Question - How Does Wireless Log determine Connected time?

[ColinTaylor]

Sorry, I don't know anything at all about the new VLAN routers. Maybe brctl show might show something.

Here is brctl show output — i find it strange that br53/br54/br55 bridge names don't match eth0.52/eth0.53/eth0.54 interface names.

brctl show

VLANs are tags applied to network interfaces. You still need to go with the virtual network interfaces, like wl0.54 in this case.

I am continuing to hit a wall here...

So we were able to find the vlan tags in nvram here:

apg_ifnames=br53 br54 br55

And found these corresponding vlan-tag nvram variables that show all the virtual network interfaces in use

apg_br53_fh_wlifnames=wl0.52 wl1.52 wl2.52 wl3.52
apg_br54_fh_wlifnames=wl0.53 wl1.53 wl2.53 wl3.53
apg_br55_fh_wlifnames=wl0.54 wl1.54 wl2.54 wl3.54

However, if you enumerate any of these "wl0.52", "wl2.53", etc... interfaces with the wl command, they're coming back with:

wl: wl driver adapter not found

@RMerlin, any other thoughts on how to pull wl-related connection data from wireless clients attached to these virtual network interfaces? I appreciate your insight on this...

Dunno, you would have to dig through nvrams. I use a closed source function in libshared (get_apg_vid_by_ifname(char *ifname) ).

I thought I was on the right path when everything started lining up like that... ugh. Will keep searching... thank you!
