Hi
I need some help setting up my fonera router.
1) I'm using OLSR as dynamic routing Protocol. I need to adjust some of the settings (the the olsr webplugin uses Port 8080 - which is used already). I found the configfile /tmp/olsrd.conf but all changes get lost after reboot. How do I make my changes permanent?
2) How can I disable interface br0:0 with this funny little 169.254.255.1 IP adress? I don't know where this interface came from, but I don't want this IP to appear in my dynamic routing. I don't see any option in the web control pannel. And I just don't understand the way the (network) configs are stored on dd-wrt. I'd really like to learn how that works.
Coming from OpenWRT's Kamikaze I'm used to configs being written to files in /etc. As far as I can seen this is a little different here...
It seem to emulate an "WRT like" NVRAM on the fonera's flash to store configs. But in addition to the NVRAM Partition there's also an /etc Directory and /tmp holds some configfiles as well. How do these configs correlate? And which of them are reboot-safe.
Oh, and how do I find out the Version of olsrd? "olsrd --version" doesn't work...
Thanx for helping !

all config files are generated by the system. nothing is stored. so all settings are stored in the nvram. you cannot compare this with whiterussion. the br0:0 interface is created as well by the system itself, since it was requested by many people as fallback ip _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

Sorry for re-opening this post... but I have a related question.
I use dd-wrt on my fonera for olsrd routing. Now I have the problem, that in olsrd a plugin is configured that routes all internet-traffic to my network. Since I don't have an internet connection this is not good.
How can I configure olsrd permanently to not install that plugin? How can I store my changes to /tmp/olsrd.conf permanently? Or do I have to build dd-wrt v24 myself for that?
Sorry, but that doesn't help! My question was for v24 final and if you would have read my post, you could read that my olsrd is running already. I have got a problem with how to store my configuration permanently.
BTW: where is the wiki site you mentioned to write in another post?
Now I have the problem, that in olsrd a plugin is configured that routes all internet-traffic to my network. Since I don't have an internet connection this is not good.
The configuration of olsrd defines "olsrd_dyn_gw_plain" to be loaded, which seems to propagate the default route to my node for internet access. But I don't have internet. I want to use olsrd to access the internet.
Everytime olsrd starts that plugin is loaded and I want to know how to disable it. permanently.
I knew that wiki page. Didn't look who wrote it. It's okay, and it helps to configure olsrd. But it doesn't say which plugins are loaded. And it doesn't help a bit to my question.
