Topic: Ruckus VF2111

The content of this topic has been archived on 2 Feb 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I have couple of Ruckus VF2111 laying around. I found no official support for that device under OpenWrt, but there are some similar devices with Atheros AR2315 chips.
Does anyone at OpenWrt is dealing with AR2315 based boards?

If it will help then I can send a Ruckus VF2111 for the development.

Only firmware file for that given device download from Ruckus is available at:
http://support.ruckuswireless.com/softw … for-vf2111
OSS:
http://opensource.ruckuswireless.com/in … 1%2F4.0.x/

Current OpenWRT build (openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma 12-May-2012) is unable to detect a WLAN on that device.

It has Atheros AR2315 chip what has WLAN integrated:

How to proceed to get it recognized?

The DD-WRT now has Wlan enblement code for that device. Hopefully OpenWRT can get it from there.

I wonder if the Ruckus VF2825 does work with any recent OpenWRT builds? It is basically a VF2111 with a Marwell 88E6060 switch chip. So, does that switch chip is supported by the OpenWRT?

The discussion might have continued from here.
