I have a WHR-G54S running WHITE RUSSIAN (0.9). I need it to be a client/bridge so my Linux desktop can get IP leases through it and the D-Link WAP I have running downstairs. The D-Link WAP is connected via ethernet to my FreeBSD gateway box which is the (sole) dhcpd server for the entire LAN. After much effort the Buffalo device can get a dhcp lease for itself, but can't seem to forward dhcp requests up the chain to FreeBSD. It can ping out to the Internet if I leave ping running for a several minutes. Strange. Please don't tell me WPA is still broken on the Broadcom
chips.
I can only ssh login to the device using a statically configured port. It cannot be accessed over the IP it gets from my server. Thanks for any help and apologies in advance if I missed the obvious answer in the docs.
