I am trying to setup P2P WDS links between my various boxes.
This is something that I used to have working in the Sveasoft firmware but they have decided to break in the latest release of the firmware and this is the last straw for me with regards that firmware.
I am running WhiteRussian RC4.
I have seperated the wifi and lan and moved the lan configuration onto br1.
I have disabled all wds encryption and iwconfig says the encryption key is off at both sides.
I have a wds0.49153 interface on both ends.
If I try to set an ip address on the wds0 interface it gets removed almost straight away I am guessing that hotplug is coming round and setting the interface back to 0.0.0.0.
Creating a new bridge BR0 allows the interface to come up and putting an ip address onto br0 allows the address to be pingged from the local host but not from the remote host.
I have removed the S45firewall script to make sure there is no firewall running that might be causing problems.
The route for the subnet that I am using is pointing to br0. br0 is showing as having the WDS interface in it. If I try and ping the other host then the counters on br0 increase but I dont see any packet counters increasing for traffic going down the wds0.49153 link.
I have set the boardflags to be 0x0118 and 0x0188 rather than the default 0x0318 and 0x0388.
If I do a logread then I see the following:-
Dec 1 04:55:38 (none) kern.info kernel: device wds0.49153 entered promiscuous mode
Dec 1 04:55:38 (none) kern.info kernel: br0: port 1(wds0.49153) entering learning state
Dec 1 04:55:43 (none) kern.info kernel: br0: port 1(wds0.49153) entering disabled state
Dec 1 04:55:43 (none) kern.info kernel: br0: port 1(wds0.49153) entering disabled state
Dec 1 04:55:43 (none) kern.info kernel: device wds0.49153 left promiscuous mode
This repeats every 5 seconds so I am guessing that the WDS link is not coming up properly.
Has anyone got any other suggestions as to where my problem might be or other things that I could try to try and get this to work?
