireless file (the key is masked):

config wifi-device  wl0
        option type     broadcom
        option channel  6 

        # REMOVE THIS LINE TO ENABLE WIFI:
#       option disabled 1

config wifi-iface
        option device   wl0
        option network  lan
        option mode     sta
        option ssid     "linksys"
        option encryption psk 
        option key      "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

This is the output of "iwlist scanning"

wl0   Scan completed :

                              12 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s

Here is the current output of iwconfig

I note that nas is not running. I have not touched dnsmasq. What am I doing wrong? Can I get Kamikaze 7.09 to do what I want? From some comments in the Forum, do I drop back to White Russian?

Thanks
