Greetings,

I try from time to time with the newest snapshot to realize multiple SSIDS on my WRT54GL.
It is the version: KAMIKAZE (bleeding edge, r12642), the snapshot from 22.Sept.2008
This time the problem is as follows:

Content of /etc/config/wireless:
config wifi-device  wl0
        option type     broadcom
        option channel  9

config wifi-iface
        option device   wl0
        option network  llan
        option mode     ap
        option ssid "ABAK"
        option encryption psk2
        option key "key1key1key1key1key1key1"

config wifi-iface
        option device   wl0
        option network  dlan
        option mode     ap
        option ssid "LABAK"
        option encryption psk2
        option key "key2key2key2key2key2key2"

In the logread after reboot I see this message:

-> Jan  1 00:00:28 router user.info : Command 'set ssid' failed: -1

And when I do this:

#wifi down
#wifi up
-> Command 'set ssid' failed: -1

Here is the output from:
#iwconfig

and here the output from:

I tried to understand the concept of bringing up the wifi interfaces, but I have to say the code is to difficult for me. But I can say, that the call:

--->
..
$vif_post_up
..
<----

in /lib/wifi/broadcom.sh

comes to early. I tried something with wlc, and you have to give the vifs their configuration before you bring it up. So I put this call after the call:

-->
$vif_do_up
$vif_post_up
<---

After this, I dont get the errormessage above anymore.

But it doesnt work either. I can connect to the first SSID, but not to the second. I looked into the code of wlc and saw, that setting the ssid for vif0 and vif1,2,3 is different. I dont have any Idea anymore how to fix it. Any help would be fine.

Thanks,

Dietrich

Fighting a similar problem.   Unable to get wifi configured and working using WPA encryption.   Was able to get wifi to work with WEP.    First problem I found was MD5sum did not match calculated sum on   /downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/brcm47xx/packages/, package wpa-supplicant_0.6.3-1_mipsel.ipk .   I think you also need a nas package that was not on   /downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/brcm47xx/packages  and wpa-cli_0.6.3-1_mipsel.ipk (which didn't want to load).

didiboo - I don't know if this is the issue, but is nas running with the right parameters for each virtual SSID? You can check with "ps w | grep nas". I found that while one instance of nas would start automatically, I had to manually start one for the second SSID if I wanted it. Parameters are at http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/nas

Wix - are you using the Atheros wireless, or Broadcom? didiboo is using Broadcom, which uses "nas". Atheros uses wpa_supplicant. (if you have an interface named wl0, you have Broadcom. ath0, Atheros.)

I can confirm multiple SSID's on r12959 and r12642 doesn't work.  It doesn't matter if they're wpa, wep or unencrypted.  Hopefully this can be fixed.
