Hello, I'm trying to configure bmx6. Using the basic configuration specified in the wiki[1], I got the error: [18958 0] ERROR dev_if_fix: No global IP for dev=wlan3 ! DEACTIVATING !!! [18958 0] WARN dev_check: not using interface wlan3 (retrying later): DOWN CHANGED ila=0 iln=0 I'd like some hints on setting the global IP for bmx. Also, what is the format for the globalPrefix and llocalPrefix? I'll be happy to look at a sample config file ~/etc/config/bmx6. When I use the luci web interface using the <network>/<length> format, I get invalid llocalPrefix. Any examples of globalPrefix as well as llocalPrefix values?

thanks, that's very helpful. Apart from this mailing list,is there a bmx6 forum somewhere or a bmx6 online community that someone working with/on BMX6 can join?
