Hi,

=0D

I am really struck up in WDS !!!!!!!

 dmesg shows unable to load wlan_scan_wds.

which file might be missing?

I am using madwifi-ng-r1474-20060314 in one of my APs & the other AP has
madwifi-ng-r1531-20060427 .....

I am using Proxim 802.11 a/b/g card ..

I followed all the steps to setup & configure WDS
(http://madwifi.org/users-guide/) for both my APs ...

=0D

Both my APs are in mode 802.11a & my client is able to associate with
both my APs individually & hence can ping both separately ...

But there is no sign of WDS at all !!!

=0D

The APs can't ping each other, nor the client, after associating with
one AP, can ping the other AP ..

Ping says " Destination Unreachable " ....

=0D

Outputs from both my AP's iwconfig & ifconfig commands are :-
