Hi,
is there an Openwrt package that can enable me to setup an RS232 serial link over two WRT54GL Openwrt wireless network?

Regards.

Can't one just run a twisted-pair cable to connect each antenna port on each WRT54GL so that the two routers can communicate through WiFi with the twisted-pair cable? This way, there is no need to run an extra serial connection.

I can't understand what you are trying to imply. I have 2 WRT54GL Openwrt devices 5km apart connecting wirelessly. I have serial (RS232 Async) devices which I would want to interconnect using the serial ports on my WRT54GL devices, through the Wifi IP network. Before considering off-the-shelve Serial-Over-Ip devices, I am asking if there is any openwrt software package that will enable me acheive my goal.

Regards.

rafit,
don't know if this will do, but have you looked at http://ser2net.sourceforge.net
IIRC, it's avail. as pkg in openwrt

Hi,
I have seen SerialOverIp at http://sourceforge.net/projects/freshmeat_serialoverip/, it's something like this that I need. I will take time to test it on a standard distribution. If it works, I will then try and get it packaged for my project.

Thanks.

IC your point here. You want the two RS232 ports (one on each router) interconnect by means of a WiFi connection.

Hi
I think it's easy to do with standard utilities such as netcat.
start a program that grabs serial port on WRT54G #1 and pipe the output to netcat
start netcat on WRT54G #2 and pipe the output to a program that outputs to the serial port

You might have to do this in each way if you want bidirectional communication.
