Fun with Tomato Firmware (and struggles)
Since I managed to reset my dd-wrt loaded wireless router hard enough to clear the settings, it seemed like a good time to try out the Tomato Firmware for my linksys WRT54GS.
For the single access point router/wireless AP, it works great. Easy install/setup, logging to a Windows fileshare for bandwidth and spiffy graphs.
But... I flashed my second WRT54GS that I had set up for a wireless ethernet bridge and am getting nowhere with it. It is not connecting to the main AP at all, and I don't see any reason why things aren't working in the log files. As far as I can see with google searches, it either works or doesn't for folks.
And I figured it out. Problem was I had the second AP/Bridge set up for WPA/WPA2. Fixing it to WPA resolved the errors on the network interface and all was good to go
