[OpenWrt-Devel] wifi detect returns nothing (openwrt trunk with RB411 R52 (lspci lists radio as AR5413 802.11abg)

2012-02-27 Thread Brian Hutchinson
Hi, These boxes use to be working but I recently upgraded them to the latest trunk and now my wireless cards are no longer detected. No /etc/config/wireless and trying to generate the file with wifi detect does nothing. Not sure what is going on since everything looks OK. lsmod output is at

So if I want immediate relief from this, I should drop back to Backfire and turn on madwifi in makemenuconfig? About the only Atheros boxes I have to test with are these two RB411's (one with regular R52 radio and one with the high power version of the R52 radio) and a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH

[OpenWrt-Devel] overlayfs vs mini_fo?

2011-09-09 Thread Brian Hutchinson
With 2.6.37 and later, there will be no more mini_fo bugs - mini_fo has been replaced with overlayfs there, which seems to be *much* more stable than mini_fo ever was. - Felix Hi Felix, I missed your original post. I'm on too many lists (18k emails in my inbox ;) ). So you have seen good

You won't see anything from preinit with set -x because when preinit is first called there is no stdin/stdout. Ah, I didn't think of that! I didn't think about running wireshark to capture the script output ... I'll have to look into that.  I'm well versed in wireshark. What is this

Hi, I've never needed to really get into the startup scripts much but now I need to try and understand how the mini_fo union gets set up so I'm trying to learn the startup scripts like preinit. I'm using a Pronghorn SBC (ixp-42xx) and I thought that maybe if I edited preinit and put #!/bin/sh -x
