Thanks for the guides.  Good info and very informative.

I've been playing with WDS lately (however w/ Atheros + madwifi instead of Broadcom).  I don't remember the exact wireless configuration I used, but I know I only used 1 wireless interface per device (WDS).  I may not have it configured in the best way though.  I noticed each of your routers have 2 wireless interfaces: 1 AP and 1 WDS.  Is this required for Broadcom, or could you just use 1 WDS interface on each router?  If so, can you elaborate on the advantage of using 2 interfaces vs. 1?  Thanks.

Also, does the firewall on the slave router need to be disabled?

Yes.

/etc/init.d/firewall disable
/etc/init.d/firewall stop

The discussion might have continued from here.
