I set up a WRT54G and could never get it to use a high level of  
security.  You may have to tone it down a bit from 128bit.

Try this link if you like source code

What is it saying about the BSSID 00:0D:3A:74:00:61?

Are you trying to set the SSID=BSSID or soething like that?

The BSSID is a 48bit identity used to identify a particular BSS (Basic  
Service Set) within an area. In Infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID  
is the MAC (Medium Access Control) address of the AP (Access Point) and  
in Independent BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is generated randomly.


The Service Set Identifier or Network Name is used within IEEE 802.11  
networks to identify a particular network. It is usually set by the  
administrator setting up the WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and  
will be unique within a BSS (Basic Service Set) or ESS (Extended  
Service Set). The SSID may be broadcast from an AP (Access Point)  
within the wireless network to enable Stations to determine which  
network to “Associate” with. However, this feature should be disabled  
as it may assist “hackers, or wardrivers” in gaining access to a  
private network.
