hello,

i am trying to install kmod-i2c-gpio-custom on a TPlink WR703N.
i am running the latest firmware (as of today i upgraded)
when i try and install the gpio-custom it askes for a dep of kmod-i2c-gpio. However that package doesn't exist!

root@OpenWrt:/# opkg install kmod-i2c-gpio-custom

root@OpenWrt:/# opkg install kmod-i2c-gpio
Unknown package 'kmod-i2c-gpio'.
Collected errors:
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-i2c-gpio.

taking a look in http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … /packages/ does not have a kmod-i2c-gpio listed anywhere.

am i missing something really obvious?

thanks,

Stephen.

kmod-i2c-gpio is now built into the kernel, so you need to disable dependency checks when installing this package.

many thanks for that, i would never have figured that out!
will try again with a force and do some testing.

thanks again,

Stephen.
