    Fon/Fon+ Newbie Guide to Installlation of Jasager 1.0 Firmware

    in WiFi Pineapples Mark I, II, III

    Posted

    mh ok to make it short:

    as you tried flashing with serial cable only, it seemd like some crc error or something happend as the image is corrupted. thats why you got the error.

    so, if i were you i would do the tfptboot flashing AGAIN.

    sounds funny, but i had similar problems myself upon "first flash"

    so try to flash it again if the jasager image from digininjas website.

    and see wheter you got the bridge then!

    and to your previous comment: I'm always glad wheter I can help out ^_^.

    We get this thingy up in running, I'm sure! ^_^

    Good thing!

    Seems to be like you're trying to open on an Serial Connection that doesn't exist.

    Putty is an good choice, so plug in your Serial Usb Adapter, and check in the Hardware Manager which "Com Port" your Usb Cable is... OR download TeraTerm Pro: http://www.heise.de/software/download/teraterm_pro/51776 and just start it - in the first menu it will ask you wheter it shall open an TCP/IP Connection or an Serial one. Choose Serial. And it will show which Serial Adaptors are installed. Choose your Cable and press ok. The rest of the settings should be ok as default should already be what its set too. If it doesn't show you any serial connection you seem to have not successfully installed the usb/serial cable.

    And I had the problem with fon 2100 myself that both of ap51 and fonflash did NOT respond and gave the exact output you delivered. turned out that some variables in redboot were wrong - so I can encourage you here, you very well be thats the same case with yours! ^_^

    You could do use your Wlan Router as kinda "Bridge".

    You should have your Wlan Router DHCP turned on, plug the Lan Cable from your PC to the Wan Port, set your PC to ICS and dhcp and Supply the correct Adress to your Router (or set your Routers Wan Port to static adress, 192.168.1.2, the gateway to 192.168.1.1 and the dns to some you find on the net which should work).

    that would work. but you just need to fiddle out the settings yourself.

    ICS not assigning IP to clients

    Well I think you got that wrong.

    The Dhcp for your Wireless Clients is ON the Jasager.

    He gives dhcp Adresses from its dhcp Pool to the Wireless Clients that connects to him...

    ICS would only give dhcp to the Jasagers Ethernet Port... If i recall right..

    (But never mind, that never really worked for me, so I set the port of the Jasager fixed with the right settings for my setup...)

    ICS nic

    There is no restriction our special thing an wireless card must have to be used with ICS.

    Only thing it needs are Windows Drivers ;-)....

    But to do ICS, you need to wire up your Laptop with Ethernet Cable to the Jasager.

    Then you can connect to the Internet with your Wireless Card, UMTS Modem or just Tether the Signal from your Mobile Phone.

    So I ask myself what you need the Second Wireless Card for?

    It will be more the Case that you need and Second Ethernetcard as you want to Plug in to your Local Lan / Internet via Ethernet?

    Webif using Jasager Firmware

    in WiFi Pineapples Mark I, II, III

    Posted

    no - these uci are for something else.

    this is the code you need to look up...

    its also entitled "FIXING WEBIF"...

    Please Read, Think, Post.

    3.) Fixing Webif

    You got two Webinterfaces on the Jasager.

    First the Karma/Jasager one at 192.168.1.1:1471,

    and Second the Webif/X-Wrt on 192.168.1.1.

    In Webif, you can change things like IP Adresses and watch a bunch of data.

    Easy configuration for your Fon+ if you're not so used to the CLI in Linux.

    Now that you have changed the root password and therefor have access to ssh,

    you can use putty to connect to 192.168.1.1

    a) Opkg

    echo "src X-Wrt http://downloads.x-wrt.org/xwrt/kamikaze/8.../packages" >> /etc/opkg.conf

    opkg update

    opkg remove -recursive luci-*

    opkg update

    opkg install webif

    reboot

    Probles adding SSID

    Ye, the iwpriv command for adding ssid is broken, there is another open thread discussing it. I've spent some long nights trying to fix it but not got anywhere. The problem is the debug cycle, build on pc, transfer and install file, reboot fon then test. Repeat for each change. It takes forever.

