Hi ,I am really struck up in WDS !!!!!!!

I am using madwifi-ng-r1546-20060511 in both of my APs

i am using Proxim 802.11 a/b/g card ..

I followed all the steps to setup & configure WDS for both my APs …

wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
wlanconfig ath1 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode wds
iwconfig ath0 essid "Normal atheros AP" channel 1
iwpriv ath1 wds_add <mac of the peer wds ap>
iwpriv ath1 wds 1
ifconfig ath1 up
ifconfig ath0 up
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 ath1
brctl addif br0 ath0
ifconfig br0 up

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 :-
