Hi,

The firmware for the Vodafone Easybox 904 LTE router
can be downloaded from vodafone's website:


http://www.vodafone.de/business/hilfe-support/support-firmware-easybox-904-lte-modem_209581.html

with a copyright statement below, which
does not mention the GPL, but instead forbids
copying, modification and distribution.

Binwalk of the firmware image reveals:

  OS Kernel Image:
  MIPS LTQCPE Linux-2.6.32.32, created: Thu Oct 18 08:14:59 2012

  Squashfs filesystem, little endian, version 4.0, compression: lzma,
  size: 13386749 bytes, 2080 inodes, blocksize: 131072 bytes,
  created: Thu Oct 18 08:15:30 2012

Looks like there is OpenWRT installed.
Enrico appears to have extracted the Squashfs content on his website.
I was unable to mount the filesystem myself though

  SQUASHFS error: Filesystem uses "lzma" compression.
  This is not supported

Any ideas how I could fix that?

Cheers, Matthias
