Hi Dave,
Well, at least for rc6 jffs2 factory image the tftp update method didn't work. I tried many times and tried renaming the image file - no luck (file transferred but completely ignored). Maybe it's a quirk of wndr3800, don't know.
you probably needed the 3800 specific image in smoketest8. OR
After installing openwrt I uploaded cerowrt rc6 factory squashfs image. Did you mean that I should've uploaded sysupgrade version instead?
yes.
First impressions:
* Ge00 interface not getting up automatically. Every time I restart the router, I need to do 'ifup ge00' or bring it up via web interface.
As noted earlier, I'm puzzled.
* Lack of opkg packages: I installed kmod-usb-serial, but couldn't find kmod-usb-serial-option, usb-modeswitch, usb-modeswitch-data or sdparm; consequently, couldn't get my 3g dongle to work. Cerowrt sees it as a usb cd-rom.
we're very interested in bloat on 3g. What dongle do you use?
If I remove kmod-usb-storage, it kinda sees it as a usb serial device, but cannot do anything with it.
Your wish is my command. see rc7-smoketest9 for these additional optional packages.
I note it's best to NOT preserve settings over a reflash. SOMETIMES you can switch opkg repos to the latest, particularly when the kernel doesn't change - but not on smoketests....
* DHCPv6-PD isn't supported. Looks like it is scheduled for 1.2? My ISP uses DHCPv6-PD to delegate /48 ipv6 prefixes.
You have an ISP THAT DOES PD? Where? Who? Wow.
> Meanwhile I installed dibbler-client, but can't run it: "can't load library 'libposlib.so.1'"
Dibbler is old, and what's in git is improving but unstable. I really don't know what to use. I have a request from comcast to use something, anything, but...
When I connected the router to my main ipv6 enabled router, it was able to pick the ipv6, but something still wrong with the dns - it only works for ipv4. Not sure exactly what is happening.
hmm. more detail (in a bug report) please.
Thanks,
Max

Wow. 3 flashers in one day. (there is no specific cerowrt list, this is as good a place as any, at least for now)
I will try to improve the flashing instructions but to clarify here:
the 'FACTORY' images are are for installing when you have factory firmware installed. Usually, but *not always*, you can install that via the factory web interface, but always, you can install via a tftp update.
The 'SYSUPGRADE' images are for when you have a prior version of openwrt, cerowrt, dd-wrt, etc, already installed.
JFFS2 vs squashfs is a matter of personal choice. If you plan to do lots of development or coding on the router, go with jffs2. Otherwise squashfs saves space.
I'm really delighted to see people trying cerowrt out (and all on a day while I was offline!). I look forward to any feedback you might have. (bugs, features on the wiki please)
but: I have to note that although rc7-smoketest8 is proving out pretty good... it's what I call a 'smoketest', not even a release candidate. I try to come out with smoketests once a week, and my hope was to get rc7 itself out in ~2 weeks...
but as we're lagging the kernel development cycle by a little bit too much (and some core trees are only just now coming online again) I'm going to slip a whole bunch of stuff out of rc7's roadmap.
What I've been burning mental cycles on - is that now that I'm relatively happy with the wireless performance and overall stability/features - is trying to improve the gateway AQM system to suck a little less. Which is proving to be hard. And also improving wireless latency further using a sane classifier with QFQ - which is also proving to be hard although I have more of a grip on that at the moment.
Anyway, don't expect miracles from cero yet! Bloated queues move to your laptop, and upstream links - which are also bad places for them! - fixing your laptop is relatively easy - upstream link harder - you have to fix bloat everywhere you can.
I have a neglected WNDR3700v2 at home, still in the box, waiting to be flashed and tested with. Which firmware did you choose in the end?
http://huchra.bufferbloat.net/~cero1/rc7-smoketests/rc7-smoketest8/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-wndr3700v2-jffs2-factory.img
or
http://huchra.bufferbloat.net/~cero1/rc7-smoketests/rc7-smoketest8/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-wndr3700v2-squashfs-factory.img
In what way did you deviate from the procedure at
http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/wiki/Cerowrt_flashing_instructions to get it working? Did you have to rename the file? Did you have to flash to OpenWRT first?

What I ended up doing is:
1. did 30-30-30 reset (described, for instance, here:
http://www.myopenrouter.com/article/18623/How-to-Hard-Reset-Your-NETGEAR-WNR3500L/)
2. flashed OpenWRT using netgear web gui (it shows a warning but allows to
continue)
3. another 30-30-30
4. flashed CeroWRT from OpenWRT gui
5. profit!
I'm up! Thanks, Max!
I was unable to load the CeroWRT code from the OpenWRT GUI, but was
able to reset the router then TFTP the image in.
