Hi!
I am trying to get two wrt54gs working together, one as ap and the other as its client.
The fact is that I cannot get the client associates the ap automatically when booting but it associates when I configure the wireless interface via iwconfig commands.
Can anybody tell which scripts initilize the wl interface during bootup?
I trid to find them (some /etc/init.d/SXXsomething) but I couldn't see anything.
Or I have to write my own scripts to startup the wireless connections?
Any help is geatley appreciated.

The mode (ap or client) is set by the nvram variable wl0_mode.
The wl interface is initialized by the program wifi in /etc/init.d/S40network.
