<DIV>Dear all,<BR><BR>I am working on a mesh network using Linksys WRTGL
routers with friefunk firmware loaded. I have three of these routers and the
routers are running on OLSR and the mesh between the routers are working fine.
But when I am trying to connect client machines (which are windows xp and
vista), they can't associate with the routers through wireless interfaces,
while the wired interfaces (LAN interfaces) are working fine, Can anybody help
me regarding this? <BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Tariq<BR></DIV></DIV><BR>
