Encryption key is only on for WEP, AFAIK. You are using WPA/WPA2 and you should see a NAS daemon running. > CAVEAT #2: The setup does not seem stable.

Would be nice to hear if you get it running stable or not. The wl-Binary driver is the same version as in OpenWrt whiterussian rc5, so it should be at least as stable as that. wl utility is from rc5, and is directly from Broadcom. So the original firmware use this tool to configure wireless parameters. bye Waldemar -- don't open your wrt, free it http://www.freewrt.org _______________________________________________ freewrt-users mailing list [email protected] https://www.freewrt.org/lists/listinfo/freewrt-users
