wow! 
that is EXACLTY the configuration of both my M5 (10.1.0.3 and 10.1.0.2)

how is your coova chilly DHCP configuration setup? I do have a 10.1.0.10 as 
initial ip of the pool and my doubt is that any address out of the pool 
might be filter out by the firewall,
but I don't know how to test it.

btw: attached my setup.

I do have already another AP attached to the box (to allow wireless clients 
to connect) and works like a champ!
my problem are the wired laptop connected with the two M5 wifi link, they 
seems to be excluded .. 

if I connect on the grase box I can ping on 10.1.0.1 and 10.1.0.10 ... but 
I cannot ping 10.1.0.2 or 10.1.0.3 etc....

but If I disconnect the cable of my antenna and manually attach to my 
laptop I can reach both antennas and also the other laptops...

it must be some routing/firewall configuration on grase that is going to 
block traffic outside of the chilli dhcp pool
:-(
