The test A/P is a USR-5451-maxG with ddwrt as OS. A/P is on mixed mode (B+G), but after your mail I tried B-Only mode, which failed also. While observing the connection process, I got the feeling that the orinoco card (eth1) is unable to set an IP. I have tried static and dhclient, with same effect. Shortly after the connection process starts, the card status shows as connected, but does not finalize . Process then terminates (assuming because no IP is agreed on with AP). Please advise what other info/test I can try. Regards.
