+ | 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:// |

- | ===== 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:~# opkg install kmod-scsi-core | + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... | + | |
- | | + | |
- | 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:// | + | |
