I have discovered the problem, the RS232-TTL chip from maxim nedded 5v and I give it 3.3v that was available on the PCB, I even try to fed it with USB 5v but with no results.
Now I use the smd version of the max chip and do work fine from 3.3v to 5v.
Now I was able to see the Boot log:

yes, i am the one testing dd-wrt on tl-wa801nd (thanks to LOM for the firmware)
i am using it as client for another access point
setting it as "client bridge(routed)" or "client" didn't add ath0 to br0. trying to add later ath0 to br0 also didn't seem to do any good.
so i had to use "wds station" mode.
no other problems found so far.
offtopic
what is br0:0 and why does it have a 169.254.x.x address?
I just flashed all WA801ND APs one by one in my office with this firmware (file from this tread)
it works
the main advantage for me now is "keep alive" function, because all my APs were hanging at least one time every day on original firmware, even with the last version
