Hi, I'm struggling with my old 6200nl, no image I compile from trunk works, even when I use barrier breaker build root. Whatever I flash, router does not boot. I don't have serial cable to see what's going on, but I guess it will be some kernel panic, because it is dead very soon after power up (no sign of led activity, power and eth are on, but not a single blink), only Tftp recovery works when turn on and hold reset.
With hnyman's help I was able to build old pre-AA image. It looks like the router tries to boot at least (leds are blinking, but I cannot telnet/ssh too), maybe because 6200nl was not supported yet at that time:

Problems are probably because of this swtich bug:

There have been an edimax guru called Guenti, which made some patch to fix switch issue and even compiled images:

However all links to guenti's dropbox are dead, which is no wonder, beacuse the thread is serveral years old ;-) I don't know, if that dude is still around.
I need this router as a dumb bridge from usb to ethernet, because I want to use it with lte modem (alcatel l850v) in rndis mode. I need specifically kmod-usb-cdc-ether, kmod-usb-net-rndis and usb-modeswitch, with these 3 checked I have compiled firmware for my old 842nd v1, plug the lte stick and it works like a charm. But I need to put the router on the top of the roof for better signal and wr842nd does not fit into a pet bottle. This is where I could perfectly use that old edimax router. I should have thrown that crap away long time ago, but I still have it and I know it could be done, only I don't know how right now, it does not have to be electro waste (yet) ;-) Without luci the barrier breaker openwrt works fine even on 16MB only.
I managed to found some old images which I built myself and they work, but how I made them I don't recall and kernel modules are specific to the exact build, so I'm unable to install the required kernel modules (and the ton of dependencies), not even manually.
Whatever I compile now just bricks the router. I'm clueless, but relentless :-) Thank you for help.
