sure you replace wlan0 with the correct device name.

I don't know that auto is a valid channel when you are configuring an
access point.  You should probably put a channel number instead of
auto.   Also, you might want to set the agmode option as documented
here http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/docs/openwrt.html#x1-110001.2.2

Comment out everything below the WLAN entry in /etc/config/network.
Your wireless config named the wireless entry "lan".  The LAN section
of the network file bridges wlan0 with eth0.1 which is connected to
ports 1-4 on the switch.  With this in mind, the ip address of your
500gPs wireless interface will be 192.168.178.100.

Perhaps if you configured your laptop with 192.168.178.101 and ran
"ping 192.168.178.100" it would work as is.
