I think that I have tried the similar images with no success. In my case it required the wndr3800 image, i.e. http://huchra.bufferbloat.net/~cero1/rc7-smoketests/rc7-smoketest8/openwrt-= ar71xx-generic-wndr3800-squashfs-factory.img > image, to be precise.

This is weird. I think you should report this issue and try to describe it as well as you can. This sounds as a bug. But I would recommend to test this first with a newer image. Cerowrt moves pretty fast forward and this could have been fixed already. You should check also that there are not similar issues already reported. I tried to look, but I didn't find any that fits your description. > Couldn't find libposlib.so.1 neither in the file system nor in the packag= es. > But even if I could, I suspect that dibbler client is not a proper soluti= on. > Openwrt docs suggest using wide-dhcpv6-client which doesn't exist on the > opkg list either. Well well. I am no expert, but I would say that this might be useful to add to the packages of Cerowrt (Feature request to the tracker). It seems that Openwrt includes the package (http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/wide-dhcpv6-c= lient_20080615-7_ar71xx.ipk), again I don't recommend using this package, even though I suspect that it would work. > All those issues are not a big deal, actually.

Any ideas of w= hat > could be useful? I have similar issues, I think that CeroWRT shows great promise, but I break my router too often for it to be my main one. I have been playing around with the thought of specifying a set of tests to perform on the router. So we could see that we are going into the right direction. I think that David is working on this but he is quite busy :) and I think that there is a bug about it on the tracker, but I didn't find it. If you have a powerful machine (CPU power) and spare time, one suggestion would be to build your own version of Cerowrt. Instructions can be found at http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/wiki/Building_Cerowrt_on_your_o= wn_machine . If you are succesful with these instructions you could add information to the bug about it http://www.bufferbloat.net/issues/282 . This way you could include the modeswitch and dhcp packages. If you are not familiar with building Cero/OpenWRT you could find more information from http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build . Most important information is that by using command make menuconfig you can add and/or remove packages from the image and the packages listing. (If you want to use the optional packages (those with M in the name not those with *) you need to change the link in /etc/opkg.conf. -- best regards Petri > > Thanks, > Max > > On 4 November 2011 21:37, Petri Rosenstr=C3=B6m > wrote: >> >> Hi Maxim, >> >> On Fri, Nov 4, 2011 at 8:53 AM, Maxim Kharlamov wrot= e: >> > Hi Dave, >> > >> > Well, at least for rc6 jffs2 factory image the tftp update method didn= 't >> > work.
