yesterday I created a new issue on the asuswrt-merlin repository. i hope you guys can help me out. :)

************************************ start ************************************
first of all: the setup already works with no authentication.

the router is in AP mode, just passing all the (tagged) stuff to another machine, which acts as a dhcp server. on the server side the vlan ids are used to provide an ip from a given subnet (192.168.x.0/24, where x corresponds to a vlan id).

the switch has been successfully configured (using et robowr x x x) for handling vlan ids 11, 12 and 13 correctly.

this is how the bridges are configured:

/ # brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.60a44c6b6808 no

br-ap11 8000.60a44c6b6808 no
vlan11
wl0.1
wl1.1

br-ap12 8000.60a44c6b6808 no
vlan12
wl0.2
wl1.2

br-ap13 8000.60a44c6b6808 no
vlan13
wl0.3
wl1.3

as i mentioned, everything works perfectly with no authentification. however, authentification starts to work if i change the value of "lan_ifname" (nvram) from br0 to br-apN and restart eapd. this only works for one bridge at a time.

tomato seems to support multiple lans (lanX_ifname):
http://repo.or.cz/w/tomato.git/blob...61a287b6c01683:/release/src-rt/wl/eapd/eapd.c

what options I have to reach my goal?

************************************ end ************************************

i've found a similiar issue (Bridging a VLAN to a VAP works perfectly if I disable all authentication..) but it is not marked as solved and doesn't provide any hints on how to fix it.
