Ah, yes, they don't support WDS maybe. Let me look if it's triggerable differently. Here's what you can do: install the 'iw' tool (from git.sipsolutions.net) and create a new interface: # iw dev wmaster0 interface add wlan1 type station then try to set it up: # ifconfig wlan1 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: Name not unique on network # ip link set wlan1 up # > This command will uncover alot of places where error messages should > likely be added: > > > grep -R -A1 'if.*rtnl_' . | grep -B1 exit > > > I'll have a look at it and send the patch upstream after my upcoming > roadtrip, unless someone else has already beaten me to it by then.
