OpenWRT 8.09 and X-Wrt Installation on PC Engines Wrap
Howto get OpenWRT v8.09 r14511 installed and running on a x86 Wrap with an Atheros AR5006X wireless radio
Write the image to a 64MByte compact flash card, and boot. Use minicom as a console on the serial port at 38400,8,n,1.
Using the console, reconfigure the network settings from their defaults so that the 'lan' interface is operational in the local environment:
# Copyright (C) 2006 OpenWrt.org
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 type bridge
option proto static
option ipaddr 192.168.0.126
option netmask 255.255.255.0
option gateway 192.168.0.254
option dns 192.168.0.18
Apply the changes to the lan network configuration:
# ifup lan
Set the root password using the console:
# passwd Changing password for root New password: Retype password: Password for root changed by root
Using the LuCI web configuration to customise
Login as root, using the password set above
Software packages added:
- kmod-i2c-scx200
- kmod-leds-wrap
- kmod-ath5k
- hostapd
- iw
- kmod-ieee80211
SSH
Upload SSH public key into the router. This is just one long line copied from ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub(or from putty etc)
Disable password based authentication:
Wireless
Configure the wireless interface for WPA2 with a PSK.
VERY IMPORTANT: Using the ath5k driver failed to achieve a positive outcome (a lot of wasted time). The driver is close to being fully functional, but the interface didn't come up automatically. This setup uses the madwifi kernel module. Note that the type for wadwifi in the configuration file is 'atheros', whereas the type for ath5k is 'mac80211'.
config 'wifi-device' 'wifi0'
option 'type' 'atheros'
option 'disabled' '0'
option 'diversity' '1'
option 'channel' '8'
option 'hwmode' '11g'
config 'wifi-iface'
option 'device' 'wifi0'
option 'network' 'lan'
option 'mode' 'ap'
option 'ssid' 'Newnham'
option 'encryption' 'psk2'
option 'key' 'dnsdy83rw78erjhsdfnjdfsnHJHJHdh383838...a long secret.. kgsdjhfs8'
LEDS
With the kmod-leds-wrap package installed, it is possible to configure the LEDs on the Wrap. e.g.
