Neptune354

I wanted to try openwrt in my router. The previous firmware was neptune354 v0.2
The problem was that i couldn't flash the openwrt firmware with tftp, like it is described in openwrt wiki.
I was using tftp during the first seconds of the wag354 boot but either i was hitting enter later thatn the time window tftp server accepts connections, or i was hitting entering earlier and nothing happened. The router would stay in a pause mode and the power led would blink. If did a reset the router would boot up with neptune354 normally.

So after days of searching the net, i came up with this page:
http://redsand.net/projects/linksys-tft ... s-tftp.php
It's a custom tftp client version for linksys routers, and you can give a password to the PUT line in tftp. So i did

and it worked like a charm. I pushed enter before the ethernet ports were on, almost immediately when i plugged in the power cord. I saw the verbose transfer in tftp log and then waited the router to write the firmware. After that it rebooted automatically.

I"m trying to build kamikaze from svn. I selected AR7 and AnnexA, and some other options in modules, flashed it to wag354g with tftp but i cannot ping to it or login with telnet. I"m guessing that i haven't included all modules needed for the devices in the wag to work. Does anyone know what modules does it need to get compiled?
I'm thinking of compiling all the available modules, but i don't know how big firmwares the router can accept!

Ok, i managed to succesfully compile and boot openwrt. I downloaded the latest svn kamikaze code and i had to patch in order to get the ethernet switch to work. As there was no patch available and the changes are commenting out a few lines and inserting one new, i did it by hand. Here's what i changed: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/3923
Then i ran make menuconfig, selected AR7 and these modules:


It boots up fine, and setting up the adsl connection works (pppoa or pppoe) works like a charm.
Leds don't work as expected, and i haven't tried wifi. Maybe i'm missing a module. But since i have access to the router and i'm online i can to pretty much anything now. If anyone is interested, let me know.

That patch is soo great

I was trying to get ethernet working with AR7 but without sucess. I will try it and put the latest svn on my wag354g v1. I don't have serial and after upgrade it was impossible to work with my router (but via tftp restored original firmware)
