Topic: Unsupported protocol ? still it works ?

Hi,

I'm running OpenWrt Backfire 10.03.1-RC6 on a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH.

I've defined a few VLANs and bridged the wan port with one switch port.

It works, both the router and the device on the eth0.3 port get an ISP ip address, but the luci gives an error on the Network- Interface page:

"Unsupported protocol type. Install protocol extensions..."

==> I did try to install them "luci-proto-core" and "luci-proto-ppp", but found out that they are already installed.

Still the error ? It's a bit misleading. Both devices are working

It would be nice to see some info from that port, like traffic counters, up /down status etc. or at least not an "error".

Could it be a bug or just my misconfiguring ?, this is my first stab at openwrt.

Any ideas ?


Thanks!

network is configured like this:

Hi,

I still believe that there is something wrong...
I received the messages below when I activated the configuration earlier, but It didn't show up after reboot so I thought it was just a clitch... now it's back and it's flooding the kernel and system log completely.


Apr 22 07:57:00 blackbox user.err kernel: ath: DMA failed to stop in 10 ms AR_CR=0x00000024 AR_DIAG_SW=0x42000020 DMADBG_7=0x00026020
Apr 22 07:57:00 blackbox user.err kernel: ath: Could not stop RX, we could be confusing the DMA engine when we start RX up

What should I do ? what is this ?

The "not supported protocol" error is due to your "UAG_Ext" network which has no interface attached. The error is wrong (should be something like "network is empty"), yet there are no stats or states to report without any iface.
As for the RX DMA issue, thats the wifi driver and unrelated to your config.

The discussion might have continued from here.
