Hi Jonas, I eventually managed to get eth0 to work, without too much effort as it turns out, once I concentrated on the ethernet and understood how the platform data hangs together.
Fixing eth1, on the otherhand, has caused me several late nights with no reward (more below) So shortly I will submit a series of patches to add support for the DIR632 - without eth1 (wan) functionality working. Hopefully they conform as required... I have other tasks that need my attention for a while, and fixing eth1 needs input from people who have more experience working with ethernet drivers :-) At least, this will allow the DIR-632 to be added as 'partial support', and usable by anyone who has a use case that doesn't require the wan port (e.g. wireless repeater, basic switch, etc.) If they badly need wan support they can use my unofficial patches for the interim With eth1, after a couple of false starts and fixing obvious things like being able to register platform mdio.1, I ended up instrumenting DD-WRT to trace every register write, switch register and mdio write, and it appears that the ar71xx_ag7240.c has quite a lot of differences - where the DD-WRT driver writes to many registers on the switch and mdio that are not touched by OpenWRT. I started by naively adding the missing calls, but then finally stalled when I realised there is a whole interrupt handler missing from openwrt. If you like I can post my partial work to my github or here, but first I want to get the rest of the board into the trunk if at all possible. hope this helps, Andrew On 30/04/13 21:41, Jonas Gorski wrote: > On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at 1:58 PM, Andrew McDonnell > <b...@andrewmcdonnell.net> wrote: >> >> This patch adds ethernet and switch support - ag7240 ethernet driver >> incorporating RTL8309 switch and S26 switch support - for the D-link DIR 632 >> router (hardware version A1) based on DD-WRT r20421.
