indeed, I've replaced an rb133 with an rb433 serving two production wifi links on awmn and for the past 48 hours there are no stability issues.  though I have to say that I am not really impressed with the performance gain that the rb433 offers against the rb133.

Hi,

I wonder where I can download the trunk, which allows me to choose:

"Atheros AR71xx[2.6]" as the target system?

I did the following

svn co https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/tags/kamikaze_7.09/

but make menuconfig only allows me to choose  Atheros [2.6].

Thanks a lot.

Jim

AR71xx is supported in trunk, not in 7.09. Check:

Anyone got OpenWRT working on 433AH from SD card? Any how-to?

Hi,
i can't get to work r12983 from nand.
It boots from ramdisk ok, i copy the kernel (openwrt-ar71xx-vmlinux.elf) to /dev/mtdblock1 and untar rootfs to mtdblock2
But after reboot from nand i only get a "kernel not found"

dmesg from ramdisk:

Any idea?

the kernel file on mtdblock1 must be named "kernel", not "openwrt-ar71xx-vmlinux.elf"

Hi ppl!
I am using RB433AH.

I got acoul's image, bootet via DHCP/TFTP, copied it with "wget2nand" and then booted from NAND.
It works just fine.

Then I configured network, downloaded sshd, pciutils, ath5k, iperf, x-wrt and other modules. It worked just great. When I was done configuring it I hit "REBOOT".

After REBOOT, all changes were lost !?!?

Then I just tried to change my IP address, but after reboot changes were lost.

So, kind of n00b question... how do I make my changes permanent??

I couldn't find anything on Read-Write or Read-Only mode of the filesystem used.

I need the board for a wireless router... 3 x ABG Atheros cards (AP or Client) doing nothing more than Quagga(OSPF) and SSH server. So, a read-only fs would be great.

Any help?

why don't you use the ext2 version of the system, that should sort out your issue?

Thanks qyx.
Now it works at 411 and 433

The thing is, I don't know how to do that.

you can try to flash nand by hand. first format your nand from the boot menu. then reboot via netboot image:

mount /dev/mtdblock1 /mnt
cd /mnt

before boot make sure you select boot from nand on the boot menu.  actually you can check this before going through the above cycle :-)

Many thanks acoul.

Just one question...
The NAND is now in RW mode. On my Debian Etch, I had it always in ReadOnly, remounting it to RW when needed.

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>               <dump>  <pass>

Any idea how to do that here?
And, how to mount the miniSD card?

check out the yaffs file system readme about your first question.  about the miniSD I can't help you as I don't have such a hardware, but you should be able to see it as a scsi device and mount it accordingly ...

If I got it correctly, there is no need to mount system RO, YAFFS will take care of it. And, I don't need the miniSD then.
My original idea was to BOOT the 433AH from the miniSD card, but it has no such option.

@acoul: Please do You have .ELF image for RB433? Thank You in advance!

i got openwrt on my mikrotik411rb chipset ar71xx
but i cannotseem to get the wirless up and runningis there a package or somthing thati must install to get t to pick up the radios or what

root@OpenWrt:/# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

i only get this

the radios hat i have is the tl-wn660g tplink radio
and the mikrotik r52 and r52h radios can anyone please help me to get the wifi sorted out on my radio

and if it type wifi
/sbin/uci: Parse error (invalid command) at line 13, byte 2

Check older posts in this discussion.

Login to your OpenWRT

opkg update
opkg install kmod-madwifi

... then configure your /etc/config/wireless and /etc/config/network files...

vi /etc/config/wireless
vi /etc/config/network

... then restart networking

/etc/init.d/network restart

Your ATH cards should be up&running if your scripts are OK.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now... my problem ...

Ath's working in G mode and A mode. But, doesn't find anything in scan in TA mode. All cards are ABG.
Beside that, in A mode in AP mode, signals keep jumping from -50dBm to -80dBm (scanned with laptop, same room, 3m away). G mode, AP is working OK.
In G mode, station, while scanning my AP on 1m distance. Ath0 has -50dBm, Ath1 has -34dBm, Ath2 has -10dBm.

Is thare something wrong with the madwifi module on Atheros71xx ?

what scrips are you talking about can you give me a example on the etc/config/wirless file

as this is what i have

root@OpenWrt:/etc/config# vi wireless

all these are giving me broblems blease help

Will put my config files as soon as I finish as i get my RB back (tomorrow).

xezen: you must do "opkg install kmod-madwifi" before working with wifiX devices,
after device init (a couple of lines appear in dmesg) a new device named wifi0 should be added (check with "ifconfig -a")

i am not used to uci...  normally you do
# wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
# ifconfig ath0 up
# iwlist ath0 scan

You could sad that "wireless" defines the "layer 2" of the wireless interfaces and the "network" defines the "layer 3" of all interfaces.

In the following script, under ATH0 there are all available options listed. Under the ATH1 and ATH2 there are all needed options listed that I need for my config. All other options are left undefined as I don't need it.

As you can see, I am using Atheros cards.
ATH0 is set to AP mode, on 5GHz (mode - 11a) with a 64bit WEP key - password 6767676767 HEX or "ggggg" ASCII. Channel 40, distance 8700 meters.
ATH1 is set to AP mode, 5GHz (mode - 11a) with a 64bit WEP key - password 6767676767 HEX or "ggggg" ASCII. Channel 42 automatically sets the card in "Static Super A" mode.
ATH2 is set to Client mode, 5GHz (mode - 11a) with a 64bit WEP key - password 6767676767 HEX or "ggggg" ASCII. Channel 50 automatically sets the card in "Static Super A" mode.

So, each card will connect to a different Back-Bone link, all in 5GHz area.

Now, the "network" script... Here we define "layer 3" of

config interface loopback
        option ifname lo
        option proto static
        option ipaddr 127.0.0.1
        option netmask 255.0.0.0

config interface lan
        option type br0
        option proto static
        option ipaddr 10.14.21.32
        option netmask 255.255.255.0
        option gateway 10.14.21.20
        option dns 10.14.21.10
        option ifname 'eth0 eth1'

config interface wifi0
        option ifname ath0
        option proto static
        option ipaddr 10.14.254.1
        option netmask 255.255.255.252

config interface wifi1
        option ifname ath1
        option proto static
        option ipaddr 10.14.254.5
        option netmask 255.255.255.252

config interface wifi2
        option ifname ath2
        option proto static
        option ipaddr 10.14.254.9
        option netmask 255.255.255.252

First ... loopback interface... not intesting...
Then ... lan configuration... I have 2 active ports on the board and I bridged them, so I can used it as a switch.

Then ... the 3 wireless cards... ATH0, ATH1 and ATH2...

The cards are not bridged, as I will use the routerboard as a ... router
Each card is in its own subnet waiting to be connected to it's own Back-Bone Link.

So, after u got your scripts as you want them... you do a...
There will be some output... I get this... nothing to worry about...

root@OpenWrt:~# /etc/init.d/network restart
0.openwrt.pool.ntp.org: Unknown host

2.openwrt.pool.ntp.org: Unknown host
3.openwrt.pool.ntp.org: Unknown host

Now .. to make sure your cards (or card) are initialized ... do a... "dmesg". This will output "system messages"... on the list (you can scroll a fer windows of it), at the bottom you will find something about your wireless cards. If not, somethings wrong...

root@OpenWrt:~# dmesg

You can notice, all my cards are disconnected, and I have encryption disabled (different than set in the config file I did a copy/past above)

So ... that's it. You modify the scripts with your parameters, and it should work.

i beleve somthing is wrong with my kernel

how did you load you image
onto the board
