DHCP w/ Wireless Bridge not working

Hi all,
I'm using version 1.5.9 and i can't get an ip from the other side of the bridge when using wireless bridge mode.
I've also tried patching openwrt with gargoyle's arpnat patches and i get this spammed in the console:
Code: Select all
br-lan: received packet on wlan0 with own address as source address
in both cases setting a static ip works as intended.
my router is a D-LINK DIR-615

it looks like that error only occurs on openwrt with gargoyle patches because i just flashed back to gargoyle and those messages arent comming up when i use logread.
im getting this in the main router's console:
Code: Select all
daemon DHCP SERVER: DHCPDISCOVER from [computer requesting ip's MAC] via [gargoyle IP]
daemon DHCP SERVER: DHCP offer to [computer requesting ip's MAC]
daemon DHCP SERVER: Exiting as another DHCP server is found
So for some reason the main router thinks the gargoyle router is the dhcp and shuts down when a device asks for an ip address. The weird thing is that i've fully disabled dnsmasq in gargoyle so i have no idea why the main router thinks its a dhcp.

found solution - make another device the dhcp server

I have the same situation. I am using the bridge thou I am using it as a client. I connect sucesfully via cable via ethernet but I do not receive dhcp requests. How did you solve this? can you explain?

Another device in the network? In my case I am using it as a client. Can the gargoyle as as a client and a dhcp server for the only client connected?

Looks like it is not possible to make dhcp server inside the router in client bridge mode due to mac limitations

You need to connect via WDS if you want to achieve this.

OH NO!
Ok... TP-Link stock firmware is best than Gargoyle... only in this
