Hi, I want to use an Asus WL-500gP with FreeWRT (this is a rev1 I guess - FreeWRT boots without problems). I managed to install the firmware and basic things (network, DHCP) do work. Currently I have some problems setting up WLAN.
In the end I like to use the Asus as a WPA *client* (preferrably WPA2 although this is by no means a mandatory requirement). I'm prepared to change the broadcom mini pci WLAN card with an Atheros-based on (Tp-Link TL-WN560G, AR5212 [1]) as I read in some OpenWRT docs that several people tried without success when using the nas utility. So I switched the WLAN card already and it seems to be recognized in FreeWRT 1.0.3: # logread ...

After booting there is no athX device (but some log error about eth2 not being
present) so I guess I have to set up it manually:
# wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
# iwconfig ath0 essid "foo" channel 3
After that iwconfig shows a device
ath0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"foo"

Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0

But as you can see, Tx-Power is 0 so this won't work. How can I complete the
setup?
Thanks for helping :-)
