Linksys WRT54G wireless router connected to BEFRS41 wired router

I'm trying to get my WRT54G setup so it can ping / communicate outside
of my network. Right now I have it connected directly into my Linksys
BEFSR41 4-port DSL router, which is connected to my DSL modem.

I've installed the Sveasoft Satori v4.0 firmware, so I can get a SSH
shell going. The problem is that I cannot ping outside of my network
from my WRT54G (192.168.1.2), but I can ping the BEFRS41 at 192.168.1.1
fine - here's my setup:

BEFSR41 - 192.168.1.1
(DHCP server enabled)

WRT54G - 192.168.1.2 (static IP)
(DHCP server disabled)

Now, from what I understand, the sveasoft firmware enables the WRT54G to
be a bridge, access point and router at the same time, right? (... which
reminds me I should read through their forums but since I'm already this
far, I'm going to post this)

I want both routers, so I can take the WRT54G with me to test out at
other locations... while leaving my home network intact. Also, this way
forces me to gain a deeper understanding.


Is there a routing problem, here's my routing table (I hope the
formatting is okay):


Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0

Sounds like it is causing deeper confusion.

You forgot to include the interface. If those doubles are on different
interfaces, they make no sense. There can be only one interface for a
route. The last one set will be the opertive one. Otherwise teh machines on
the net would get schizophrenic. Ie, get rid of those doubling ups of the
routes.

If these are the continuation of the previous lines then as I said they
make no sense. Having the same route on two different interfaces (br0 and
vlan1) does not work. Only the last one defined will be used. What did you
think would happen?


]Here's what `ifconfig` says:

Sheesh 5 interfaces?? That is nuts.

and different named interfaces for the same card? (same hardware MAC

br0 and eth0 and vlan0 are the same MAC.

Well, I have a route defined, my default gw address (as shown below)
that goes to 192.168.1.1, therefore I can ping from 192.168.1.2 to
192.168.1.1 as well as any other computer inside my 192.168.1.* subnet
network.

I should mention, I didn't create any new interfaces, these are what
comes with it. In other words, this is what is there by default. There
is some sort of br0 (bridging) going on, I believe.

Also, I was wondering: eth1 only has TX errors, while br0, eth0 and
vlan0 all have the same TX/RX statistics.
