Hello,

I'm using freewrt since some time as cheap embedded system.

Now I want to use it also as wireless base station and bridge to
the wired network.

Without encryption the connection via wlan works. But with encryption
I get a connection then the connection is lost again and so on.

This can be reproduced with XP and Mac OS X.

Below is my config file:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# WLAN with WPA2, MAC-Filter and WLAN-Speedup
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
       wireless-type broadcom
       wireless-country DE
       wireless-mode ap
       wireless-ssid myssid
       wireless-channel 11
       wireless-security wpa-psk
       wireless-authorization psk psk2
       wireless-encryption aes+tkip
       wireless-wpa-key mypw
       wireless-bridge-if br0

# Bridging WLAN<->LAN
auto eth0.0
iface eth0.0 inet manual
       switch-ports 0 1 2 3 5*
#
# should be always the last configured interface, it depends
# on interfaces in bridge-ifaces
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
       bridge-ifaces eth0.0 eth1
       address 192.168.6.120
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       broadcast +



This is what my Mac prints into its log file:

ifconfig shows:

Has anyone an idea what the problem is?

Thanks,
