Hello!
I'm new to the forum, and as a bit of a tweaker, I have messed about with OpenWRT now and again.
I decided to follow this tutorial to install the latest OpenWRT on a BT Homehub 5A, located here: https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/bt/homehub_v5a. It looks as though the image was missing, but I managed to successfully compile this overnight and it successfully flashed onto the Home Hub a couple of hours ago. Btw, if anyone is looking for the openwrt-lantiq-xrx200-BTHOMEHUBV5A-ubifs-sysupgrade.tar image, as it appears to have been pulled at some point from the sources, The one I compiled and flashed is uploaded it here: www.commolly.co.uk/openwrt-lantiq-xrx200-BTHOMEHUBV5A-ubifs-sysupgrade.tar. It's hosted at home, so please be patient - perhaps someone can add it to the images?
It appears stable enough, as it hasn't crashed. But, it hasn't been doing much either. The package locations aren't set and I've had some trouble doing this. I manually set the opkg config file and managed to install LuCi. I've enabled and started the webserver, and having it hooked up via ethernet to the linux deskop I'm using, I cannot for the life of me access the LuCi webpage.
Right now I'm downloading the packages for the platform, and I'll install things locally once this is done (USB flash drive to hand).
In the meantime though, I could do with some help with accessing LuCi. I've not changed any defaults, and as previously stated, I've enabled the http server. The router is pinging my local machines so it has local connectivity.
Next I'm going to try and disable the firewall, hands full right this second, but if that doesn't help, I'm at a loss.
Any idea what I'm missing or overlooking?
Cheers,
Chris.
