I recently got a Linksys EA4500 and checked to see if it was supported by OpenWRT and I saw it was so I installed the version linked on the Wiki page for the device. However I see it is Designated Driver and thats the bleeding edge version and I would like to go to Chaos Calmer. I dont see a Chaos Calmer version in the ftp so I did remember seeing something called the Candyhouse Chaos Calmer so I downloaded that image file and I am trying to flash that but it keeps rebooting to Designated Driver. I have reflashed with stock Linksys firmware and that worked fine but then I tried to flash the Candyhouse one from stock and it was still DD.
Partly the reasons Id like to do this is a few bugs Ive noticed in DD. On the software package list the Install/Remove links dont work. When you click them it refreshes the page and the packages dont get installed. To install packages you need to to that in a SSH window (PuTTY). The other issue is that even if you install a new theme like the OpenWRT theme it seems to break the whole UI and it reverts to basic HTML with no styling whatsoever. The only theme that works is the default Bootstrap theme.
I do understand theres the primary and alternate boot partitions and so I have tried to flash the Candyhouse firmware twice in a row thinking I could get it to flash onto the other partition slot. Didnt work.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
