Default AP to AP linking

Does anyone know how to initiate AP's that support WDS mode to connect?

I have a pair of Inexq 802.11g AP's. I've got a few extra grey hairs trying to get them to link.

Any ideas?

Turn them to bridge mode and put the mac address of the other one into the space for a mac address.

Some APs need the MAC of the ethernet interface rather then the wireless MAC... Weird but....

Cheers, I'll give that a go tonight. The AP's can operate in brdge mode as well as just AP's of WDS mode.
I have the opertunity to let the manurfactuer know of my problem so I'll also dicuss it with them.

OK. I got them working. On one machine Windows98SE had to be rebooted to recognise the AP.

I managed to get between 1.4 to 1.8MB (megabytes) transfer rate at 25m with the standard plastic antenna, which I think is very reasonable.
