Sorry, when I set the dd-wrt to a static device (I have 3 static IP's from Cox) it stops passing traffic. The second I change the config to dynamic it works. I discovered it by figuring I foobar'd something and reseting it to factory defaults. I did this and happened to have my ping running to a outside address in the background. As the device rebooted in default dhcp, my laptop got a wired dhcp assignment and started hitting my destination, so I rebuilt my config again, and again no traffic. So I defaulted again and configured one piece at a time, right at the first step, changing dhcp to static it fails. I have my cisco device working, Im going to move it to the IP that the dd-wrt is having issues with and see if its me or them. Essentially right now, since I have 3 ip's (1-voip, 2 house networks) I used to seperate my network from the guest network by having two routers on two ip's, which is why I was so excited that I could configure this device to do 2 networks on 1 device, it seemed nice, cause then after I get that working, I can buy another dd-wrt device and wds my dual network... Will report once I move the dd-wrt to a different IP behind my cable modem. Maybe's its arp locked to some other mac?, I could clone it, but then I would down my backup network while I mess with it.

Worked with cox and had to have a area arp table flushed and now the router works. I actually tried this configuration. I have wired network and primary wlan working. Both assign the 192.168.5.0 network via dhcp correctly. The virtual network is configured like this post. I started with WPA and couldnt authenticate. then I knocked it down to wep and it still wouldnt connect. Next I tried it with no encryption. Still wont connect to the virtual network (which should be getting a 192.168.3.0 ip address).
it seems that if I change the virtual wlan from unbridged to bridged it magically can connect. But I want this virtual lan to be issolated from all other networks delivered via this router.
Will try going to RC4 now that I have the static part of the router working.
will update.
Thanks for the help and interest.

changing the virtual wlan from unbridged to bridged did nothing for letting me connect to the second network. Im going to try the rc4 upgrade as last effort.
Be sure you have the options posted in the correct box on the services tab. I originally had them in the wrong box. Are you saying you can't get a laptop to associate at all with the VAP? Run 'ipconfig' and report what your wireless IP address is on your laptop.

bird333, thanks for all the help.
I really havent gotten this configuration working, but I have 2 linksys routers with dd-wrt rc4 on them and thought I better make sure that I can do what I am trying to do. I did search but didnt find it or used the wrong keywords.
I bought the 2nd router to take advantage of extending the signal provided by the first router. Now that I am working on getting the first router to supply 2 seperate and isolated networks, can the 2nd router be used to extend both of the networks from the first device at the same time, thanks in advance.

I went out and bought 2 linksys wrt54gl's with a 1gb mmc mod so that eventually I can addon all the plugins and cool addons.
Is there any other documentation that I might be able to compare or look at. I've tried your instructions and cant get it to function. My last attempt on a newly flashed router (with v24 rc4 vpn).
I have successfully got the first wireless network working (192.68.0.1) with wpa/personal, but I cant get the virtual wlan (10.1) to work with any security at all. For testing purposes, I turned off security and now can connect to the 2md wireless network, however its getting assigned 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.149 IP addresses, which it shouldnt be doing. Maybe there is something I can post of my config that rings a bell with someone.
here's what I got:
WAN Connection : Static
Router IP: 192.168.0.1/24
GW: 192.168.0.1
DHCP type: DHCP Server
start ip : 192.168.0.100
users: 50
Use DNSMasq for DHCP (CHECKED)
Use DNSMasq for DNS (CHECKED)
DHCP-Authoratative (CHECKED)
What is actually the difference in having the virtual wlan bridged or unbridged? I have setup my virtual wlan following the instructions in this thread which uses a bridged virtual wlan:

As far as I can tell my virtual wlan is isolated from the LAN an physical wlan also in this case?

I am not an expert but I think this command 'brctl delif br0 wl0.1' actually manually creates an unbridged interface for 'wl0.1'. Even though in the gui you have set it to 'bridged'; the command removes it from the bridge.

Can you get normal repeater or repeater bridge modes working with encryption? What are your wireless settings?

Of course, you are right: the commands actually remove the virtual wlan (wl0.1) from the standard bridge (br0) and places it on a new bridge (br1).
Okay, I'm using tutorial along with a WDS setup. I mention WDS because the problem doesn't occur when WDS isn't setup... Anyway, the whole thing works great until I put in these firewall rules:
Once I do that, wireless users on my PRIVATE network can't get IP addresses, but the PUBLIC network is completely unaffected. I wish I knew more about iptables, but does anyone have an idea?
