Hi,

Is there anyone runs Kamikaze 2.4 kernel, openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx, on Netgear WGT634U instead of 2.6 kernel openwrt-wgt634u-2.6-squashfs.bin?

Since there is no JTAG, got to ask and make sure it's safe wont brick the WGT634U.

thanks in advance!

How old is your 2.4 image?

For a long time now OpenWrt Kamikaze only provides a image with a 2.6 Kernel for the Netgear WGT634U.

I mean just the most current 2.4 image from download section under Kamikaze. Would it be safe to load on WGT634U instead of 2.6? This Netgear has a USB port plus 32MB RAM, I thought better than my WRT54G.

I want to get Asterisk loaded on WGT634U, but I couldn't find 2.6 kernel compiled 1.4.13 Asterisk ipk. Besides, with 2.6 running on WGT634U, I failed to setup WPA sta nonbeacon link using wpa_supplicant to my whiterussian WRT54G AP co-exists with a WPA AP using hostapd, on madwifi it supports 4AP+1sta in theory. So want to try my luck on 2.4 kernel.

Hi,

I don´t know if a 2.4 image will work. but if you have access to the bootloader through a serialconsolecable, you normally can´t brick your  wgt634u completely with installing  an image. you can always download another image with tftp.
Without a serialconsole-cable you should be careful because I think the cfe of the wgt634u has no automatic tftp-upload. so you need access to the bootloader to start the tftp-transfer.

but I would try to get it working with the 2.6 kernel.
the sta- and ap-configuration. I had it done on a fonera (atheros2.6 with atheros-wifi) so I think it should work on the  wgt634u too.

and you can compile asterix 1.4.11. for the 2.6 kernel (I don´t use it, but it compiles just fine), I don´t know where you get the version 1.4.13, because the newest version (also in trunk) that you can get from the openwrt-project is 1.4.11

I tried for days of setting up WPA AP and STA with hostapd and wpa_supplicant.

I read sample setup online, for AP and STA from madwifi site, it most talking about non-WPA, WEP or just open to world non-encrypted. Would love to get some help on how to setup AP and sta with WPA on my WGT634U. When I created ath0 and ath1, ath0 for  hostapd, ath1 for wpa_supplicant, wpa_cli status shows it never completes the handshake. Most of the time is associating. But if I remove hostapd just create the ath0 with sta, use ath0 for wpa_supplicant, it would complete handshake in seconds.
Forgot to mention I couldn't never get brctl works with WPA_supplicant sta ath0 interface. If I do brctl addif br-lan ath0, the connected WPA link would drop back to associating forever and ifconfig shows ath0 down.
Linksys' nas is much stable compared to madwifi, I was able to setup WPA wds and ap with different SSID co-exist on the same WRT54G.

For asterisk, here is the link for 4.1.13.

Zandbelt puts his great effort maintained a up-to-date working stream of ipk packages for Openwrt. I was just to copy the link here in this post just now and found out he already compiled it for 2.6 kernel last night/This morning.

Thank you, Zandbelt!!!

The asterisk package from openwrt was outdated. I use Zandbelt's version to run asterisk on openwrt providing some wonderful features for my home phone systems.
I have my PSTN line routed into asterisk by a SPA3102, I got SIP line from vbuzzer for $2/month plus free talking to gtalk users from my home phone. And scripted in home automation heyu with asterisk so I can call to turn a light on/off, just for fun...
