[Cerowrt-users] Some setup questions

[Marc MERLIN <marc@merlins.org>]

Hi,

I've used linux on wireless routers for many years, and recently got a
WNDR3800 on which I just installed Cerowrt.

I used openwrt-ar71xx-generic-wndr3800-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin 3.3.8-26
on top of an openwrt test install.

Two questions:

1) Before cerowrt, I tried openwrt 12.09-beta2
Is fq_codel and most of cerowrt in openwrt 12.09-beta2?  If I can't get
cerowrt, will openwrt 12.09-beta2, be pretty close to cerowrt for latency
patches?

2) I'm going to need usb to serial (pl2303) support. I already read that cerowrt
doesn't have most packages from openwrt, but since they should be mostly compatible
can't I just point cerowrt to
http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09-beta2/ar71xx/generic/packages/Packages
and use those packages instead, including
http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09-beta2/ar71xx/generic/packages/kmod-usb-serial-pl2303_3.3.8-1_ar71xx.ipk ?

3) in the network/switch page, I noticed that it shows port4 even though I
don't have one, and CPU seems to be the uplink port, but it shows 1000bT
full-duplex whether I have my uplink cable plugged in, or not.
Is that normal?

Thanks,
Marc
