Hi all,

I'm tried to use some kinds of dumpster HW here, maybe using it as NAS or such things.

I've tried the Arcor A803 with

http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_a … iq/danube/

but when I try to install the kernel module for the RT3062 it hangs, maybe the cause is this:

https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/10898

So  at least I would need a crossdev environment, what I'm curently not have, most machines here are running FreeBSD.. have to dig later with this.

Next candidate was the Easybox A601 Danube, but switch is RTL8306S, Wifi is Atheros.

I've booted  sucessfully 12.09-rc1/lantiq/danube/uboot-lantiq-arv4520PW_brnboot/

The switch gets recognized, but I can't get any traffic over the LAN Ports.

The Linux Networking at first and the vlan stuff 2nd is new to me, don't had todo much with that (besides on the well known WRT54GL), so im poking around in the dark here. Next is, that I don't know what Port of the RTL8306S is connected to what.

The network config looks like this at the moment:

config interface 'loopback'
        option ifname 'lo'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
        option netmask '255.0.0.0'

config interface 'lan'
        option type 'bridge'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '192.168.50.10'
        option gateway '192.168.50.254'
        option dns '192.168.50.254'
        option netmask '255.255.255.0'
        option ifname 'eth0.1'
                                          
config switch
        option name 'eth0'
        option vlan '1'                
        option ports '3 2 1 0 5'

config adsl-device 'adsl'
        option fwannex 'b'
        option annex 'b2p'

config atm-bridge 'atm'
        option unit '0'
        option vpi '1'
        option vci '32'
        option encaps 'llc'
        option payload 'bridged'

config interface 'wan'
        option ifname 'nas0'
        option proto 'pppoe'
        option username 'foo'
        option password 'bar'

ifconfig output like this:

Can you please give me a hint to setup a simple networking with all the ports bridged thogether (at first)
for this RTL8306S Switch? I can't get any packed transmitted or received trough the LAN Ports but the
PORT-LED is flickering if the box is pinged from the outside so the PHY schould be ok...

Kind Regards,

Holm

Ok, I've managed to brick the A601, reloaded it in the UART Mode (same trick as others, bridge R80 and connect the left pad of R65 to +3,3V) and made further experiments with the
AVR4520 and AVR4518 Frimware.
To make the story short: eighter the Atheros is working or the RTL8306, it seems that I have to build my own firmware for that beasts.

Ok, maybe one can answer at least the quastion how exactly the Openwrt build environment is configured? The provides toolchain isn't of much use for me, I only have FreeBSD 32Bit hosts and I don't want to change that, but it where not the first cross environment that I set up, done that for severals archs in the past.

When I try to do that, I would at least have "compatible" results at the end, so how is the "buildroot-2012.11.1" configured exactly?

Holm
