Posted: Tue May 14, 2013 12:28 Post subject: Broadcom K3.X testing, test users wanted
these builds here will run on usually almost all K26 supported device with at lease 8 mb flash and 32 mb ram.
if you are able to handle recovery, please test. if not. dont touch it.
we tested Asus RT-N66U, Linksys E4200, Asus RT-N15, Netgear WNDR4000 so far.
as prerequirement it would be good if a K26 is already installed so i dont need to post many special images here for all the factory firmware format types.
on NV64 or NV60k devices consider that you dont need any special images anymore after upgrading. dd-wrt does now detect all nvram types (32K, 60K, 64K) and handles them well. so totally you will always have access to 64K nvram, even on 32K or 60K devices.
for first install you still need the special NV64 or NV60 file since there is a check embedded in the K26 firmwares. it has been removed in 3.X
I can test with a wndr4000 and a wndr4500 . Are both supported ?

I'd be happy to help test but I have no routers other than the ones you have tested. LOM has tested the rt-n16 I understand.
I would be happy to assist you if you want to look at the problem of any k24 build after the last working build of 19342 erasing / formatting SD cards when inserted and mmc support is enabled.

in theory all K26 devices are supported but not tested
the reason for this test is not to test already tested devices. we are interested in results on other k26 supported routers _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking? Sounds like a Mac to me.." - Louis Rossmann https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL_5YDRWqGE&t=60s

k24 works also with newer builds, but i cannot add that many new kernel related features to 2.4. i move on to migrate all to latest kernels _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

Thanks for the response..
I'm not talking about adding features to k24 builds. I am talking about SD/MMC support is no longer working on any build past 19342. As I have posted on the forum in the build threads, as well as TRAC, any build past 19342 erases or formats the sd card when inserted and support is enabled in the gui.
It broke somewhere after 19342. 19519 was the first build posted after 19342 and that is when it broke.
I realize that the older legacy routers like the wrt54g-TM are out dated. However, the older routers are rock solid with strong radios with the ability to connect other antennas. For me (and a few others), they are still used. _________________ [Moderator Deleted]

no problem, its working, but the driver does not detect the 5ghz interface.... driver issue ?
I believe the 5ghz interface uses the WL_HIGH module
Wireless Radio = Broadcom BCM43236

if you guys get 5ghz working on the 2500, it will prolly work on the 3200. I do have a 3200 I can help test with. _________________ [Moderator Deleted]

The 60K version loads and runs fine on the E3000 Linksys. WAN and LAN ports work. Both radios work. LEDs are correct. F/w detects all four partitions on my HP thumb drive and automounts the NTFS partition. JFFS works. Shows 64KB NVRAM. Samba and CIFS work. Overclocking/under clocking doesn't work for the same reason that you posted on another thread.
NFS (New Feature Suggestion)
1.) Auto insert the necessary kmods for all the detected disc partitions.
2.) If there is enough space left, include the blkid app in the firmware.
