[Bridge] wds not working...help needed

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



You probably want to refer to the madwifi list for this.

Recommendations:
Post your script you used to configure the interfaces.
Try not running in repeater mode and create a Vap on one AP
and on the other create a  Vap and a STA.
Bring the STA interface up before brining the Vap up interface.
