Basic WDS now works for me. I am able to ping between an ismc2802 with this
driver, an smc2870 AP in repeater mode, and a third station. I will try
performance tests later.
The commands were:
iwpriv eth2 setwds 1
ifconfig eth2 up
iwconfig eth2 mode master
iwconfig eth2 channel 7 (the same as the other AP)
iwconfig eth2 essid test (the same as the other AP)
iwpriv eth2 wdsadd xx:.... (mac of the other AP)
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 eth2_0
brctl addif br0 eth2
ifconfig br0 192.168.1.1

Is this the proper sequence? Or do I have a conceptual misunderstanding?

Every few seconds there is a messages showing up in the logs: Ioctls for
WDS devices are NOT supported in this driver, which is quite annoying,
but does not seem to cause ill effects.

Bye,

Joerg
