Hi everybody, this is my first post but i want to cooperate with this incredible project.
My config is a fonera flashed with dd-wrt v24 070307 firmware. I see that eth0 port have a fallback ip config with 169.254.255.1 and netmask 255.255.255.0. I think it will be better to config with netmask 255.255.0.0 so windows clients that have dhcp in its network adapter could connect directly to the fonera via 169.254.255.1. Now the fallback ip for windows is randomized in a class B (169.254.x.x) but dd-wrt configs the ip in a class C (169.254.255.x).
I've been searching around the filesystem where could be the config for this eth0 alias but i didn't find it. Colud somebody tell me where i can find it?
