| + | This is currently in the OpenWRT trunk, and while not an official marked release, if it builds, it usually builds something stable. :) If you'd like to discuss this, I created a mailing list so information isn't scattered around various forums and my own personal email. Let's get a little community going where everyone can benefit! | ||
| - | I do very limited tested beforehand. I currently have 1 very helpful tester that is giving me constant feedback, but I post builds after I change something I find worthwhile. I need **YOUR FEEDBACK** I do not actually run this router on my network, because it's always connected to my laptop getting hacked. Maybe someone should send me one or two more. | + | * mailing list: http:// |

| - | ====== OpenWRT Backfire (10.03, r23044, kernel 2.4.37) | ||
| - | Basic quick openwrt build. Not much tweaking for our system has yet to be done, as seen from the steps of setup instructions below... | ||
| - | |||
| - | binary: http:// | ||
| - | |||
| - | source: http:// | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Recommended setup ===== | ||
| - | - Flash the router from Linksys web interface. | ||
| - | - Telnet to 192.168.1.1 | ||
| - | - Set password to enable ssh and disable telnet: **passwd** | ||
| - | - SSH to root@192.168.1.1 | ||
| - | - Update opkg: **opkg update** | ||
| - | - Install X-WRT: **opkg install webif** | ||
| - | - Make web daemon start on bootup: **/ | ||
| - | - Reboot: **reboot** | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Bugs and workarounds ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== USB storage ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | At least from my experience, USB1.1 is reliable, while USB2.0 storage just ... breaks/ | ||
| - | Also, since EHCI is made in the kernel, we must override dependency of kmod-usb-core. I did this: | ||
| - | |||
| - | root@OpenWrt: | ||
| - | root@OpenWrt: | ||
| - | Installing kmod-usb-storage (2.4.37.9-1) to root... | ||
| - | Downloading http:// | ||
| - | Configuring kmod-usb-storage. | ||
| - | Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... | ||
| - | usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage | ||
| - | scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices | ||
| - | Vendor: Generic | ||
| - | Type: | ||
| - | Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 | ||
| - | |||
| - | There it is! Just make sure it's a USB1.1-only hub for great success. I found a Belkin F5U021 after *much* searching on eBay/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== fat/ | ||
| - | These require nls_base which should have been made in the kernel but was not due to incorrect kernel config by default. I will fix this in next build, but the workaround is to install it as a module. That module is at http:// | ||

| - | ==== x-wrt repo ==== | ||
| - | Since x-wrt adds another repo in / | ||
