THIS ONLY APPLIES TO THE WGT634U
This is for AP mode. For client mode, follow ClientModeHowto or ClientMode_(Managed_Mode)_with_WPA-Supplicant.
Wireless, by default, isn't on, or working. Follow these steps to set it up:
- If you don't have madwifi installed in your image (ipkg list_installed | grep madwifi) then you have to install it.
ipkg install kmod-madwifi
-OR-
ipkg install kmod-madwifi-old (thanks J4k3!)
- To set up wireless settings, create a new file /etc/init.d/S21wifisettings (alternatively, you could include the following lines in your /etc/init.d/S20madwifi):
#!/bin/sh
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
iwconfig ath0 essid "OpenWrt"
## At this place, you can also make other settings like channel, wep, key etc.
ifup ath0
# OL: for some reason I have to ifup ath0 before running iwconfig in order to set the channel etc.
- chmod +x /etc/init.d/S21wifisettings
- [gregor@hoffleit.de: Is this step necessary? I don't think so.] Also, edit /etc/modules.d/20-madwifi:
ath_pci
ath_pci autocreate=ap
- Now run it. The wireless light on the WGT should start flashing.
- Make sure that ath0 is included in lan_ifnames in your /etc/config/network:
