Not sure what you're trying to do, but it sounds like you want to setup some kind of a bridge or repeater. Check out the Wiki for tutorials

If you telnet in and run
Code:
nvram get wl0_corerev
. If the number returned is less than 9 it means that your router is too old so it can't broadcast two ssid's with different mac addresses. Some devices will be able to pick up both irregardless however it is possible that yours won't. As far as I know there is no workaround for this.

If you use a VINT build, you will be able to set up one virtual interface. It won't have a different MAC Address, but it should work fine.

Sorry, I´m newbie... what´s a VINT build?

I don´t really care the different mac address, just want to broadcast 2 different SSIDs ( even with the same DHCP / Network Mark ).

Thanks mate!

VINT builds use an older driver that is more compatible with your board than the new one is. Load this image and your second interface should work fine.

Broadcom images are not device specific. The image I linked to will work on the v3. Where did you get the impression that that image was for a v2?
