Hi,
Me again with the same wlan problems. Maybe these symptoms look familiar
to someone.
Because I still was not able to get WLAN mit WPA running, I tried a
simpler setup today with WEP128 and without a bridge:
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet static
address 192.168.37.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
wireless-type broadcom
wireless-mode ap
wireless-ssid ailis
wireless-country DE
wireless-security wep
wireless-channel 3
wireless-key 1
wireless-key1 abcdefghijklm
wireless-macmode 0
When I restart the network with "/etc/init.d/S40network restart" then it
still gives me the messages I reported in my previous mail but also says:
Setting country code "DE"
wsec is 1 (on)
Setting SSID "ailis"
So it looks like it has used the ssid from the interfaces file. But if I
ask for the ssid then it gives me a different one (An old one which was
used when the router was still working with an older version of FreeWRT):
# wl ssid
Current SSID: "hellsgate"
When I set the ssid manually with "wl ssid ailis" then it's correctly
set. And after fixing another problem with "wl wep on" (Don't know why
WEP is still off because the interfaces file says "wireless-security
wep") then the WLAN is working correctly. But when I restart the network
again then the ssid is reseted to "hellsgate" and WEP is turned off again.
I can see the old (wrong) ssid in nvram:
# nvram show | grep ssid
wl0_ssid=default
size: 11766 bytes (21002 left)
wl_ssid=hellsgate
wl0_guest_ssid_1=guest
wl0_ssid2=default
wl_ssid2=hellsgate
wl_guest_ssid_1=guest
And I also can see this WEP setting in nvram:
# nvram show | grep wep=
size: 11766 bytes (21002 left)
wl0_wep=disabled
wl_wep=disabled
So what does this mean? That I have some obsolete settings in nvram
which are overriding settings from the interfaces file? If yes, how can
I reset my nvram so it no longer disturbs FreeWRT? Sure, I could remove
the settings one by one but who knows how many obsolete settings there
are which may also be the reason for my WPA problems.
I have no problem losing all of my current settings. So how can I
"totally reset" the router and the NVRAM so I can make a fresh reinstall
of FreeWRT which then hopefully works?
