Hi

Im trying to get wds working. I haven=E2=80=99t found much documentation =
on this topic. This is what i have found: =
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/documentation/iw#setting_up_a_wd=
s_peer

I have configured two machines with hostapd with the same config. Its =
also the same wifi card WLE200NX using the AR9280 chipset.

After APs is running I have used this commands on both AP=E2=80=99s with =
the other APs wifi mac address:

iw phy phy0 interface add wds0 type wds
iw dev wds0 set peer <MAC address>

then wds0 interface is showing up

------------------
wds0      IEEE 802.11abgn  Mode:Repeater  Access Point: Not-Associated  =20=

          Tx-Power=3D20 dBm  =20
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
---------------------


But it says Access Point: Not-Associated


I have no clue what to do next.

Is there anyone who know something about this?

Thank you for any help
