Hi,

It's been a while since I have seen anything on the RT-N66U and Optware or Entware. I have been looking around and have not seen anyone been successful. The official thread now says Optware does not work on builds newer than 20006, which I can attest. I am running DD-WRT v24-sp2 (12/10/12) mega - build 20363 with the 64k fix. It has been running fine and stable. I know ticket http://svn.dd-wrt.com/ticket/2580 has not been resolved either. But ater reading the official thread again it seems to imply the Entware will work. I was curious if anyone has been successful with a similar configuration on the RT-N66U with installing Entware?

Thanks

David

Optware or Entware will not work because of ticket
http://svn.dd-wrt.com/ticket/2753

Even when the kernel panic ticket is solved it will not work.

Thanks Basmaf, after reading the ticket, I am not sure I understand. Sorry I am a newbie, but are they saying that Optware and Entware is using older libraries that need to updated? Furthermore, dd-wrt will not be compatible till they do? One last question, are the prospects to Opt or Ent being compatible with RT-N66U dismal?

You would need to use a kong build.
Don't know if kong has the nvram fix.

Its a crap reason.
Search the otrw2 thread, have explained multiple times why it won't work

I installed Optware (ipkg-opt) to jffs on my n66u and it´s working fine. The 2580 ticket affects only ext2/ext3.

Do you know if you can use FAT formatted for sdcard optware installation (2GB would be better than 32MB...)?

Can you _briefly_ summarize why this won´t work?

Brainslayer disabled the fpu emulator on the router.
This required for optware.
No won't work on fat no symlink support

@dytanaka Any updates on this? Have you been able to run Optware on the Asus RT-N66U?

From now on, a soft-float Entware feed is available. Just prepare /opt partition and run:

Code:
wget -O - http://entware.wl500g.info/binaries/mipselsf/installer/entware_install.sh | sh


A full auto-generated package list is here.

Once I do this, how do I install the packages? (How does entware differ from optware?) Also, is this advice valid for Asus RT-AC66U too? And, has anyone tried the tor in this package?

As long as it's MIPSEL router, yes.
