I compared my CFE backup to your CFE 1.1 using Beyond Compare hex mode and they were different. I found another CFE 1.1 from another EA6900 thread on here and that CFE and your CFE were identi ...

Partitions should be recreated when you boot by the CFE, so if you have not altered the CFE the partitons should be recreated.

@raximus:
i did not think that the EA6900 uses a u-boot scheme. broadcom CFE is a different bootloader.
i think you want to use the nvram set / commit to alter the
bootpartition variable before re ...

Does anyone have a copy of the original stock EA6900 CFE file? I've somehow deleted my linux2 partition trying to install uboot-envtools. Thanks. Confused

Is there a reason the Repeater Bridge mode won't work for your use? Rather than WDS.

I wanted to connect the EA6900 as host/gateway and one of the other router ...
