Client Bridge problem

Post by michelinok »

Hi there!
I've a strange problem.
Using the precompiled squashfs images for la fonera, client bridge works perfectly, instead, installing the gargoyle ipk package on a pre-installed openwrt (last stable version of course :D ), if I detach the ethernet cable, the router is not reachable anymore :cry: .
I've triple checked the config between the 2 "situations" and it's perfectly identical ;) .
Does Gargoyle need some extra packages (excpect the ones installed during the automatic installation of the dependencies) that i might have left during the pre-installation of openwrt?

Here's the output of iwconfig:

root@OpenWrt:/www# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

imq0 no wireless extensions.

imq1 no wireless extensions.

wifi0 no wireless extensions.

br-lan no wireless extensions.

Any idea?

PS: using the precompiled gargoyle image, with client bridge and the ethernet cable connected i get "duplicated ip" on my windows machine, of course, this message is ok, but i don't get this message using my new configuration.

Here's a strange output from dmesg:

There's a kernel modification necessary to use the client bridge, which means that you can't install that functionality via a package. It's pretty much the only part of Gargoyle you can't install via a package because there's no way around modifying the kernel to make it work. Sorry.
