WAP using DD-WRT, or alternative
I have DD-WRT 23-sp2 installed on a linksys wrt54gl. I want to use it as a Wireless Access Point (WAP) not as a router.

I can't figure out how to do this. the wiki seems dated
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Access_Point

I just want it to be a wifi switch/hub, with no local NAT or DHCP.

If we can't make this work, is there other open source firmware to try?

Thanks
Pat

No, er, perhaps, not knowing what you mean by repeater.

I want to take an ethernet cable from my router/hub/server setup and plug it into the WRT54GL, and have it talk WiFi to lots of computers.

I do not want it to do its own NAT, or DHCP, I just want it to pass packets from WiFi to ethernet, and back.

This is the standard function of a Wireless Access Point.
