[OpenWrt-Devel] WNDR3800 wifi and collectd issues - r38991
Hi, I just built this while trying to resolve an Android connectivity issue (I'd been running r37866 previously) on a NetGear WNDR3800, and the new build seems somewhat better, but I've noticed a couple of odd things - I'm wondering if these are known issues, or if I should submit bugs on them. For the build, I had to manually re-configure busybox to enable readlink support - this was disabled by default, and without it my wifi wouldn't start at all. Once I built with readlink support, Luci shows the wifi interfaces as disabled, even though they are up and running. This means I don't get any information about associated stations, and the interfaces incorrectly report as down. The second thing was that collectd's graphs don't load - I end up with the following error message (it doesn't matter which graph I try to view): This page contains the following errors: error on line 181 at column 136: EntityRef: expecting ';' Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error. I did preserve the previous configuration, if that makes a difference on the wifi issues. Thanks for any info about these issues and if they're known.

[OpenWrt-Devel] Trying to identify a wifi issue
DIR-825 router here running r32492 (but this issue has been going on with builds for a couple months now - I wish I knew which release was the last it wasn't a problem with). On about a daily basis, I've found it necessary to restart the wifi interface on my router - it stops responding to devices connecting to it and the only way to get it going again is to kick the interfaces by running /sbin/wifi. I'd like to troubleshoot this issue and identify what's causing it to lose wifi - but not sure where to start. The timing isn't completely predictable (but usually it's in the morning first thing that I need to kick it to get it working). Where's a good place to start trying to identify the issue?

[OpenWrt-Devel] Any known issues with Luci logins (r31835)
For the past few days, I've been updating to the latest SVN code, and I'm
seeing that when I try to login to luci, I get a failed username/password.
I can ssh to the router (pubkey authentication), but changing the root
password doesn't affect my ability to login to the web interface.
I have strace installed on the router and have pulled logs of a version
earlier this week - here's what strace showed on the relevant thread

PID 9612 is the forked thread that seems to be handling the
authentication. I attached strace to the running uhttpd thread to get
this info.
I can see that it's opening the shadow file, but can't see where it's
actually validating the password.
The PPID has a similar line that includes the user ID (root) and password
string, but it seems that this forked thread pops up almost immediately
afterwards.
opkg shows a number of luci-related updates available along the lines of:
luci - 0.9+svn8682-1 - trunk+svn8682-1
And if I upgrade to trunk+svn8682-1 (which I have to force because luci-
admin-full has some conflicting files), then I can login, but most of the
administration option pages have various and sundry errors on them that
prevent it from being used for administration - I can watch live traffic
and historical data, but I wasn't able to perform administration on
anything that I tried (LAN/WAN interfaces primarily).
Where do I go from here - or is there other info that would be more
useful to track this down?

Thanks, that is probably it - I also am updating an old config from earlier builds, and going through the busybox options (after running the diff script - something I need to remember to do when weirdness happens), I saw that it was disabled.

The iMac station will be disconnected 3 or 4 times in a row, and then it is fine for at least a day and sometimes more. Other stations remain connected. I guess what I'm getting at is that you might want to put a few different wireless chipsets and drivers connected to the AP, and see if they are affected as well. Unfortunately, I still have fairly minimal testing with the G300NH2 when compared to the G300NH. -M I reported a similar issue a couple weeks ago with my D-Link DIR-825 (also uses the ath9k driver). Devices that dropped here included android phones, Nook 1st generation e-readers, Dell Toshiba laptops, and a PS3. The Dell laptops run openSUSE 11.4, the Toshiba runs Windows 7. The Dell laptops include one with a Broadcom chipset and one with an Intel chipset. In my case, when the wireless would quit working, dhcp wouldn't hand out addresses on the wireless connection. The wired stations on the router had no problems at all. In the end, I ended up reverting to build 27572, which I knew worked prior to the upgrade.

Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] Is there a way to verify an image before flashing it to the route (and bricking it)?

What I did was that I compiled the images from the source, and then upload them to the routers. Sometimes they work. However, in two of the instances, I changed some options, and . bricked the routers (even the build and the flashing were all successful). I am just wondering, when I try to build the image from the source again in the future, should I just cross my finger and hope that the image will work? Or is there any way to verify the correctness of an image before I flash it to the router? Probably depends a lot on the router - some routers use a bootloader that's outside of the flashed firmware (my D-Link DIR-825 is one like that) that if you brick it, there's a recovery console that doesn't require a serial connection or JTAG connector to use.

That's good to know - I didn't notice that distclean was an option, and have been just doing a make clean make world - so will change my workflow to do distclean instead. When I run into build issues, I normally wait at least one additional release before reporting an issue (and take some time to look through the svn logs to see what might've caused a problem - I usually try to pinpoint the cause of the problem so I can make a useful report). In this case, I'd had some troubles for about a day and nothing in the logs was making it clear to me why I was seeing a problem (indeed, the only updates seemed to be for a different platform than what I build for).

But you said earlier that a later revision (22388) works; so, why bother ? Furthermore, these changesets don't seem to have anything to do with your problem. I think a clean checkout of r22385 would work; it's just that sometime, by doing a specific update/compile pattern, you end up with a non-working build. It's sad but can be fixed quickly by cleaning. 22388 didn't build for me. Joseph said a fresh checkout built from him. What process do you use to clean the offending package? I just meant make package/foo/clean I'll give that a try.

Yes, it's confusing. Maybe it should be in a FAQ. Finding the root cause may be interesting, but I think that to most people here, the benefits don't outweight the cost of tracking down these bugs.

I don't know now why I went all the way back to r22344, I think I must've mistyped (meaning to go to 84), but I noticed the build date when going in to update the feeds. Something I do wish the feeds script would do (maybe it does?) is update to the same date/time as the main build. I end up manually going in and using svn update to update feeds/packages, feeds/xwrt, and feeds/luci (by date) to make sure I'm on the sources that would've been downloaded at the same time as the main openwrt code repository. It's not difficult to do, but if the feeds script could figure that out, that would be awesome for tracking things like this down. :-) I'll probably identify which is the last release to build tomorrow morning, it looks like r22380 is going to be successful, so I'll jump ahead to r22384 and try that next - that'll probably run while I'm sleeping.

[OpenWrt-Devel] Building for the DIR-825
Hi, I've just started using openwrt on a D-Link DIR-825 (as those who also read the user list are probably already aware), and in trying to troubleshoot a DLNA issue, I'd like to try the latest experimental firmware pulled from the source repository. In configuring the firmware image, I have been comparing to the pre-built image's setup, and I haven't been able to determine what kernel driver I need to install for the ethernet interfaces and/or switch. The wiki page says it's a RealTek RTL8366SR, but I don't see any RealTek drivers loaded on the router with the snapshot installed on it. Is my assumption that selecting the DIR-825 target automatically selects the necessary driver, or is there anything further I need to do? Also, I'm wondering if the configuration file used for the snapshot is available somewhere so I can look at the options selected for that build. Thanks, Jim ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
