Dovendo ricondizionare ( :-P ) una fonera per un amico ho deciso di provare questo famigerato tool "AP51 Easy Flash" che automatizza completamente la procedura (rootfs, kernel):

rpl@ubik:~/Works/fon2200$ sudo ./ap51-flash-fonera-1.0-38 eth0 \
 openwrt-atheros-2.6-root.jffs2-64k openwrt-atheros-2.6-vmlinux.lzma
Reading rootfs file openwrt-atheros-2.6-root.jffs2-64k with 1835008 bytes...
Reading kernel file openwrt-atheros-2.6-vmlinux.lzma with 786432 bytes...
rootfs(0x006e0000) + kernel(0x000c0000) + nvram(0x00000000) sums up to 0x007a0000 bytes
Non arp received. Make sure, the device is connected directly!

Miiiii che noia fa praticamente tutto lui :-(

Vi toglie tutta l'emozione e il divertimento... come vedere un film conoscendone già il finale :-(((

tra l'altro la seconda revisione della fonera (FON2200) ha già redboot attivo e quindi non è nemmeno necessario utilizzare hack per aprire ssh, cambiare kernel etc. etc. :-'(

Se è la vostra "prima volta" vi consiglio caldamente la procedura manuale (http://wiki.ninux.org/LaFoneraDallaScatolaAOpenWrt), molto più divertente :-D

beh... cosa vedo li sulla porta 80? webif installato di default... diamogli un occhiata, mai provato prima...

Miiii... funziona bene ;-)
al secondo menù ho già beccato una pagina non funzionante?

aggiorniamo? aggiorniamo!
magari prima dovremmo correggere i repository?!?!??!
st'immagine fa proprio... beh il "bello" degli snapshot è l'emozione ;-)

#src snapshots http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/atheros-2.6/packages
src snapshots src snapshots http://ipkg.k1k2.de/packages/
src packages http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/packages/mips
dest root /
dest ram /tmp

ORA aggiorniamo:

root@OpenWrt:/etc# ipkg update

ipkg: fork failed: Cannot allocate memory

scusa scusa... faccio fuori qualcosa?... httpd?

root@OpenWrt:/etc# /etc/init.d/httpd stop
Terminated 

insisti insisti che alla fine ce la farà...

root@OpenWrt:/etc# ipkg upgrade
....
root@OpenWrt:/etc# ipkg upgrade
....
root@OpenWrt:/etc# ipkg upgrade webif

ohhh.... facciamo ripartire httpd:

root@OpenWrt:/etc# /etc/init.d/httpd start
/etc/rc.common: eval: line 1: uci_set_default: not found

ti piacerebbe!!!
googla di qua e googla di la mi sa che il nuovo webif fa uso di funzionalità inserite nei nuovi uci e base-files (https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/10086)...

Aggiorniamo?.... beh...

root@OpenWrt:~# ipkg upgrade uci
Installing uci (0.3.0-1) to root...

Downloading http://downloads.x-wrt.org/xwrt/kamikaze/snapshots/atheros-2.6/packages/./libuci_0.3.0-1_mips.ipk
Configuring libuci
Done.
Collected errors:
Package uci wants to install file /lib/config/uci.sh
       But that file is already provided by package base-files-atheros-2.6

prego prego sovrascrivi:

root@OpenWrt:~# ipkg upgrade uci -force-overwrite 
Installing uci (0.3.0-1) to root...
Downloading http://downloads.x-wrt.org/xwrt/kamikaze/snapshots/atheros-2.6/packages/./uci_0.3.0-1_mips.ipk
Configuring uci
Done.
root@OpenWrt:~#

e ora il passo delicato (della serie "attento a cosa sovrascrivi e fare un diff non fa mai male"):

root@OpenWrt:~# ipkg install base-files-atheros -force-overwrite
....
   Configuration file '/etc/passwd'
   ==> File on system created by you or by a script.
   ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
      What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
       Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
       N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
         D     : show the differences between the versions (if diff is installed)
    The default action is to keep your current version.
   *** passwd (Y/I/N/O/D) [default=N] ?n

ed ora?

root@OpenWrt:~# /etc/init.d/httpd start
root@OpenWrt:~# 

ohhhh... riproviamo:
