Hi all
I've sucessfully installed using openwrt-DG834GT_DG834PN-squashfs-cfe.bin from /backfire/10.03.1-rc1/brcm63xx (and had the same result with openwrt-96348GW-10-squashfs-bccfe-cfe.bin from /backfire/10.03-rc3/brcm63xx)
However there's no wifi showing up. In the wifi section of the web interface it says "This section contains no values yet" and there's no options. Looking through the boot log it looks like the wifi card isn't being detected.
The board reports itself as 96348GW-10 so I'm pretty sure I'm using the right image.... and I've read elsewhere that others have seemingly had this board's wifi working.
Is there some quirk that I'm missing?
/etc/config/wireless is empty... I tried populating it but it made no difference.
Has anyone had the DG834GT working? (note it's very different to the DG834G)
If not, any suggestions?
Here's the full output from boot-time:
