Hello Pavel,
 
Sorry that I mistakenly wrote as WDS bridge. Actually I want to create a WDS link as said in the
user docs http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/WDSBridge under alternate options.
 
Here is what I am doing exactly.
 
root <at> OpenWrt:/# wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
ath0
root <at> OpenWrt:/# brctl addbr br0
br0: Dropping NETIF_F_UFO since no NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature.
root <at> OpenWrt:/# iwpriv ath0 mode 3
root <at> OpenWrt:/# iwconfig ath0 essid "SaraAP" channel 6
root <at> OpenWrt:/# iwpriv ath0 wds 1
root <at> OpenWrt:/# ifconfig ath0 up
root <at> OpenWrt:/# brctl addif br0 ath0
device ath0 entered promiscuous mode
root <at> OpenWrt:/# ifconfig br0 10.10.1.1 up
br0: port 1(ath0) entering learning state
root <at> OpenWrt:/#
root <at> OpenWrt:/#
root <at> OpenWrt:/# wlanconfig ath1 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode wds
wlanconfig: ioctl: Input/output error
root <at> OpenWrt:/#
 
Does OpenWRT kamikaze has any impact over WDS bridging ?
