Comment (by anonymous):
I use ath1 to be AP and ath0 to be sta.[[BR]]
here is my script:[[BR]]
[[BR]]
#!/bin/sh[[BR]]
wlanconfig ath1 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap[[BR]]
sleep 3s[[BR]]
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta nosbeacon[[BR]]
sleep 3s[[BR]]
iwconfig ath0 essid someap[[BR]]
iwconfig ath1 essid someotherap[[BR]]
ifconfig ath0 up[[BR]]
sleep 2s[[BR]]
/etc/init.d/killerwall stop[[BR]]
dhcpcd ath0[[BR]]
ifconfig ath1 192.168.1.1 up[[BR]]
dhcpd[[BR]]
firestarter[[BR]]
[[BR]]
which worked fine is the signal was ok. If the signal was too low, it
would crash as soon as dhcpcd would terminate. (because it calls ifconfig
ath0 down?)[[BR]]
[[BR]]
The following also crashed the computer, but everytime (I had made an
error when editing the script, I replaced the wrong command):[[BR]]
[[BR]]
#!/bin/sh[[BR]]
wlanconfig ath1 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap[[BR]]
sleep 3s[[BR]]
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta nosbeacon[[BR]]
sleep 3s[[BR]]
iwconfig ath0 essid someap[[BR]]
iwconfig ath1 essid someotherap[[BR]]
ifconfig ath0 up[[BR]]
sleep 2s[[BR]]
/etc/init.d/killerwall stop[[BR]]
dhcpcd ath0[[BR]]
ifconfig ath1 192.168.1.1 up[[BR]]
pump -i ath0[[BR]]
firestarter[[BR]]
[[BR]]
If I brought down ath0 (sta) or destroyed it before ath1 (ap), it'd
crash.[[BR]]
[[BR]]
Also, too many connection drops caused it to crash as well.[[BR]]
