I've tried both, path of least resistance(ease of use ) = @lifehackisback's.

When going to read large files from hard drive using Samba or minidlna for wifi transfer freezes, Ethernet works well. This happens with all versions except McWRT

@DavidMcWRT

I try to make an image that is accessible to as many people as possible

Kaloz's image is even more minimal

@LookingForMyMojo

I tried to make it user friendly

I'm experiencing wifi hiccups too im trying to see if i can make an image with wlan-7 (available from Mcwrt AA) until mwlwifi become more stable

@Kaloz, would you be able to share the .config/any other modifications outside of git used to make the build you uploaded? It'd be a great starting point for those interested in creating their own builds.

@Lifehacksback FYI, MMilburn and I were working on this (via the McWRT project), but you'll need to also forward-port changes/hacks to hostapd since wlan-v7 relies on some Marvell/Linksys-specific changes there or you'll need to try and lift the previous package from the AA builds there and work forward from there with required updates to function with CC (we suspected a need for netifd-related changes, some of which were in the netifd-backport branch on McWRT where MMilburn backported the latest netifd to AA).

@mmilburn and I were discussing a path forward here the day before Marvell dropped the mwlwifi driver, but we basically shelved it because that driver looks to be a way better path forward generally.  Let me know how I can help there though especially if work on mwlwifi lags, we'll need a viable wireless driver (I'd take stability over pure speed/functions) sooner rather than later.

You can manually force the fan on by logging in to the router with ssh and then running:

echo 1 > /sys/devices/gpio_fan/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1

This will put and keep the fan on (and likely at full speed).

You can then type:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/gpio_fan/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1

to manually turn it off (permanently) again.

If you run Kaloz's most recent 3.18.1 build you should be able to run (in ssh):

sensors

to get temperature readings.

Flashed lifehacksback's build this morning and it's been running great all day

lifehacksback's 3.18.1 build has been running for 4.5 hours for me now.

I've actually spent the evening reading the last 50 pages of posts, starting from Chadster's "This is completed " post right up to the present time.

While this was actually to look something up rather than anything nostalgic, I've ended up re-living the whole thing - the initial success and burst of activity with McWRT, through to Marvell seemingly close-sourcing the driver before then releasing the new upstreamable one and it being incorporated into Trunk, to the latest 3.18.1 Trunk CC builds.

A huge thanks to Chadster, Kaloz and lifehacksback - as well as all the others who have contributed along the way - for getting us to where we are now.

Hi!

I've been installed lifehacksback's 3.18.1 build.
It is well running.
But, not installed kmod-pptp, luci-app-openvpn etc..
Not available --force-depends option.

I've been gone back to McWRT.

Vcool!

I'll flash it soon as I have time

Does the openwrt build have VLAN support? The stock firmware has support.

Great job guys!

2 things

1: opkg update?

2: opkg --force-depends install kmod-pptp & opkg install luci-app-openvpn

does someone have a config file to work off of?  I ask cause i am gonna have to compile a horde of packages... although there are many available I need gawk,sed,ngrep,etc...etc... and i need to build the tool chain etc etc i dont want to just wing this part of it as i may just compile my own img with all pertinent things included

Here is my .config: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vh9ob67vf3n82 … onfig?dl=0

quite minimal with only luci and ext4 as an "extra"

1. sure
2. I do same method.

pptp is not work.(/etc/init.d/pptp is absent.)
openvpn appear at luci GUI but when select openvpn buton, it is appear error message.
kernel version is 3.18, pptp and openvpn version is 3.14

Sorry for my poor english.
Thank you for your reply.

1: opkg --force-depends install openvpn
2: reboot
3: it should work

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------\

Tell me the names of the packages and ill try to build an image just for u

now i may be off on the wrong point, but there was an option in menuconfig for gawk in mcwrt obviously this is not the case in the menuconfig of mvebu  is this something i am just going to have to make from the actual sources from gnu.org?  or am i completely missing the ball

also whats going on with this pivot overlay i hear about

It is not work after reboot.

The packages name is     luci-app-openvpn and kmod-pptp.

Thank you~~~

Thanks for the great work guys, mcwrt was great but openwrt is awesome, I have notice lower cpu usage and the deviceis running much cooler. But I have a couple of issues. I can n8t get usb devices working. I can set them up but the never show up in the home drive I setup. I also can not get openvpn working but that could be me, can any one point me in the right direction on help to set it up.

I did notice wifi on the 2.4g network only works wpa2-psk any other security type and the radio does not transmit

Yeah it seems to be the wireless driver on my macbook under os X 10.10.1 that is causing the connection problems. Not only that but it seems every os except linux has a decrease in performance on wifi in CC compared to AA. Ex: Macbook (2008) using ubuntu 14.10 kernel 3.16, testmy.net on 5GHz wifi an average of 163.2 mbps while a 2010 imac connected via wifi running 10.10.1 has an average of 74.8 mbps. Both are next to my router. Wire performance is comparable amongst all os. Maybe is the drivers or maybe is a new way CC might be dealing with connections? Maybe the Marvell driver is a bit unstable? Personally i dont know, but i will have to flash AA until wifi works on my Macbook under OS X since linux kills the battery on my macbook.

Let me quess it kills it since you've upgraded os x

HA! Well I'm dual booting because i like linux much more than os x but sometimes i just need to surf the web and stuff and just need the extra battery life since: trackpad on linux is wonky and brightness cant be managed

Do you have a fork repo where you do your work on the driver? Any updates you'd like to share?

Thank you for your work!

Update: could you upload ur config? I was looking through ur installed packages and it shows u enabled dnsmaq and ipv6tables etc while in mine i enabled dnsmsq6. Any difference? is one better than the other? i mean both our build have ipv6 working. also your build luci has the {N, auto} on the 2.4 radio while default bootstrap (mine) continues to default to {AC, 36} did u compile with a newer version of the wifi drivers? if so I cant wait till they are up-streamed   All the best

Well, touchpad is fine for me with Ubuntu 14.10 and 3.18.1. For the battery issue look at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85881

I push everything to trunk when it's ready. If you want to help in testing, I can provide interim images as well
