Here is my current setup:
I have a Linux firewall (10.0.0.1), with eth0 connected to outside world, eth1 connected to a WAP54g (10.0.0.22) running the latest Linksys firmware. The Linux machine is running DNS + DHCP servers.
I have a WRT54g (v. 4) with White Russian RC4. From the Linux machine I want to be able to ssh to the WRT54g at address 10.0.0.23. I want any computer plugged into the WRT54g lan ports to get an address by dhcp, being served by the Linux machine. Finally, I would like the WRT54g to act as a wireless bridge, and to connect to the WAP54g via a WDS.
Things I tried:
1. I uncommented the two lines from firewall.user, and then rebooted. Still can't ssh through the wireless.
2. Mucked around with S45firewall iptables script. Still no change.
Main questions:
1. Should lan_address also be set to wan_address, or should it be something else at 10.0.0.x? For now I had te set it to 192.168.1.1 so that I can ssh in and inspect things.
2. Can I do WDS between OpenWRT and a Linksys firmware?
Here is the [current] network settings I have on the WRT54g:
