Lol
I like to have the last ultra-version of the software that my device can handle lol
Just kidding
I already have it running with the precompiled 2.4 squashfs image.
If you look over the forum you will see that some people says that the Wi-Fi is working with the 2.6 kernel that is in trunk. I tried and it didn’t work. So, I came here to see if I was doing something wrong.
I'm using my WL500 to connect to internet with a huawei 170 UMTS modem. It works relatively well but I'm having some trouble to reestablish the connection automatically when it gets lost.

As you wandered through the infinite depths of the forum swamp you may noticed that it is a driver issue that is (as far I know) unfixed and (as far I know) can't be fixed with the openwrt's 2.6 kernel because the chipset implements some fancy energy saving stuff. That's what I can tell from this seat I'm sitting on and more I won't tell you.

If someone got it working, contact him and post the solution.

Hi,

I compiled the latest version from svn (revision #19881) with b43 driver, and it works fine for me. However, i could get it wotk only in AP mode and PSK so far.
The modules hostapd-mini and hostapd-utils must be installed (hostapd crashed for me), other thigs are according to the usual configurations.

Regards
K. Gy.

Anyone knows if the current beta (Backfire 10.03 Beta) or the current trunk is working in the WL500GP V2 with the wireless enabled?
The b43 driver is supposed to work in the brcm47xx but all I have is this:

Hi there
It still don't work in my WL500GP V2
I Flashed it (with Backfire 10.03 Beta), enabled the wireless in the config file, reloaded the network configuration and pufff I lost connection with the router.
I also tried with the last snapshot and the result is the same
I reboot the router, the AIR led gets on past 2 secs gets off and I can't communicate with the router

I confirm the same problem. 10.03 RC1 have the same issue.

I suppose your problems are connected with this bug I posted: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/6907

If someone else could use serial console to get logs (and post it in bugzilla) it would be very helpful.

I'm going to learn how to do that and if I can I post the results here.

Still not working with trunk r20737.

You added log from kernel compiled without debug symbols, which renders Call trace essentially useless :-(
Could you please add corrected version?

I’m sorry but I had no time to come here before

Can you tell me what options I have to enable in configuration menu to enable the debug symbols?

In Global build settings I'm going to enable this:

Compile packages with debugging info
Compile the kernel with symbol table information
Compile the kernel with debug filesystem enabled

Is this enough or I have to enable something else?

This should be enough.
If generated image would be too large, you can even uncheck "Compile packages with debugging info".

I had to do that. It was giving me a compiling error. It had something to do with “too much space”
I added the log file. I hope this time it has the information needed

Yup, it looks good.
Let's hope someone will fix this soon.

Reviving an old thread, as this on seems most appropriate. Bug 6907 was resolved a while back by changing the default driver that's used in the build process. That said, I still find wireless on the Asus WL500GPv2 extremely unstable, so much so that I can't really use it. Just wondering if anyone has had any better luck getting stable wireless on this router?

Got it up since quite some time now and I can't complain. What exactly happens to the wireless? Please provide more information, so may I can reproduce / understand what the problem could be.

Glad to hear someone's got it working. Do you remember specifically what you did to get it working (on a 2.6 branch). In terms of what I do, it's not much.

All of that was selected in the build process. I've made a variety of changes to the packages selected in make menuconfig, particularly around which USB and Luci packages were included by default as I worked out other problems. None of that has made a difference.

After installing the build, all I have to do is enable wireless and wait. Typically the best I can get out of it is 6 hours, but it often fails in much less time than that. The amount of wireless traffic being generated doesn't seem to make a huge difference. After that the router remains functional for ethernet/routing, but eventually DHCP will fail (seemingly tied to the wireless failure, as DHCP is stable without wireless). The only way to get power down/power up the system.

Initially I thought it might have been related to encryption, so I tried WPA, then WEP, and finally no encryption with DHCP only doling IPs to specific Mac addresses. None of this made a difference.

The only thing I haven't tried is one tweak mentioned by someon in the bug 6907 thread - tweaking 'CONFIG_B43_FW_SQUASH_COREREVS="13"'. Not exactly sure where to do this, and not sure if it's critical.

I've opened bug 7403 on the hang, but no response yet. Debug is enabled with symbols, this is the dmesg output:

the answer is simple: the kernel is a 2.4 :-)

root@zeus:~# uname -r
2.4.35.4

That explains it - 2.4 is working for everybody. The problem is the 2.4 kernel is full of bugs around usb storage and usb audio - while wireless works fine audio/usb is hosed and no one has been able to get it to work for the last year or so (based on my own forum searches). Everything that doesn't work on 2.4 is working fine on 2.6, except the wireless... so far it's been lose/lose, but I can accomplish more of what I want with 2.6 right now.

If anyone's got wireless working with a 2.6 kernel let me know.

After installing the build, all I have to do is enable wireless and wait. Typically the best I can get out of it is 6 hours, but it often fails in much less time than that. The amount of wireless traffic being generated doesn't seem to make a huge difference. After that the router remains functional for ethernet/routing, but eventually DHCP will fail (seemingly tied to the wireless failure, as DHCP is stable without wireless). The only way to get power down/power up the system.
Initially I thought it might have been related to encryption, so I tried WPA, then WEP, and finally no encryption with DHCP only doling IPs to specific Mac addresses. None of this made a difference.
The only thing I haven't tried is one tweak mentioned by someon in the bug 6907 thread - tweaking 'CONFIG_B43_FW_SQUASH_COREREVS="13"'. Not exactly sure where to do this, and not sure if it's critical.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I've only recently started using Backfire (10.03, r23452) and ran into the same problem on my Wl-500gP V2. I made the 'CONFIG_B43_FW_SQUASH_COREREVS="13"' change two days ago (I edited the .config file directly) and it seems to be working. Wireless (station mode) hasn't failed in 48 hours.

I guess I am resurrecting and old thread too. I just installed 10.03.1 RC4 and the wifi seems to work as a client using WPA-PSK encryption. I can do opkg update to get the package update. I have only been running the wireless for 5 minutes, but that is all I wanted wireless for anyway. Just wanted the wifi to be able to access my other router to get to the net. I will update as I learn more.

I'm still using OpenWrt 10.03 w/ 2.4 kernel.
Sorta confused, but why cat /proc/pci says the id is 4318 rather than 5354?

The discussion might have continued from here.
