Hello, I'm trying to diagnose some connection problems I'm having with PPTP and I tried to download and insmod some modules from http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/down.php?sort=name&path=downloads/others/eko/Public/modules/2.6.24.111/ but whenever I try to insmod them, I get invalid module format.

[weelkin]

these modules from eko are just for mipsel based routers, not mips based (the endianess differs) you`ll have to compile these modules yourself.

First you`ll need the right sources get them via svn:

I managed to build a cross-compiler and get everything to work. Thanks for the help!

Hi,
I want to compile it for WNDR3700. I have downloaded pb42 linux source code. But I cannot compile the code.

Could you please tell me how do you compile the total DD-WRT source code for ar71xx chipset ?

see weelkin long post that is how you do it.

The modules can be forced loaded something like
insmod -fr /path/to/*.ko

Just run insmod --help to get correct options.
They need to be build for the same hardware and not a problem if modules are from a newer kernel, might give a error in a log but loads either way.

In android we add extra parameters in the init.rc script not sure what would work here to automate this during booting process.

I am able to compile DD-WRT using its toolchain.

But I am getting some strange problems in application.
The problem is that the permission of the executable are not same in "src/router/mips-uclibc/target" directory in build system (Linux PC) and in board. The permission of the executable are "?-w---x--x" in the board while in target directory in PC the permissions are "-rwxr-xr-x". As a result shell is showing error message "permission denied" whenever I am trying to execute any executable(except built-in commands) in the board (by system() or manually).
Any idea ?

Please check the boot log below.
