Hello,

anyone here with a running openwrt (non-experimental) on a 2Mb WAP54G. The device has only 8 Mb RAM - I know there are others because my own box has 4Mb/16Mb. Any openwrt customizations needed or does it run out of the box (I've noticed the some changes in openwrt/kernel/diag.c obviously for a working reset switch. Switch working?)

TIA, Sven-Ola

Check where your WAP's reset button is located. I've found the ones with the reset button next to the ethernet port to be complete and utter buggers to work with since their boot_wait doesn't work at all.

Unfortunately I've never managed to get one of these going with openwrt.

I have one victim, who has tried a prerelease of the freifunk firmware on his 2Mb WAP. Everything is working well so far, but firstboot seems to run with no effect - the device obviously stays in failsafe.

Unfortunately that bloke is no techie, so I'am looking for a more versatile victim right now. Here are some debug outputs:

(Note that Freifunk Firmware set boot_wait within /etc/preinit and also tries to init dropbear as part of the process. To overcome the 8MB Ram Limit, I do not load the wl.o driver in Failsafe right now)

For this reason, I'am asking for some background info on this topic.

TIA, Sven-Ola
