I've been running 7.09 on several WRTSL54GS routers for a while, routing from the wireless in station mode to the LAN port. I just tried upgrading to 8.09rc1 brcm47xx (because I wanted a 2.6 kernel), and updated the wireless configuration because it appears that the wireless port is now called wlan0 rather than wl0. However, now the wireless doesn't associate with the AP.
My /etc/config/wireless now contains:
config wifi-device wlan0
option type mac80211
option channel 11
config wifi-iface
option device wlan0
option network lan
option mode sta
option ssid SomeSSID
option encryption psk
option key SomePassword
Is there anything wrong with this? Should I expect it to work, or are more changes necessary? After booting, I get:
root@OpenWrt:~# ifconfig wlan0
