Finally, I also tried to out in the interface infromation in the dnsmasq options and IT WORKS!!!
I can now access the wl0.1 virtual wlan from both my laptop and from the DS Lite. Normally, I have the SSID's hidden, but if I broadcast the SSID of the virtual wlan, it shows up just fine in the DS Lite network configuration. My son only has one network enabled game, but it works flawlessly in this game. The DS Lite also shows up on the wireless status page in the DD-WRT configuration with a signal strength of about 50%.
Now, when all of this is working, it would be nice if access to the router configuration could be disabled from the wl0.1 network. I guess it could be done through some addiditonal iptables commands blocking access to the router IP on port 80 when coming from the br1 interface, but then I need apparently I need to block both the ordinary internal IP (192.168.2.1 in my case) and the address it can be accessed from on the wl0.1 interface (192.168.21.254 when using Pete's addresses). Can it be done in a more elegant way?
Argh. It just stopped working for me, and I have no idea why. I did a hard reset and did the whole thing from scratch, and still no go.
I dunno. I can't quite figure out the proper way to separate the two interfaces either. I may go back to v23 so I can follow the tutorial and just have it work.
There's something peculiar about the SSID that is attached to the VWLAN, but I can't put my finger on it.
Yes... I'm not sure why it quit. I reloaded everything and it caught on and has worked ever since. There are certain revisions of DS Lite that aren't so good with wireless, that could be it...
Another thing I definitely did was reboot the router about a dozen times.
I swapped the two interfaces and I think I got it! Here's the full scoop, from start to finish.
1) Create a VWLAN, leave it bridged, and turn off broadcasting. Unbridge your ORIGINAL WLAN, put in 192.168.21.1, 255.255.255.0 - leave broadcasting on.
Set your low-security on the first wireless interface, and high on the new one. I did not have to add a nas line to the startup, it seemed to figure this out on its own. I will try a few reboots, too, but absolutely everything seems to work, including my DS Lite - surfing and downloading homebrew off DSOrganize, NDSMail, and original Nintendo cartridges!
Thanks everyone, I literally couldn't have done it without you!
I just did it to be safe. I haven't tried enabling it. I imagine it follows the same principle as the first example in the thread - I only adjusted the interfaces.

Guys it would be great to have a multiuser-edit wiki on this topic. Many of us would benefit. _________________ WRT54GL v1.1 - DD-WRT v24-sp2 (12/18/09) mini

I've noticed that access is allowed to the setup page on the virtual wireless network(wl0.1), despite it being set to disabled in the advanced page. wl0 is denied access however.
OK - I tried this out this evening and got it to work.
I did find an issue with the "Startup" script. I had to add an "=" between the "--conf-file" and "/tmp/dnsmasq.conf".
Code:
...
dnsmasq --conf-file=/tmp/dnsmasq.conf
I did note the wide open access to the router admin. I saw the comment that it is fixed. I guess I'll keep an eye out for the update. Meanwhile - is this iptables config acceptable?
so I have followed BoxOfSnoo guide to the T but i am at a stand still. I can connect to the virtual interface perfectly with my laptop and it has internet, but with the main interface on the DS lite I can only connect to the access point sometimes and when i do it has no internet connection. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
