Hi,



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 ...



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 !!!



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

Ping says " Destination Unreachable " ....



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