rc7-smoketest9 is out, no major changes, just openwrt head + the packages asked for below.
minimally tested on a 3800. not tested on a 3700v2.
At least on the jffs2 version, the wifi detection routine failed and I had to run wifi detect > /etc/config/wireless
and reboot.
ge00 comes up for me. An ongoing problem is the lack of random numbers for wpa.
If it otherwise breaks, I will be offline this weekend, please go back to rc7-smoketest8...
it appears dibbler-poslib is built as a separate package, with an incorrect dependency...
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.
Ge00 didn't start up after commenting out ethtool, so I suspect it was slightly different issue. I've just updated to rc7-smoketest9, however, and the problem is not happening anymore, so I consider it was somehow solved.
* 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.
Thanks for including all these packages, my 3g dongle now works. It is ZTE MF636 (Telecom New Zealand). Speedtest shows 5.5mb/1.35mb/104ms, which is a great result.
Will do some more testing later.
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.
Snap Internet, New Zealand.
I installed wide-dhcpv6-client, but not sure how to test it now. PPPoE somehow disappeared from interface options, I now have DHCP client / Static address or Unmanaged protocol choice.
