seems wds was deleted from ieee80211_scan.c

so I guess in /etc/config/wireless
should maybe look like

/etc/init.d/network restart
Configuration file: /var/run/hostapd-ath0.conf
Configuration file: /var/run/hostapd-ath1.conf

but WDS does not work
brctl show
has eth0.0 ath0 ath1 no wds

WDS works fine for me on WGT634U. Took me a while to get it configured. Works with all the stock current svn init scripts. I have it set up with 3 APs. Each client (non wired) AP is set to it the BSSID of the wired AP. I bridge all the interfaces to LAN, and handle network centric type stuff off the WGTs on an IPCop box. I configure lan in /etc/config/network for whatever it needs to be on the wgts. Works for both dhcp and static. I run vpns instead of doing WPA or WEP, so no encryption at the AP layer. I have no idea if this is the "right" way to do it, but it works for me.

WIRED AP [AP0]:

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/config/wireless
config wifi-device wifi0
option type atheros
option channel 1
option mode 2

config wifi-iface
option device wifi0
option network lan
option mode ap
option ssid AP0
option hidden 0
option encryption none
config wifi-iface
option device wifi0
option network lan
option mode wds
option ssid wds
option hidden 0
option encryption none
option bssid [MAC of AP1]
config wifi-iface
option device wifi0
option network lan
option mode wds
option ssid wds
option hidden 0
option encryption none
option bssid [MAC of AP2]

root@OpenWrt:~#

CLIENT AP (Both are the same except for SSID of the first wifi-iface):

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/config/wireless
config wifi-device wifi0
option type atheros
option channel 1
option mode 2

config wifi-iface
option device wifi0
option network lan

Same old Shit No Workee, well I'll give up for a month or so maybe things will just get fixed
I'm just bruned out on this crap NetGear WGT634u
Stay with my WRT54G/GS/SL on networking

it reboots OK but when you restart the network things get ugly requires a power off to recover. BUTT UGLY

I'm not sure what you are trying to do but WDS with wep works for me using a wgt634u (Kamikaze r6828) and an ASUS WL-500g Deluxe (WHITERUSSIAN RC5).

WDS and Atheros WiFi is still broken. No connection between my Fonera and my Soekris net4801 with CM9 WiFi card. I think I'll wait another 1000 Kamikaze revisions until I try again :(

Why is the bssid the same for both devices "option bssid 00:18:84:14:39:95"

Ah, right. Forgot to edit my posting. I changed 'option bssid ...' and WDS works now. But only without encryption. Seems WPA2 isn't implemented in madwifi.sh yet I don't know about WEP

I'll try this again if Kamikaze reached revision 8000.

I have three WRT54GS and one WRTSL54GS woking WDS mode but this rag netgear will not hit a lick!!!!!

If I change ( option mode wds ) to ( option mode sta ) it works just fine, but WDS is a BUMMER!

wds is not supported in madwifi

WRTSL54GS image is Thibor 17rc3
1 WRT54GS Tomatoe 1.06
2 WRT54GS white rc6

I've got the same problem.
I am trying to set up a second wireless networ to connect an Airport exress to my network through wds.

My AP config is Netgear WGT634U with Kamikaze 7.09

When I try to launch the Wifi it gives :
Configuration file: /var/run/hostapd-ath0.conf
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :

Any one could help ?
