Hi BBers,
I've finally bitten the bullet and decided to upgrade from my trusty asus wl500w to a Lynksys e4200.

I've installed 18777 as per recommendation from the wiki and most things seem ok BUT one thing I need is for /usr/sbin/ip to work because firewall scripts generated by Firewall Builder use this command.

I get normal output from "/usr/sbin/ip addr" on WL500L/r14929 but no output at all on the e4200/r18777.

Can anyone confirm if this works on their r18777 install? On later versions?

eg on the wl500w
root@router5:~# ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo
2: teql0: <NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop
link/void
3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
link/ether 00:1b:fc:0c:24:d1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
link/ether 00:1b:fc:0c:24:d2 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 111.222.111.222/24 brd 220.239.68.255 scope global eth1
5: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
link/ether 00:1b:fc:0c:24:d3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
6: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
link/ether 00:1b:fc:0c:24:d1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.1.1/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global br0
7: etherip0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop
link/ether 4a:7c:d3:80:1d:c0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
root@router5:~#

Yet on the e4200:
root@router8:/usr/sbin# ip addr
root@router8:/usr/sbin#

Any help appreciated

OK I've upgraded and downgraded and found that "ip" worked in 17990 but not in any (mini, big or mega) builds of 18777 or 20086 (mini).

I've eventually settled with a work around where I borrowed the "busybox" file from 17990, copied it to my e4200 (now running 20086), linked ip -> busybox and run that ip within the Firewall Builder script and it woks just fine.

Please note this as a bug that ip does not work in 18777 or 20086 and probably versions in between (I tried one but can't remember which).

Cheers

Eureka! Finally realized why ipv6 6to4 is broken for the recent BS builds I've tried; The startup scripts for ipv6 rely on the ip command, but the ip command has been broken since at least 18777 as you say.

Found the relevant tickets on trac:

http://svn.dd-wrt.com:8000/ticket/2590

and I guess a recent duplicate:

SO FRUSTRATING!!!!


I've just spent 3 hours trying to figure why the ip command hasn't been working.

I'm astonished such a basic networking command would be busted on a routing device.

So it's still broken in build 21676 mega, which I'm running on an Asus RT-N66U.

This affects me as well. The command 'ip addr' doesn't return anything. Same goes for 'ip link'.

'ip route' and 'ip neigh show' works.
