| 13:49.28 | knopf | Also, what is the 16mb image for? |

| 14:48.02 | ShadowJK | what did you do? |
| 14:51.10 | knopf_ | ShadowJK: uploaded openwrt-nslu2-squashfs.bin, waited 15min. rebooted. lights are blinking at the beginning. then all goes dark except the Ethernet light. |
| 14:51.23 | knopf_ | ShadowJK: I got the binary openwrt from here: http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8.09_RC1/ixp4xx/ |
| 14:53.17 | ShadowJK | that doesn't necessarily mean it's bricked.. |
| 14:53.59 | ShadowJK | openwrt might switch off the leds by default or doesn't know how to use them |
| 14:54.07 | ShadowJK | except for the ethernet light which I think is not controllable |
| 14:54.10 | knopf_ | ShadowJK: how do I know whether it's on the upgrade mode? |
| 14:54.29 | knopf_ | ShadowJK: hm. maybe. |
| 14:54.31 | ShadowJK | upgrade mode isn't executed by the OS, so you should still get the blinking there |
| 14:55.07 | ShadowJK | I don't know what openwrt does, if it comes up with some default IP or if it tries to dhcp |
| 14:55.56 | ShadowJK | I doubt it would try to get the IP you used in previous installs |
| 14:56.23 | knopf_ | hm. yes. redboot works |
| 14:56.36 | knopf_ | when I press reset for 10 seconds, then I get a blinking read/status light |
| 14:56.50 | knopf_ | that gives me some hope |
| 14:57.39 | ShadowJK | I suspect you're still at the point where you can assume openwrt is starting fine, and now you just have to find the IP |
| 14:59.29 | ShadowJK | "After installation, OpenWrt will take a few minutes to initialize the JFFS2 partition. It took about five minutes for me. You should wait at least ten minutes before rebooting. It will have an IP address of 192.168.1.77 to which you need to telnet to get access for the first time." |
| 15:00.00 | ShadowJK | I guess "after installation" means first boot (dark lights) |
| 15:00.25 | ShadowJK | oh further down the page it says dhcp is enabled by default :) |

| 15:07.09 | knopf | yay. I see a DHCP request from an unknown MAC address |
| 15:07.17 | knopf | That means it boots |
| 15:10.35 | ShadowJK | I hope you have a router that's handing out LAN IPs :-) |

| 15:20.43 | knopf_ | ShadowJK: hm. interesting thing is: the device gets address 10.0.0.88 assigned, but I cannot access it via telnet |
| 15:24.54 | ShadowJK | what happens? |
| 15:27.13 | knopf_ | no clue: (1) I see the dhcp request from it's MAC address, (2) I see on the DHCP page that the server assigned an IP address to the device, (3) I try to connect to that IP -> nothing |
| 15:27.42 | knopf_ | however, there's the following interesting thing: when I connect via telnet, first there's nothing. |
| 15:27.57 | knopf_ | when I connect again, then it says host is down, unable to connect to remote host |
| 15:28.02 | knopf_ | after some time it works again |
| 15:28.19 | ShadowJK | it's behaving like nothing is assigned to that IP |
| 15:28.45 | knopf_ | yes |
| 15:29.47 | knopf_ | but it get's the DHCP entry |
| 15:30.18 | knopf_ | With the DHCP protocol, does the system have to acknowledge the assigned IP? |

