I have a Ubiquiti WDS access point (PowerStation2 EXT) presumably
running MadWifi drivers? and a WRT54GL WDS station running OpenWrt
10.03.1 and mac80211 drivers. The two interoperate pretty well: I can
communicate just fine *from* devices plugged into the station *to*
devices connected to the access point. And if I first manually add ARP
entries for devices plugged into the station, then I can communicate
*from* devices connected to the access point *to* devices plugged into
the station
But not if I don't first manually add ARP entries :-( If I plug my
laptop into the station and run Wireshark, I see some ARP requests from
devices connected to the access point, but I am missing ARP requests
from some devices
Station is running stock OpenWrt 10.03.1, except that I added "option
wds 1" to "config wifi-iface" in /etc/config/wireless. To successfully
communicate *from* devices connected to the access point *to* devices
plugged into the station, I manually add ARP entries with, e.g. if my
laptop IP is 172.21.0.109 and MAC is 00:23:54:f4:d8:79:
> $ sudo arp -s 172.21.0.109 00:23:54:f4:d8:79
What can I try to avoid manually adding ARP entries?
