Firmware

I've built a flash image which can boot from USB, it's downloadable here. You can use e.g. a serial terminal to upload it. A root filesystem to copy to an USB-storage device is retrievable here, instructions on how to use it are inside the archive.

Hi, any idea where could I get this router? Any other current router that could be transformed?

I had to lower the 1 kOhm resistor connecting the Oscillator to the ADM processor to make it work: Currently using 270 Ohms without problems.

This hack is for sweex lb000021 (edimax br-6104k rev. B), is it good for edimax br-6104k rev. A too?

thanks for this nice device. howto build my own usb-enabled kernel? ipv6 (tunnel) support is on my nice2have list. and second: I'd like to use the nic-ports in non switching mode. btctl only adds adm0 and adm1 to br0. adm2,adm3,adm4 are missing (but working).

A few problems left after my previos problem , mentioned above: 1. any lan port connected to another machine gives a lighning led for status on the sweex, so i presume the hardware still works. but the led on the usb stick doesn't lightup? 2. is there any way of connecting to the sweex without telnet? 3. is it possible to connect a computer to a router through the sweex? 4. My usb stick got a lost+found file, but that is still present after putting the root fs files onto the stick.

You can use the 2nd USB port with a 2nd USB stick or a USB hard disk - plug it into the USB port next to the ethernet ports midge# mount /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/usb http://www.sunspot.co.uk/Projects/sweexproject.htm

Does the 2nd usb port work or does that need some kernel hacking? Also, can standard webcam drivers be compiled for the router or are they specialised?

See http://www.sunspot.co.uk/Projects/sweexproject.htm for some new features and a sort of "distro" I can play .WAV sounds from the power LED line now and Basic is great if you are not too proud.... as well as the usual - Linux + 19 input or output lines + i2c bus + 2 RS232 ports + FTP + Samba + Basic + PHP + USB Memory stick or hard drive

Bit of a newbie to this router but I flashed my firmware using flash_usbroot-1.0.bin which was provided by Elekor Electronics (http://www.elektor-electronics.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=27&art=52976&PN=On) but now it doesnt work. Cannot connect to the router at all with / without DHCP. Not made any mods to the router yet other than this. Is it because it's trying to talk to USB but as it's not installed yet it's hanging? Any ideas people?
