Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
ok solution :
in:
http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/WDSBridge
is sample configuration but is broken
interface working in ap mode must be first turned on and second wds
interfaces
so not linke this:
<broken config>
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
wlanconfig ath1 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode wds
iwconfig ath0 essid "Normal atheros AP" channel 1
iwpriv ath1 wds_add <mac of the peer wds ap>
iwpriv ath1 wds 1
ifconfig ath1 up
ifconfig ath0 up
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 ath1
brctl addif br0 ath0
ifconfig br0 up
</broken config>
<good config>
//Create VAP AP-mode interface
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
//Create VAP WDS-mode interface
wlanconfig ath1 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode wds
//Set Access Point Name and channel
iwconfig ath0 essid "AP" channel xx
//Add remote mac address to wds interface
iwpriv ath1 wds_add <mac of the peer wds ap>
//Turn on wds
iwpriv ath1 wds 1
//Set interface mode 11a/11b/11g
iwpriv ath0 mode <mode>
iwpriv ath1 mode <mode>
//Turn up interfaces
ifconfig ath0 up
ifconfig ath1 up
//Add interfaces to bridge
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 ath0
brctl addif br0 ath1
//Turn on bridge interface
ifconfig br0 up
</good config>
And this config is working with (Mikrotik WDS) and (CA8-4 WDS)
