Already wrote with details what happens here, during FailSafe
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=55346

Tried to set an IF in /etc/preinit ( openwrt/package/base-files/files/etc/preinit )

fs_failsafe_ifname=eth0

but that doesn't help.

Since the wmr-300 ( http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/buffalo/wmr-300 ) has only 1 NIC, and the switch uses the port 4/VLAN 1

root@(none):/etc# swconfig dev mt7620 show
Global attributes:
    enable_vlan: 1
Port 0:
    pvid: 2
    link: port:0 link:down
Port 1:
    pvid: 1
    link: port:1 link:down
Port 2:
    pvid: 1
    link: port:2 link:down
Port 3:
    pvid: 1
    link: port:3 link:down
Port 4:
    pvid: 1
    link: port:4 link:up speed:100baseT full-duplex 
Port 5:
    pvid: 1
    link: port:5 link:down
Port 6:
    pvid: 1
    link: port:6 link:up speed:1000baseT full-duplex 
Port 7:
    pvid: 0
    link: port:7 link:down
VLAN 1:
    vid: 1
    ports: 1 2 3 4 5 6t 
VLAN 2:
    vid: 2
    ports: 0 6t 

I thought the VLAN has to be used instead

fs_failsafe_ifname=eth0.1

but at that early stage of the boot, the VLAN does not seem to be understood by the scripts (and there is no /etc/config/network).
Doing this, eth0.1, results in no interface at all.

- Is there a way to specify the use of a VLAN eth0.1 during a Failsafe session?
- Other ideas would be welcome

Thanks

It seems to be, indeed, linked to that bug...

apparently, this was fixed in r48772

If a good soul could recompile "Chaos Calmer" ... thank you!

Hello,

was wondering if any new release after 15.05.1 is planned in the near future (that would fix this bug).

Thanks

The discussion might have continued from here.
