Thanks so much for your howto. It is much clearer than any of the official OpenWrt documentation.

One thing I noticed on my pair of WRT54GL routers is that a soft reboot often prevents the WDS link from working, and you can only recover it by pulling the power out of the back of the router and then reconnecting. This cost me hours of frustrated editing of configuration files.

Hi,
I have had some problems when MAC address was configured with upper case characters with kamikaze 8.09.1. I would also mention how to generated good PSK2 password. I found this link helpful:

http://oldwiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs%282f%29KamikazeConfiguration%282f%29WiFiEncryption.html.

opkg install pwgen && pwgen –secure 63 1

is working on this platform.

Hi,
I find kamikaze 8.08.1 useless with psk2 encryption. I can’t even connect to the ap with psk2 or wep enabled. I’ve flashed my routers with this version, then with my own build form 16.06.2009 and wireless with encryption enabled isn’t working.

Hello!
Thanks for your howto, everything works good. I’ve only had some problems with getting the internet connection working on the router without wan connection. I’ve had to manually assign static network settings for wan interface on this router (copied the ip address of the wan interface from the gateway router and as a gateway address set the local ip address of that router), but now I’m very happy openwrt user.
Regards.