| 15:42.52 | knopf | dances happily. |
| 15:42.56 | knopf | found it. it works. |
| 15:44.49 | natesbox | nice what was the problem? |
| 15:46.42 | knopf | several: (a) the description on the web site is really bad, maybe I'll update it, (b) it defaults to 192.168.1.1 on the lan, not 192.168.1.77, (c) 192.168.1.1 caused problems with my router, (d) it didn't accept the DHCP responses from my router, (e) it doesn't use the LEDS properly right from the start, it should at least use some |
| 15:47.38 | knopf | hm. but now the application ipkg is missing |
| 15:48.16 | natesbox | what distro? openwrt? |
| 15:48.25 | knopf | yes |
| 15:48.28 | natesbox | I think I remember that happenign to me |
| 15:48.50 | knopf | hm. maybe I should have simply installed debian on it |
| 15:49.03 | knopf | natesbox: what did you do? |
| 15:49.29 | natesbox | I'm trying to remember... I know I got it reinstalled let me think for a sec |
| 15:50.26 | ShadowJK | i dont think ipkg is installed by default in openwrt |
| 15:52.15 | natesbox | didnt they rename it to opkg or somethign like that |
| 15:52.56 | knopf | ah yes |
| 15:53.00 | knopf | I have that file |
| 15:53.44 | natesbox | :) |
| 15:54.16 | natesbox | now if I could just get beep working on my openwrt slug |
| 15:56.25 | natesbox | so stupid simple but im failing |
| 15:56.25 | knopf | hm. but it doesn't recognize my usb drives |
| 15:56.40 | knopf | there's no /dev/sda |
| 15:57.04 | knopf | not even a usb bus in /sys/bus/ |
| 15:57.32 | natesbox | I think you may need to install one of the kmod packages att add the functionality |
| 15:59.37 | knopf | hm. but which usb does it have. in 2.26, are usb devices still mounted via the scsi bridge? |
| 16:00.09 | ShadowJK | usb mass storage still talk in scsi so... |
| 16:00.49 | knopf | ok. got usb_storage to run |
| 16:01.15 | knopf | but still no usb |
| 16:01.19 | knopf | disk |
| 16:15.44 | knopf | natesbox: an interesting thing: I can see the drive with 'fdisk /dev/sda', but I can't mount it with 'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt' -> no such device |

| 23:16.37 | knopf_ | woa, my nslu2 is now slow with openwrt. It now has a throughput of 1MB/s on samba. with the official firmware this was much much higher |
| 23:16.47 | knopf_ | did anyone experience something similar? |
| 23:28.21 | rwhitby | knopf_: dunno, I don't normally run samba on openwrt. |
| 23:28.42 | rwhitby | my openwrt slugs is used as a bluetooth access point. |
| 23:29.10 | rwhitby | using openwrt on the nslu2 as a NAS device is probably not very well tested |
| 23:34.07 | knopf_ | rwhitby: hm. when I do a file transfer, the system load shoots up to 2.33 or higher |
| 23:34.24 | knopf_ | rwhitby: what is well tested on the nslu2 as a NAS? |
| 23:34.38 | knopf_ | rwhitby: I need the ssh tunneling functionality on there |
| 23:34.43 | knopf_ | rwhitby: and the NAS |
| 23:35.04 | rwhitby | most well tested is SlugOS, then Unslung, then Debian, then OpenWrt. |
| 23:35.15 | rwhitby | all can do NAS and ssh |
| 23:35.55 | rwhitby | actually, Unslung is probably better tested than even SlugOS, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who already knows Linux and expects normal Linux behaviour. |
| 23:36.46 | rwhitby | nslu2 is probably not the best candidate for your first foray into openwrt ... it's still an immature combination. |
| 23:37.04 | knopf_ | hm. not good, because I now have the whole setup running |
| 23:37.24 | rwhitby | oh, it's stable, but just not well documented. |
| 23:38.12 | rwhitby | openwrt will be the best solution for routing or QoS or anything else network related, but possibly not the most optimised solution for NAS |
| 23:38.31 | knopf_ | well, as it turns out it's quite quite slow |
| 23:38.33 | rwhitby | (simply due to the focus of the OpenWrt development effort) |
| 23:38.50 | rwhitby | It's not called a 'slug' for nothing ... |
| 23:39.03 | knopf_ | well, but the original firmware was slow |
| 23:39.09 | knopf_ | but 1MB per second is really really slow |
| 23:39.15 | rwhitby | agreed. |
| 23:39.15 | knopf_ | and that's when you have a single user |
| 23:39.47 | rwhitby | please record this on the Performance wiki page, so others don't need to go through the same installation process to find out. |
