Stefan, Are you still having this issue? I was, but it is fixed in 12.09, and I am trying to work out where, exactly, the fix occurred. It looks like nobody responded to your email (until now). Any input you, or anyone else, has would be greatly appreciated. I'm about to start wading through the openwrt BTS. To #openwrt on irc.freenode.net: | Anybody ever run across ARP not propagating to wifi devices across a | wired/wifi bridge? | | I see it in 10.03.01rc4, but not in 12.09. The problem is, | $customer is using some hobbyist board that doesn't use stock openwrt, | so I want to track down the fix so they can apply it to their fork. Symptoms present on Gateworks GW2347 as at r11689 (in-house svn repo) Symptoms present on TP-Link 1043ND as at 10.03.1-rc4, r24045 (svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/backfire) Symptoms absent on TP-Link 1043ND as at 12.09, r36088 (svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/attitude_adjustment) Allegedly in-house repo is based off http://svn.gateworks.com/generic/trunk r402. Allegedly gateworks repo is based off svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk r33965. I *think* in both cases, the fork simply committed upstream-as-at-N as a monolithic commit, rather than importing all the commits or using externals or whatever. Symptoms: - as a wired or wifi device, attempt to ping a wifi device. ARP fails. tcpdump on AP indicates in some cases ARP never hits the AP, in other cases it does but no reply is seen. - wifi devices associated with different APs can ARP each other. - wifi device can ARP a wired device. _______________________________________________ openwrt-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-users
