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. After installing openwrt I uploaded cerowrt rc6 factory squashfs image. Did you mean that I should've uploaded sysupgrade version instead? 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. * 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. If I remove kmod-usb-storage, it kinda sees it as a usb serial device, but cannot do anything with it. * DHCPv6-PD isn't supported. Looks like it is scheduled for 1.2? My ISP uses DHCPv6-PD to delegate /48 ipv6 prefixes. Meanwhile I installed dibbler-client, but can't run it: "can't load library 'libposlib.so.1'" 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. Thanks, Max On 4 November 2011 03:22, Dave Taht wrote: > Wow. 3 flashers in one day.

I will try to improve the fla= shing 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 a= lways, you can install via a tftp update.

The 'SYSUPGRADE' images are for when you have a prior version o= f openwrt, cerowrt, dd-wrt, etc, already installed.

JFFS2 vs squashf= s 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 althoug= h 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 smoket= ests once a week, and my hope was to get rc7 itself out in ~2 weeks...

but as we're lagging=C2=A0 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.
<= br> What I've been burning mental cycles on - is that now that I'm rela= tively happy with the wireless performance and overall stability/features -= is trying to improve the gateway AQM system to suck a little less.

Anyway, don't expect miracles from cero yet! Bloated queues move to= your laptop, and upstream links - which are also bad places for them! - fi= xing your laptop is relatively easy - upstream link harder - you have to fi= x bloat everywhere you can.

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 th= e file? Did you have to flash to OpenWRT first?

I'm up! =C2=A0Thanks, 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.
