I have set up my asus wl-500w with kamikaze8.09.2 in wifi client mode like this and its working:

network:
#### VLAN configuration
config switch eth0
option enable 1

config switch_vlan eth0_0
option device "eth0"
option vlan 0
option ports "0 1 2 3 4 5u"

#### Loopback configuration
config interface loopback
option ifname "lo"
option proto static
option ipaddr 127.0.0.1
option netmask 255.0.0.0

#### LAN configuration
config interface lan
option type bridge
option ifname "eth0"
option proto static
option ipaddr 192.168.2.1
option netmask 255.255.255.0

#### WAN configuration
config interface wan
option ifname "eth1"
option proto dhcp

wifi:
config 'wifi-device' 'wl0'
option 'type' 'broadcom'
option 'channel' '10'
option 'disabled' '0'

config 'wifi-iface'
option 'device' 'wl0'
option 'network' 'wan'
option 'mode' 'sta'
option 'ssid' 'z60'
option 'encryption' 'PSK+AES'
option 'key' 'test-test'

but now I'd like to set wifi client with a static ip (e.g. 192.168.1.44) instead of getting an ip by AP (192.168.1.102 by ssid z60) because I need an fixed ip so I can access my router from my z60 network. can someone help me with the settings?
thanks j

You shouldn't specify "option ifname" in WAN configuration unless you want to bridge the wired and wireless interfaces.

#### WAN configuration
config interface        wan
        option proto    static
        option ipaddr   192.168.1.44
        option netmask  255.255.255.0
        option gateway  192.168.1.1
        option dns      '8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4'

Thanks, this is working.
But I have no internet! I can ping my z60 router 192.168.1.1 (and all other machines in the network) but if I ping google.com I get following error: bad address 'google.com'
Is the option dns needed or optional? Right now I havn't set it. Or is it something in the firewall settings? What should it look like?
Thanks for your help

If you can ping a google site like 209.85.135.103 but not www.google.com, then it is your dns. You need to include that line as shown in post 2.

I can't ping this ip. I get this error:
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable

what is wrong? something with my firewall settings? here they are:

config defaults
option syn_flood 1
option input ACCEPT
option output ACCEPT
option forward REJECT

config zone
option name lan
option input ACCEPT
option output ACCEPT
option forward REJECT

config zone
option name wan
option input ACCEPT
option output ACCEPT
option forward REJECT
option masq 1
option mtu_fix 1

config forwarding
option src lan
option dest wan

# We need to accept udp packets on port 68,
# see https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/4108
config rule
option src wan
option proto udp
option dest_port 68
option target ACCEPT

# include a file with users custom iptables rules
config include
option path /etc/firewall.user

I found the solution
@alex: thanks

I changed my wan config to:

#### WAN configuration
config interface        wan
        option proto    static
        option ipaddr   192.168.1.44
        option netmask  255.255.255.0
        option gateway  192.168.1.1
        option dns      192.168.1.1

The discussion might have continued from here.
