from experience -- Putting 5Ghz wifi on CPU(1) will slow or decrease chances of cpu stall. However, one can still get them. Who knows how many posts back, I posted the logs of a cpu(1) stall because of 5Ghz.

IMHO it helps to do so, but doesn't stop the problem from happening completely. Keep in mind, hopefully this is just a measure to mask a problem until Marvel fixes it permanently.

I've tried and it has not made a difference for me.

One thing I've noticed is that the interrupts are enumerated differently depending on whether you are running on a 3.18 or 4.x kernel.

I've been surfing the web on 5ghz, notice the cpu number is larger.

BTW

5ghz is going in/out a OpenVPN tunnel

I know I am way behind on learning IPV6 addressing.  Does anyone know how the "br-lan" interface gets it's assignment?  Reason I ask is it was never setup by me but seems to have a valid assignment based on the "wan" ipv6 address.

Has anyone been able to successfully mounted a FAT or FAT32 usb stick ? if so, could you please explain how.
For me only ext4 format works. Even though i have all the vfat etv packages installed.

@leitec

I was just wondering what the status of this was?
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php … 35#p289535

I have looked for a related commit but can't find one.

I submitted these but they haven't yet been accepted:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/512021/

Is there a time-table for Chaos Calmer to be finalized? Or is there a projected date for release?

Not for the time being. There still are platforms for which the build breaks but it's being worked on as we speak.

I have gone back to using RC3 with the July 7.2.* firmware + gufus' daemon-ized fan control + the splitting of the WiFi btw the cores and so far I've gotten one hiccup that required a manual reboot otherwise everything seems to be smooth and temps are a very nice level, that said the fan comes on quite often to keep the temps down but i don't really mind as the fan isn't louder than my computer's fan.

@gufus have you tried up-streaming your fan control daemon? It works rather well and it seems to much better than the cron job. I do have one thing to add. maybe allow up to 5 minutes before turning on the fan again even if temps are pushed further than the threshold values. otherwise great addition and thanks for sharing.

@nitroshift If i recall correctly you were working on hw accel for crypto or ssl(i cant really recall)? How's that been working out? Are you still working on that? Thanks!

Any news from Belkin on repairing the driver from the latest release?

The temps do jump around a bit. So it's hard to set the thresholds.

Just use this code, run it from the command line. it will show REAL-TIME info.

Much easer to set the thresholds.

while true; do a=`cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input`; b=`cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_input`; c=`cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/temp2_input`; d=`date +"%H:%M:%S"`; f=`cat /sys/devices/pwm_fan/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1`; echo $d cputemp=$(($a/1000))" "ddrtemp=$(($b/1000))" "wifitemp=$(($c/1000)) fanstatus=$f;sleep 1; done

I added this snippet to /etc/rc.local and was puzzled as to why it did not appear to be executing.  A little digging shows that it takes a bit for /proc/irq to get mounted and /etc/rc.local was running before it was mounted.  I added the following:

# Put your custom commands here that should be executed once
# the system init finished. By default this file does nothing.
while [ ! -f /proc/irq/`/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /bin/grep 'armada_370_xp_irq  59' | /usr/bin/cut -f1 -d':' | /usr/bin/cut -f2 -d' '`/smp_affinity ]
do
  sleep 1
done
echo 2 > /proc/irq/`/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /bin/grep 'armada_370_xp_irq  59' | /usr/bin/cut -f1 -d':' | /usr/bin/cut -f2 -d' '`/smp_affinity
exit 0

and now things are working as I expect.  Thanks for this little snippet.

That's good to know, I rebooted a couple of times and did notice that it didn't always work, but as Chadster766 mentioned the number seems to be consistent to the firmware version, so I just changed my to hardcoded numbers, (in my case 88,89), but this will be better at being future proof, (and I still will need the sleep of course to make sure its mounted)

15.05 due soon - directory is there but access denied:

https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/

You get that because the directory doesn't exist

A bit off topic, but the directory actually exists: https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/

can anyone say to why i can't use SAMBA ?
i really try to found the Share option over the Luci and can't find nothing like share ou samba
i tried rm /tmp/luci-indexcache an nothing happin
i tried to restart an apears this "-ash: /etc/init.d/samba: not found"
i didn't have samba installed how i can install ?

maybe you should make a different thread.. and.. read wiki
http://wiki.openwrt.org/
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/cifs.server
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/recipes/usb … binterface
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/samba

I know this is random but can someone please tell me how to go back to the stock firmware on this router? ive tried numerous times through the luci interface but it didnt work /

Under Flash new Firmware, did you uncheck "keep settings"?

My first attempts to go back didn't work because I had that checked.

Yes

yes I unchecked keep settings, it still fails on me ;((

@eduzola

Let's start with first step: do you see your external drive under System ---> Mount Points?
