Howdy all.
I'm using leaf/wisp-dist for the first time, hoping to setup two WRAP
boards as a real simple transparent 802.11a bridge. This seems
straightforward; on each board I setup eth0 and ath0 with the same IP
(in other words, one IP per WRAP), then turned on proxy-arp bridging,
and went on to the wireless settings. But when I go to set the channel,
my only choice in the list is "Not Set." If I drop to the shell and do
`iwconfig ath0 channel 1`, something odd happens; on one of the boards
(the one with wifi set to client) it just gives me my prompt back (like
it did something, although I can't tell from iwconfig that it did), but
on the other (ap) it says:
Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) :
SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument.
On both radios, an `iwlist channel` returns this:
ath0 0 channels
Current Frequency:5.2GHz
...the iwconfig doesn't look pretty either:

...needless to say, the overal problem is that the radios don't talk ;-).
Anybody have some advice here?
Thanks
