However, one thig I did notice: when I run top, it reports that over 90% CPU is occupied all of the time, oscillating between the following two tasks:

Code:

 9695 root     R        516  9689 97.4  0.8 hotplug-call

Code:

 9705 root     R        528   622 97.8  0.8 default.script

I fixed this issue. It was due to using dhcp for both the router's connection to the ADSL modem and on the lan.

I set the ADSL modem to bridge mode, and I made sure that I had all of the pppoe related packages installed.

Code:

ipkg list_installed | grep ppp
kmod-ppp - 2.4.34-brcm-1 -
kmod-pppoe - 2.4.34-brcm-1 -
ppp - 2.4.3-8 -
ppp-mod-pppoe - 2.4.3-8 -

Then I modified /etc/config/network file so that it read:

Code:

config interface        wan
        option ifname   "eth0.1"
        option proto    pppoe
        option macaddr  "00:17:31:c5:41:79"
        option username "user@isp.com"
        option password "password"
        option keepalive 10

... but with the correct username & password, of course.

Now it is all sweet.

Kam 7.09 is now stable and working OK.

If I get brave, I am going to add a web server next ...

I installed lighttpd and a .php webmail application, and I have checked it from a remote login. Still sweet.

This is now by far the best state I have EVER had this box running in.

Web server, printer daemon, Xwrt, Xmail server, mldonkey daemon as a "download master", Samba 3.0, correct dnsmasq ... all working a treat.

Next I might be trying out MySql for the first time.

Thankyou to back2basic for your effort here. Kamikaze is still a beast to install and configure, but once you have version 7.09 going it is the best solution for wl700ge yet.

How does it work? Do i got a GUI for config the router? The Firmware is only 1,85 MB big -.-. Can someone describe it with pictures or make an video please?

you will probably find it too overwhelming if you have no experience working in a command prompt... Anyways there are some great step-by-step guides here: http://http://wl700g.homelinux.net/drupal/?q=node/145

But again, ask yourself what you want to accomplish by switching firmware. You can install a web gui, much like the ASUS one, but not as user friendly, and besides you'll still need to do some work in the command prompt.

to config the router I use dropbear and x-wrt(pictures @ http://x-wrt.org)
After the complete setup of the system you have several different web if
expl. one for the mldonkey, one for you lightppd webserver(php & mysqladmin), one for sabnzbd

the firmware is only 1,85 MB but after completion its about 500 MB ( Mine is

)

Hello,

I am a happy user of the Kfurge image and personally I don't have valid reasons to switch to OpenWrt but one: 2.6 kernel. Unfortunately, I guess that kam7.09.trx image is based on the "brcm-2.4" platform which means a 2.4 kernel. Anyone interested in building a "brcm47xx-2.6" based image (kernel 2.6)?

think you would need this patch: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/2516

and if I'm not mistaken 2.6 will disable your wireless

It seems that the support for BCM43xx will be included in the upcoming 2.6.24 kernel (http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_2...87fc6c22ab368b). Maybe this is the reason developers are not actively trying to fix it in OpenWrt.

I compiled a new Image and set the boot timer to 15 sec It was 10 before
So now the hdd boots fine. maybe you can give it a try http://wl700g.homelinux.net/drupal/?q=node/145

Hi,
I just installed the kam7.09V2.trx on my new wl700gE. Installation seems to be ok, but I cant cd to the root ( / ) if I try, the router hangs and I have to power cycle. For the same reason (at least I think so) all the scripts to boot from different sources in /sbin fail (I tried to boot from a usb pen but the script hanged when trying to copy the /usr/lib/ipkg and in fact if I try to browse to that folder manually the router hangs.).
If I mount the usb part1 I can see the partial files the script tried to copy until it hanged.

Can anyone help me (Im newbye, so please be patient).
Thanlks and bye.

Pino.

This is my df

root@OpenWrt:/usr/lib# df

Have you followed all of the setup instructions?

It seems to me that you are still running the raw firmware, and you haven't yet switched root to either the hdd or to usb.

Setup root on hdd:
http://wl700g.homelinux.net/portal/content/view/31/30/

Setup root on USB:
http://wl700g.homelinux.net/portal/content/view/32/30/

I myself use the hdd, and I have partitioned the hdd to have three partions, one for NAS use, one for the root OS and applications, and one for swap.

Here is the way it ends up:

Code:

# df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
none                     31464        32     31432   0% /tmp

/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 150878843  13942686 129269939  10% /hdd

Code:

# fdisk -l

                                Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1               1         244     1959898+ 83 Linux
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2           19333       20023     5550457+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3             245       19332   153324360  83 Linux

Partition table entries are not in disk order

Code:

# mount

/dev/root on /rom type squashfs (ro)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)

Hey,
Thanks a lot for your help.
Thats what I was trying to do but running: /sbin/root2x.sh scsi 0 part1
hangs the router when the script tried to copy the folder /usr/lib/ipkg so it never completes.
Btw if I understand the raw firmware has no root, so Its normal that I cant cd to / ? if so why does root2x scsi 0 part1 hang?
Another thing is that every change to nvram variables have no effects. I tried to change my ip from 192.168.1.1 to another and even if I committed and the lan_ipaddr is really changed, I sill have the router on 192.168.1.1. Is that normal too?

Here is my actual situation:

Code:

root@OpenWrt:/# df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
none                     31464        28     31436   0% /tmp

mini_fo:/jffs             1216      1216         0 100% /

Code:

(I have to manually mount the usb stick to /mnt)
I also noticed that the router cant see the internal HDD. I didnt even try it yet cos I wanted to setup the stick too. Is that normal? Im a bit worried it cant be detected..hehe.
EDIT: I rebooted and now it seems the hdd is there..it really scared me...hehe

try the Kam7.09.trx It is more stable than the v2.
change root 2 usbstick
/sbin/root2x.sh scsi 0 part1

**puppinoo** · 02-12-2007, 16:30

Hey back2basic, thanks a lot for your work.

Ok so how do I switch. I just pit the router in service mode and upload the trx as usual, or there is some other thing I have to do to delete the older kamikaze?
(I checked and since root2 script never ends the nvram variable to choose the boot hasnt been created)

Code:

root@OpenWrt:/# nvram show | grep boot
size: 2239 bytes (30529 left)
boot_wait=off
root@OpenWrt:/#

/sbin/root2x.sh scsi 0 part1

P.s.: Is there any mirc channel where you guys meet?

EDIT:
HEY It worked!

the script completed successfully using the Kam7.09.trx. Now I can cd to root and I have:

Code:

root@OpenWrt:/sbin# df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
none                     31464         4     31460   0% /tmp
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1    981113     27678    903584   3% /

So whats the problem with the missing delay. I heard it could hang the boot since the hdd is not initialized properly. Could it work for me too now?

Btw it works so far.
Now I follow the other tutorials to install stuff.
Thanks a lot.
Pino.
