[OpenWrt-Devel] LAN "force_link" causes WDS Client routers to be no-longer administerable

[Chirag Chhatriwala]

Hello Felix,

Didn't hear back on an email I had sent a couple weeks ago so I'm following
up with a polite inquiry.
Were you able to reproduce the problem with your setup as I described?

Please let me know. If you would like, I will file a bug report on
dev.openwrt.org against trunk.

Thanks,
Chirag
