Topic: Can't run as AP after breaking the bridge

Hi all,

The goal was to separate eth1 and lan interfaces, so following all the howtos i've removed the bridge.
After breaking the br0 bridge, i can't use the WRT as AP anymore. Tried almost everything but without any success.
It works as client but no matter what i put in 'wl ap' (0 or 1) somehow it bypasses this setting and continues work as client.

Any help will be appreciated!

This one solved the problem for now:

After starting in AP mode and eth1 in bridge:

brctl delif br0 eth1
ifconfig eth1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

but is there any way to set this via NVRAM?

The discussion might have continued from here.
