I have an Asus WL500gP and want to install the current Kamikaze 2.4 trunk. Unfortunately there's no usb-hid (aka usb-keyboard) support available. Is there any chance to get usb-hid working on the current Kamikaze 2.4 trunk? Can somebody tell me how to do it? Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem with kamikaze8.09.2
there is no HID support. did you found a solution?
because I want to add a usb-num-pad for controlling my mpd (by empcd). my numpad is listed by lsusb:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1241:1503 Belkin
but there is no /dev/input directory.
what do I miss for using my numpad?
thanks jan

Isn't there a kmod-hid which you could install?

I can't find it here: http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8 … /packages/
do you have an idea where I can found this package? right know I don't want to build my own openwrt...
thanks j

can I use this one here: http://code.google.com/p/flabbyboxx/downloads/list
probably I need the two kmod-input...ipk too, right?

My repos (trunk) contain a kmod-hid and a kmod-usb-hid

Why the f*ck dont you people upgrade to at least backfire? Obsolete versions are actually not supported any longer.

Although, http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8 … /packages/  does contain the packages as well.

Edit: Ah ok, sorry: They are indedely missing here:  http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8 … /packages/

Please search yourself if they are present in current releases. Or you may need to compile yourself.

I know, next step would be to upgrade to backfire. but these packages are missing for backfire (brcm2.4), too. so I probably have to get into compiling openwrt myself... but first I try with flabbybox'x ipk.

Depending on your WiFi requirements, you could try the FOSS drivers:  http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/brcm47xx/

I have an Asus WL-500W.
because there were some problems with the wifi-card (Broadcom 4329) on kernel 2.6 I'm using 2.4 with wl-mimo.
do you know if this is still the same with backfire?

No idea.

The Linux WiFi drivers are being developed here: http://wireless.kernel.org/  Check there for the status of your driver.

You could then consider employing trunk instead of Backfire.

update to this topic with successful result:
1. flabbybox'x ipk don't work for my kamikaze8.09.2, these were made for older kernel
2. I found kmod-input-core and kmod-input-evdev for kamikaze8.09.2 somewhere on the internet, now also on my site:
http://www.dddesign.ch/Js_retroplayer/k … mipsel.ipk
http://www.dddesign.ch/Js_retroplayer/k … mipsel.ipk
3. install these two packages on your kamikaze-router
4. now HID is still missing and I found no package for kamikaze8.09.2 on the net but instead the hid.o module which can be installed "by hand":
- ssh to your router
- cd /lib/modules/2.4.35.4
- wget http://www.dddesign.ch/Js_retroplayer/hid.o
- insmod hid.o
and a new modules.d config file is needed:
- cd /etc/modules.d
- add file "61-usb-hid" with "hid" as content
done. reboot and you will find your input events in /dev/input
