KAMIKAZE (8.09.1, r16278)

root@OpenWrt:~# dbhub
dbhub: can't resolve symbol '__uClibc_start_main'

gives me this error !!!          please help

Whatever "dbhub" is, it was compiled for the wrong uClibc version.

Yarrrr goddamnit guys, I was in the middle of some major haxoring while the -RC2 repository was pulled from below my feet Time to reflash and recompile toolchain...

What solution would be to install dbhub on Kamikaze (8.09.1, r16278) or that you could recommend me an Asus WL500 GP V2
   pls help

Gotta love folks that hijack news threads instead of starting their own... 

Devs, great work on 8.09.2!

Whether the monitor mode is available on WRT54GL for this version kamikaze? In 8.09.1 was not available.

PrzemWas

I installed Kamikaze (8.09.2, r18961) but still gives me the same error when I start .. :
    root @ OpenWrt: ~ # dbhub
dbhub: can not resolve symbol '__uClibc_start_main'
root @ OpenWrt: ~ #
 

  I installed and packages for dbhub: libpthread - libssl but unfortunately the same story
   What can you recommend a router WL500 gp v2??? dbhub want to install it.

Or what version of openwrt (or something) on an Asus wl500gp v2 run dbhub

Congratulation. Great job, guys!!! Looking forward to upgrade my old trusty WGT634U.

@felesteanu: Why don't you use trac to report a bug?! Spaming the forum is bad idea...

Very nice.

I'm looking forward to installing 8.09.2 on my WL500gP v1 with atheros wifi card.

Do you expect to make brcm47xx Wi-Fi working for the next version? Will it be soon?

It more or less depends on the progress of b43, it works okay in current trunk revisions but is not on-par with the performance of wl.o

Hi,

openwrt developers, thanks for your great work!

Is it possible to do a direct upgrade from 8.09.1 to 8.09.2 via opkg?

Something like that:
sed -i 's/8.09.1/8.09.2/' /etc/opkg.conf
opkg update
opkg upgrade

Or is it necessary to reinstall openwrt completely?
I am running my openwrt installation from an USB device. From my point of view it should be possible to do a direct upgrade via opkg.

Regards Claus

"last" as "latest" / "newest" or maybe "there won't be any more updates for 8.09" ?

Hi Claus,

I might be mistaken, but I think you can "upgrade" using mtd command directly from device itself. Beware you WILL loose all your settings, as this will overwrite device's flash...
