I opened a fresh router and flashed with the voip bin and I am getting the same thing with ipkg update

Anyone know what is going on?

Hi guys,

me too i have this problem but the difference is that when I enter the command, nothing is happening - no error message, nothing

[CraigFoote]

I'm also getting:

"Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/Packages ...
ipkg_download: ERROR: Failed to retrieve http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/Packages, returning", etc.

Has anyone figured out how to get this work?

[jpalo]

Same here with v23 SP2 vpn on WRT54GL. I'm using Samba share on NAS for the storage. I'm able to read/write the share just fine.

[Software_Samurai]

I ran into the same problem. Found this post yesterday:

http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=17979

After doing "echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn" in an SSH shell, the /bin/ipkg worked fine for me.

Cheers!

p.s. Out of curiosity, can anyone explain to me exactly what the tcp_ecn is, and why it's defaulted on for DD-WRT?

[john57]

I tried echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn
and edit ipkg.conf with ip addresses and making a change to ipkg(IPKG_DIR_PREFIX=usr/lib/ipkg to IPKG_DIR_PREFIX=jffs/usr/lib/ipkg and renaming ipkg to ipkg2) and I still can't get it to work on my 350n. wget is dead. Using Brainslayer-RC7-9134-dd-wrt.v24_generic_nokaid with usb.

I just had to make a directory to get it to work. I've got a samba mount on /jffs so the thing I had to do was:

mkdir -p /jffs/tmp/ipkg

and then it all worked.

This was the full error I was getting:

/jffs was linked to my samba share/cifs share (which also didn't work and then mysteriously started working once I tried different user names)

The SOLUTION was, as posted above, to create the directory /jffs/tmp/ipkg.

After that everything updated fine.

[phil.oertel]

Confirmed this fix. Was getting the same error on my Asus wl-520gu with jffs mounted on the unit's internal flash. Created /jffs/tmp/ipkg and ipkg update now runs to completion.

If Your Router Already Worked On Mod Such A MMC CIFS JFSS But Error Fail!! To make ipkg update.

Try Do this :!

First -> Ping google.com used your ssh ddwrt shell on your router. If Fail!! the gateway of your router is not globaly to Gate On Wan Port.

Now -> cat /etc/resolv.conf .. In my case i would get :-
nameserver 192.168.1.25
nameserver 192.168.1.1 <<-

nameserver 192.168.1.1 is a common gateway to Wan Port.

So..Next Step Do like Below Step:

vi /etc/resolv.conf

write your common gateway ip properly. then press Esc ; then press :q [/code]

Had the same ipkg update error. I believe vontage v-portal was the problem.
The original wiring was per vontage install manual; cable modem then vontage v-portal then primary router. Changing configuration to cable modem then primary router then vontage v-portal box allowed ipkg update to work without any other scripts or changes other than wiki instructions.
I believe there is a firewall in vontage box that prevented ipkg update to work.
