HOW TO: Get basic router functionality from the openWRT firmware

[hmantsao]

please help
Part 2. Configuring the router
Some extra packages need to be installed to enable full functionality of the router. You can compile them yourself by downloading the openWRT kamikaze source and putting M next to programs you want in the configuration(important ones listed below) - you can now find the ipkgs in a rar file here - kindly hosted by markc.

1. Install the important ipkgs - that is, bridge, dnsmasq, iptables, the updated kernel with wifi drivers, kernel module brcm-wl.
2. edit dnsmasq.cont as required (you need to set the fields with @@ parameters in them)


I edit /etc/config/network bridge eth0.0 10.1.1.1
vi /etc/dnsmasq.conf

# filter what we send upstream
domain-needed
bogus-priv
filterwin2k
localise-queries

# allow /etc/hosts and dhcp lookups via *.lan
local=/lan/
domain=lan
expand-hosts
resolv-file=/tmp/resolv.conf.auto

@ifdef dhcp_enable
dhcp-range=eth0.0,10.1.1.2,10.1.1.254,255.255.255.0,45h
dhcp-authoritative
dhcp-leasefile=/tmp/dhcp.leases
@endif
@ifdef wan_ifname
except-interface=@@wan_interface@@
@endif

# use /etc/ethers for static hosts; same format as --dhcp-host
# <hwaddr> <ipaddr>
read-ethers

# default gateway and dns for LAN ports
dhcp-option=eth0.0,3,10.1.1.1,10.1.1.2
dhcp-option=eth0.0,6,10.1.1.1,10.1.1.2



eth0.0<> bridge (br-lan)

root#:dnsmasq

dnsmasq: bad option at line 13 of /etc/dnsmasq.conf
dnsmasq: bad option at line 17 of /etc/dnsmasq.conf
dnsmasq: bad option at line 18 of /etc/dnsmasq.conf
dnsmasq: bad option at line 20 of /etc/dnsmasq.conf
dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket: Address already in use

even reboot takes no effect

try to chage your eth0.0 to br-lan that on your config

try to chage your eth0.0 to br-lan that on your config

I change to br-lan.Not work.

The eth0.0 references shouldn't go in the IP address sections.

It should be like this:

dhcp-range=10.1.1.2,10.1.1.254,255.255.255.0,45h

To specify one interface to run dnsmasq on (ie br-lan) remove the line

except-interface=@@wan_interface@@

and put in

interface=br-lan

I got as far as step 16. I use ubuntu as my main OS so I used the command:

scp root2hdd.sh root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/root2hdd.sh

This command transfers the file immediatly and I can go to the router and chmod the file to add execute. ls -al command verifies I have execute rights.

However,

the command

/tmp/root2hdd.sh

gives

-ash: /tmp/root2hdd.sh: not found

anyone know what may be the issue. Is there an alternative to the shell script?

Thanks,

Owen

You probably need to convert the root2hdd.sh script to unix-style..

Anyway, I have 2 issues:

1. For some reason, the router still boots from it's own ROM instead om the hdd, after a cold-start (power removed and reconnected). If I issue the reboot command, the router will boot from the hdd

2. I'm having big problems changing the IP address. I want to set the ip to 192.1680.0.100. I changed ip_address from nvram (and commited) and changed /etc/config/network. Now I reboot (poweroff required I believe) and the router comes up at the right IP. However, due issue 1, I have to reboot. And after this, I can no longer connect to the router (possibly the /etc/config/network on the hdd is a different one than the one I changed?)
