Hi everyone!
First of all, thank you for this firmware, overall I like it quite a lot
even though it is all console-based and normally I am a gui-guy.
I recently installed FreeWRT 1.0.3 out of the tar-archive from the
freewrt-website on my ASUS WL500gP. So far everything is fine with one
exception.
I can't get my wireless to work reasonably. With the ASUS firmware I ran
the router on WPA and had 2 laptops that connected all fine.
Now I seem not to be able to either get WP2, WPA or WEP running reliably
with any of these laptops (both Windows XP SP3)
In the following the symptoms:
Using WPA2 and WPA:
It seems to be connected and starts receiving a network address (IP)
however this step seems to fail as
the connection falls back to disconnected.
I wonder wether initiation of the dhcp IP address reception means that
authentication/authorization on wlan level alread has completed?
Using WEP:
Windows reports me not being connected, however I can ping machines in
the Internet and do nslookups as well as use a webbrowser and I got a
dhcp-based ip-address.
However after a while the connection drops.
I tried different configurations and after several days are now a bit
clueless on how to identify the problem.
I also tried resetting my nvram, because I read somewhere that this
might override the /etc/network/interfaces settings.
Using unsecure wireless everything works fine, dhcp is providing an IP.
I am running dnsmasq as dhcp/dns.
My wireless config follows:
auto eth0.0
iface eth0.0 inet manual
switch-ports 1 2 3 4 5*
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet manual
wireless-type broadcom
wireless-country DE
wireless-mode ap
wireless-ssid Askalon
wireless-channel 5
# wireless-security wep
# wireless-encryption wep
wireless-security wpa-psk
wireless-gmode auto
wireless-authorization psk psk2
wireless-encryption aes+tkip
# wireless-wpa-key <some-key>
# wireless-key 1
# wireless-key1 <some-wep-key>
# wireless-macmode 0
# wireless-maclist <mac1> <mac2>
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
bridge-ifaces eth0.0 eth2
address 192.168.24.254
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast +
To make changes effective on the wlan, i normally use
ifdown eth2
ifup eth2
Does anybody have any hint on where I could evaluate further?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Michael
