No IP from AP using wireless brige mode

Post by Qinn »

Hi first I would like to say that Gargoyle is some good product so thnx to the dev's and supporters

I have the following setup (== cable and ))= wifi)

WAN=====Router(DHCP on mac address)====RouterinWirelessbridgemode=(( ))=AP=((

The Router (DHCP) is a Openbsd machine

The router in wireless bridge mode is TP-Link WR841n v8 using gargoyle_1.6.1-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr841nd-v3-squashfs-factory.bin

The AP is ASUS RT-N16 using Tomato

So all machines connect to the AP using Wifi and are getting an IP on Mac address from the Router. All non windows machines get an IP, when the router in wireless bridge mode is Gargoyle. Only a Labtop using windows 7 (wifi link 5100 agn) doesn't get an IP using DHCP, when I make it static it can access the WAN.

When I change the firmware from Gargoyle to DD-WRT for the wireless bridge it gets an IP using DHCP. :shock:

Is there a solution to this problem I read something about a problem using Atheros and Broadcom and a wireless bridge before I walk this way I would like to know more about it

Thnx for any help in advance ;)

Update Oeps it seems that all other devices" also don't get an IP using Gargoyle as wireless bridge. It seems than they sill used there lease from when dd-wrt was connected.

I read that the problem between an atheros and broadcom was solved in Gargoyle with the arpnat hack? :?:
