Not able to add virtual wireless interface #28

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

As per the instructions for adding a new MultiSSID 
(http://code.google.com/p/tomato-sdhc-vlan/wiki/MultiSSIDHOWTOForWRT54GL)
1. Add new bridge
2. Configure and add VLANs
3. Attempt to configure guest network

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Am not able to add a second virtual wireless interface, the Interface, SSID, 
Mode and Bridge select boxes and edit controls are greyed out, and the Add 
button does not work. I have also noticed that the "Wireless Interface Details" 
section does list the virtual wireless interface with a note that there is a 
"Max of 1" for the physical interface - is this right? I thought 4 was the 
limit? Is this the problem here? 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Name    WRT54G (v2)
Model   Linksys WRT54G/GS/GL
Chipset Broadcom BCM4712 chip rev 1 pkg 0
CPU Freq    200 MHz
Flash RAM Size  4 MB
Tomato Firmware v1.28.0025 Teaman-VLAN-PPTPD ND VPN

Please provide any additional information below.
Hopefully that is all....

Sorry for taking this long to reply... but this mostly boils down to physical 
hardware support. Period.

For a high-level overview, check the "Wireless Interfaces Details (Click here 
to show)" section on the advanced-wlanvifs.asp page. It should say something 
like this on a WRT54GL v1.x:

Interface   wl0 (2.4 GHz / eth1)
Virtual Interfaces  wl0 (max 4)

Whereas on my WRT54G v2 it reads:

Interface   wl0 (2.4 GHz / eth1)
Virtual Interfaces  wl0 (max 1)

For details, check Step 0 of the 'original' MultiSSID wiki page (mentioned on 
the "See Also" section on the WRT54GL howto):

http://code.google.com/p/tomato-sdhc-vlan/wiki/ExperimentalMultiSSID#STEP_0

On a WRT54G v2 we have:

root@morcego:/tmp/home/root# nvram get wl0_corerev
7
root@morcego:/tmp/home/root# wl -i eth1 cap
ap sta wet mac_spoof led wme pio 802.11d 802.11h rm cqa 
root@morcego:/tmp/home/root# 

On a WRT54GL v1.1 we have:

root@top:/tmp/home/root# nvram get wl0_corerev
9
root@top:/tmp/home/root# wl -i eth1 cap
ap sta wet mac_spoof led wme pio 802.11d 802.11h rm cqa mbss4 
root@top:/tmp/home/root# 

Noticed that 'mbss4' thingie? That means this particular interface/device 
allows us to configure/support up to 4 BSS simultaneously. See 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_set_%28802.11_network%29

Best of luck!

Thanks, it is really good of you to reply.

It makes me feel bad, because I did work this out, and have bought one of
the WRT54GL routers and everything is working fine now. I should have
closed the issue.

I am going to re-use the WRT54G as a bridge.

Thanks again,

Andy
