WDS on OpenWRT

With 3 machines on 3 floors all running OpenWRT, it makes sense to set up WDS. Especially as it's really easy!

I had the WL HDD running as an access point, and the 2 WRT54's in client bridged mode. I used the web interface to OpenWRT to make 2 changes:

In "Network / Advanced Wireless", add the mac addresses of the other two machines to "WDS Connections". Save, and apply changes.

In "Network / Wireless", change "Mode" to "Access point". Save, and apply changes.

That's it, 3 access points accepting clients, and talking to each other!
