Hello all,

as I'm trying to get some hardware working that is only supported under Linux 2.6, I was glad to see that Kamikaze 7.07 got to the point of rebooting my WL-HDD (and not every 2 seconds, like earlier versions did Now I try to get the USB running, but it refuses. When I install the usb-packages and do
insmod usbcore
insmod ohci-hcd
I only get (from 'dmesg')

usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new interface driver hub
usbcore: registered new device driver usb
ohci_hcd: 2006 August 04 USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver

But no recognition of the USB-ports. So I thought that it'll take some time to get the cp2101-driver running, but I'm stuck even before that! Does anybody have a WL-HDD and runs it successfully with Kamikaze 7.07, linux 2.6 and uses USB?

Thanks in advance,

Ineiti

Hi  These are the base packages I install to get usb storage working
kmod-fs-ext2 kmod-fs-ext3 fdisk  e2fsprogs libuuid kmod-usb2 kmod-usb-core kmod-usb-storage kmod-scsi-core

I had the same problem on the USR5461, and it turns out that CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD_SSB was disabled.
See also https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/2437 .

Will that be included in the latest version of Kamikaze? I'm behind a quite expensif internet-access, so I don't want to download the whole developement-tree...

Thanks,

Linus

Hi ineiti,

did you try to install 7.09? I have got a WGT634u, USB works with 7.06 and 7.09 for me, but on 7.07 it doesn't.

Best regards,
Thomas

*sigh* I have to admit I'm slowly descending into madness regarding the WL-HDD. I dug mine out today, confident that it would work now with 2.6 right away.

Well, it doesn't. I have tried..
- a self-compiled image
- http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/7 … uashfs.trx
- the same for 7.07
- various other .bin files, like openwrt-wrt54g-2.6-squashfs.bin with the extra headers removed

None of these work, with the single exception of openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx.

Could somebody who has a 2.6 kernel running on her or his WL-HDD please tell me the exact steps that were required?
It would probably be best if someone could also send me an image (TRX) that is known to work.

I'm getting the impression that somehow I have messed up the NVRAM and the 2.6 kernel chokes on some setting in there.. but thats only speculation until I have tried an image which does work on another WL-HDD.. so I would be eternally grateful if somebody could help me with this.

Yours, Florian

hi!
the 7.09 squashfs trx worked for me, without wireless. i'm now trying the latest svn to get it with the wl-hdd working. some minor issues, at the moment i'm compiling. r10436 worked more or less with wlan-client and usb.

bye...masc.

Hm.. that is something. So you took the 7.09 TRX file from the Downloads section? Could you do me a big favor and send me an
NVRAM dump from your WL-HDD? My email address is: floe butterbrot org (insert punctiation as needed ;-).

Thanks a lot, Yours, Florian
