Here is the config with this patch. I think naming the wifi devices 'wlan0' at least on mac80211 would be a really bad choice. There already exists some confusion between the wifi-device (meaning the radio configuration) and the wifi-iface (meaning the virtual interface). Naming the wifi-device after the interface name of the virtual interface would only add to that confusion.

By the way, that patch is only necessary to work around wrong settings in the config. You set network.wl0.ifname=wl0, and that part is unnecessary and wrong. Just leave out the ifname and let the wireless scripts bring up the network config. >> > That is testet with backfire branch and wrt54gl and WHR-G54S. >> >> Are you sure about that?

I think that's not because of an inherent issue with 'wl0', I think it may be caused by the fact that you named one of your network configurations the same as the wifi-device. - Felix _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
