After installing OpenWRT on dozens of WRT54GL, WRTSL54GS, and Asus 500Gp's, it is time to move to a platform with a faster processor. I would like your assistance loading Kamikaze the Gateworks Avila GW-2348-4. I'll apologize for what may turn out to be an easy question in advance.
I have a fairly impressive IPSec VPN running White Russian .9 on the WRTSL54GS . I am getting around 4.2Mbps using AES-128 encryption. I would like to be able to use AES-256 at 10Mbps+ without maxing out the CPU. (ok, I'm getting off topic.)
Here is what I did to flash the Avila GW2348-4:
fis init -f
load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-avila-2.6-zImage
fis create kernel
load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-ixp4xx-2.6-squashfs.img
fis create rootfs
This is what I get when I reboot:

nbd asked skycode to make a larger rootfs partition in another thread. Assuming that this is the same problem I am having, I still need some help.
http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=11809
DD-WRT has step by step directions to flash the GW-2348. I would be happy to write a WIKI page for OpenWRT once I get this figured out.
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/In … sor_GW2348
The docs to flash the GW-2348 are located here for anyone else looking for more information.
http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-latest/ … ystem.html
Update:
I tried searching for "fis create" and found the Kamikaze Installation
http://wiki.x-wrt.org/index.php/Kamikaz … ot_devices
The section on computing free space is one of the things I was missing.
http://wiki.x-wrt.org/index.php/Kamikaz … space_size
I am much closer to a working router using the following commands.
fis init -f
load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-avila-2.6-zImage
fis create kernel
fis free
load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-ixp4xx-2.6-squashfs.img
fis create -l 0xE60000 rootfs (Replace 0xE60000 with the value you calculated from fis free.)
Right now I'm trying to figure out why eth0 does not work. Logread shows dhcpdiscover and dhcpoffer. The workstation is not getting an IP address and setting a static IP address does not work.
Update 2:
I'm not sure exactly what I did but the ethernet ports are now working. I added the wan section to /etc/config/network and entered "ifup wan" to bring up eth1.
The following thread may be of some help to those getting started with Kamikaze.
http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=11451
root@OpenWrt:/etc/config# cat network
# Network configuration file
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 ifname eth0
option proto static
option ipaddr 192.168.1.1
option netmask 255.255.255.0
config interface wan
option ifname eth1
option proto dhcp
The last thing I did was to install the X-WRT Web Interface by following the instructions here.
http://wiki.x-wrt.org/index.php/Kamikaz … t_Kamikaze
So far, so good. My next project is to figure out what I am going to do for an IPSec VPN. Kamikaze replaced OpenSwan with IPSec-Tools with the kernel change from 2.4 to 2.6. I have a project that might not work with IPSec-Tools. Anyway, I'm getting off-topic again.
Thank You,
Kevin
