This is interesting:
root@OpenWrt:/etc/init.d# ifup wifi
### ifup : ignored _proto="wifi" (not supported)
ifconfig doesn't show eth1 up. iwconfig shows eth1 as being set to the correct channel and ESSID.
I can manually bring up eth1 with ifconfig, and then everything works.
Any other info needed to help pinpoint the problem?
Did you set the wifi_... nvram variables?

Please provide the result of the following commands:
nvram show | grep "^wifi" | sortroot@OpenWrt:~# nvram show |grep "^wifi" |sort

wifi_ifname=eth1
root@OpenWrt:~#Hm, I'm a bit confused about when to set the wifi_ variables, and when to leave them unset. Should wifi_ifname be unset for the default bridging configuration, or should it be set as I have it?
wifi_* variables are not needed in a default ap configuration with lan & wifi bridged
Very good. Unset the variable, "ifup wifi" now works properly. Thanks!
