Wireless NIC Support: wlan0 not showing in webGUI

[Guest]

[soggyfish]

I have a wireless NIC supported by the ath5k driver that shows up fine in ifconfig as wlan0.  However, when I got to the webGUI to add it to the blue network, it doesn't show up as an option.

Any suggestions?

Endian doesn't support wlan as interfaces.

Only external Wireless.

As a workaround, you may try to add it on the file /var/efw/br2 , that is the BLUE bridge. Reboot and after that you should work with BLUE normally.

Thanks for that, it was useful for me to understant (a little) how endian works. But to make wlan0 work as red interface how should i do it? It is an usb wifi adapter that should connect to an AP/router. Wifi is not encripted by now so i can use iwconfig to connect it, but i need that endian-soft use it as red interface. Also, if i do ifconfig wlan0 up, another thing gets up too (wmaster0), here is the output of ifconfig once i've done ifconfig wlan0 up. Can anyone explain me what is wmaster0?
