Hi,

This is the brief:
I want the WRT to connect to a WEP wireless network and be able to offer a local WPA network on the same box.

WAN --WiFi-- WRT --Wifi/Switch-- LAN

AFAIK, this is what is commonly called a "Repeater Mode" or a "Wireless Client + AP".
I can easily get it working with DD-WRT, but since I quite HATE that firmware I really need to get it working on OpenWRT!
I've done a lot of tries but I didn't succeed yet. I've also tried recompiling the latest svn and changing kernel+wifi driver.

What am I missing? Any advice?

10x a lot!

It is possible to do such a configuration with Kamikaze.
(Unfortunately I'm experiencing a memory leak which seems to be somehow related to this ap+sta configuration.)

Thanks for your reply, but I've already read and tried the "solution" on that post.. But sadly it didn't seem to work.
This has been the third day nearly-totally concentrated on solving this problem.. And I think I'll have to desist..

Latest trunk didn't work either. (2.6 b43 nor 2.4 bcm43xx). Damn.

Shouldn't this be a "vital" feature for an AP?! Are really Broadcom chipset going deprecated for Atheros?!

Bump?

(I didn't stop my research and tests.. But I still can't get it working!)

I tried even with a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54. No luck.

You need to be more precise on what exactly does not work.
Are you sure your AP's BSSID matches the MAC address of your wl0.1 device?

Yes, everything looked correct. But now I think that this was the answer:

8.09.1 bug fixes:
.fix multi-ssids with WPA on Broadcom (#4777, r15200, r15204)

I'll try again when I'll find some spare time..
