As far as I know, it should be working in the OpenWrt madwifi package (you need to configure it through /etc/config/wireless). The WDS implementation based on wlanmode wds (used to set up a link between two APs) is indeed broken, and it has been for a long time, so just use the AP/STA based one. Aside from that, mac80211 has an implementation that is compatible to the one used in the OpenWrt madwifi, so maybe you should give ath5k a try as well. - Felix _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
