How do I find out what kernel version DD-WRT is using? (what command?) I'm assuming newer versions will use newer versions of the kernel and
http://fon.testbox.dk/packages/

This has folders going to the respective kernel versions, and I have no idea which one to choose for RC7-9419..

I tried flashing with Legend pre-4.5 stable and it appears to work.. I can see and connect to the Legend AP, but it will never assign me an IP, and even through ethernet I can't ping/access it at 192.168.1.1.

I can however ping the router through another router using telnet. But even then, after about a minute the pinging will fail again until I reboot the Fonera with Legend.

Whats wrong here?

lol ok, so RC7-9419 uses 2.6.23.17, while that packages folder has up to 2.6.23.16... Do you think they'll still work?

I tried flashing the Fonera again with Legend and now I can access it at 192.168.1.1, but it errors:

Quote:
Could not open file.
awx: /www/cgi-bin/webif/info.awx:73: Call to undefined function

Its ability to be pinged and accessed dies quickly (again) though, and connecting to its Legend AP still doesn't get me an IP address. There is no new activity in the serial console between the time of first ping and when that dies.

What is this, what do I do? Confused

Follow this. I've tried it and it works.

Thanks, that fixed it.
The router appears to be crashing though. First symptom is that it stops responding to pings, but SSH and the webif still respond. Then after maybe 2+ minutes, everything stops responding except serial. The only things I did were flashing the firmware, reinstalling webif, and setting a password.

It is getting annoying, I'll try flashing my other F*n and see how it behaves, but whats going on? :(

EDIT:
Other F*n "crashes" too.

Not sure about the crashing. My airodump refuses to capture packets on chn1 after a while. I select chn1, but it does chn6 instead. What's the point of that when I want chn1? Rolling Eyes

btw, webif is ok for me. I've the AP turned off, and the legend fonera connected to my main router through ethernet.

Is there some relation with the Static IP you set for the wlan in the webif and the router's IP through the LAN? I got this notion before when I changed the lan IP only, and could only access the router at the original 192.168.1.1 still. I turned off the radio and now the router never responds to pings.

Hi to all... after reading all of the 16 pages, i've tryed to mod my f*n 2200 with an 256mb sd card.
I've already tryed all of the wires and points that you all mentioned, and finaly i have only connected sd pin 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

I'm connected with serial cable to see all the logs, and mmc never appears on /dev

if i try to install (26215-fon2200Driver14_762.ipk) i get system halted.
What am i doing wrong? how do i activate the driver on your pre-4.5 release from 22/03/2008 ??

Please help me.
Best Regards

The same problem experimented by RoadKiler.

These are the last lines received from the serial console:
Code:

wifi0: mac 11.0 phy 4.8 radio 7.0
wifi0: Use hw queue 1 for WME_AC_BE traffic
wifi0: Use hw queue 0 for WME_AC_BK traffic
wifi0: Use hw queue 2 for WME_AC_VI traffic
wifi0: Use hw queue 3 for WME_AC_VO traffic
wifi0: Use hw queue 8 for CAB traffic
wifi0: Use hw queue 9 for beacons
wifi0: Atheros 2315 WiSoC: mem=0xb0000000, irq=3
mmc : 3-Pin Fon2200 Driver Built for Legend (john@phrozen.org)
The system is going down NOW !!
Sending SIGTERM to all processes.


Requesting system halt.
System halted.


Before flashing back, I would like to understand the error, if any. Thanks

You must be using the older trunk firmware (which I KNOW has this problem). The stable version I put on the site a while ago doesn't do this. I also had a different firmware for the 2200 (older kernel) to avoid this problem. Since you will be upgrading your firmware, you should contact hard_where (DD-WRT user) for the latest Legend. He is continuing the project in my place. Thank you.

By the way, that user you speak of didn't have all of the necessary SD pins connected, he had a very different problem.

Before contacting directly hard_where, these were the steps followed:

[1] The Legend was flashed via serial line and redboot, the version contained in http://fon.testbox.dk/Legend/pre4.5U-STABLE/

[2] The capacitor C66 was removed from PCB.

[3] The SD was wired according to this schema:
SD pin 1 <-> GND
SD pin 2 <-> Bottom of power led resistor
SD pin 3 <-> GND
SD pin 4 <-> +3.3V (upper left corner of reset button)
SD pin 5 <-> Upper right corner of reset button
SD pin 6 <-> GND
SD pin 7 <-> Bottom of wifi led resistor

Everything seemed ok at this point, except no mmc driver.

[4] Now I issued (as I could remember):
$ ipkg install kmod-fs-ext2
...
$ wget http://fon.testbox.dk/packages/mmc/phrozendriver/2.6.21.5/26215-fon2200Driver14_762.ipk
...
$ ipkg install ./26215-fon2200Driver14_762.ipk
...
$ reboot

[5] After correct boot the Fonera halted on loading of mmc driver (even with no SD card connected).

Please, let me understand the fault. Thanks

Hmm. Maybe theres a small detail that's not being exchanged between the two of us. I can tell you for a fact that the Openwrt repository has acquired a newer MMC driver that shouldn't have any of the problems listed here (Rolling Eyes it will probably have new ones). Again, all those who might be interested, speak with hard_where.

The 2.6.22.1 files are gone, and the newest ones i can find is 2.6.21.5. Is there a reason for this? Not working properly or something else?