    Uh sounds really nasty.

    I hope you'll crack the problem-nut soon!

    (by the way thats only an fon+ problem i think?)

    Wish you the best of luck and thanks for taking your time!

    Well, *hit happens, but its not dead *yet*.

    I'm a little wondering that you could change fconfig without an serial cable?! O.o''...

    How did you manage to do that?

    Yeah the 2201 is the Fon+.

    There is an important thing to mention on Fon+:

    Wan Port is on dhcp there, so if you plug in Network there, Jasager will try to supply you with an IP.

    Lan Port is set fixed on 192.168.1.1. So If everything worked and got well, you can plug in there with an fixed IP of, lets say, 192.168.1.2 / 24 (255.255.255.0) and open up telnet. (Telnet first, as SSH is disabled as said on Step.. 2 or so...)

    Yeah build yourself an serial cable, it shall come in handy on so damn many occassions. I did build my first serial cable for an WGT634U about 4 Years ago and so, any funny thing was, that the Pin Alligement was exact the same with the Fon+, so I could "recyle" it for the moment beeing as my Fon+ had not yet an built in Serial...

    Just write back as soon as you got the serial cable and can access that little thingy.

    Good Luck,

    That is nothing to do with Jasager and it took me ages to find out what it really was.

    When XP is trying to find a network to connect to it goes through its list a few times then gives up and shuts down, but it doesn't really shut down it continues to probe for an ESSID with the name taken from a random bit of memory. Jasager will accept probes for anything so accepts it and adds it to its list.

    That was fun debugging when I did it.

    Hm Wow O.o

    Ok!!!

    But the problem is, as I'm using also an Fon 2201, I got these problems as well:

    root@OpenWrt:~# iwpriv ath0 addkarmassid 'trut'

    Interface doesn't accept private ioctl...

    addkarmassid (8C00): Invalid argument

    root@OpenWrt:~# iwpriv ath0 addkarmassid "trut"

    Interface doesn't accept private ioctl...

    addkarmassid (8C00): Invalid argument

    root@OpenWrt:~# iwpriv ath0 addkarmassid trut

    Interface doesn't accept private ioctl...

    addkarmassid (8C00): Invalid argument

    ( I copied that log from the first post, but the error it gives me is the same... )

    Any solution for that?

    3G USB Dongle support

    in WiFi Pineapples Mark I, II, III

    Posted

    I have done extensive research into this and it seems there are very limited hardware options when it comes to getting an Atheros based router that has USB and runs OpenWRT. It's a shame the Fon 2.0g isn't still in production, it was a great router.

    I think the best solution is actually to build your own based on a USB enabled router board with m-pci slot and an atheros radio. Problem is they are very expensive. An off the shelf solution would be much better.

    Well sorry Darren, don't want to put you down on that, but there IS an solution:

    Try to get an old Netgear WGT634U.

    I got one myself years ago, and they aren't produced anymore.

    But they are really nice babys:

    200 Mhz MIPS, 8 MB Flash, 32 MB(!) RAM, Atheros Wlan Card on miniPCI Slot (swapable) and and USB2.0 Connector.

    ( http://nuwiki.openwrt.org/oldwiki/OpenWrtD...Netgear/WGT634U )

    They do rock.

    Was my first OpenWRT Box, and I loved it. Had some phpBB 3.0 Alpha Forum running on it, with lighttpd with php Modul and an sqlite DB. Took about sweet 6 Seconds per Page Load, but it worked ;-). (sorry, couldn't help myself in terms of geek-iness XD).

    They could be quite interessting for little projects like this - but are sadly out of production since.. 2006? 2007? dunno... Ah and by the way: They got 1 Wan Port and 4 Lan Ports. And all are vlan taggable... so... quite interessting Machine for Sniffing. The UBER Interceptor if you want ;-).

    Hi chasebadkids!

    Glad you like it.

    I did download Digininjas Firmware Package again just to be sure - and my Filenames are correct.

    I don't know where you get the openwrt-atheros-2.6-vmlinux.lzma and openwrt-atheros-2.6-root.squashfs from, but thats not the name thats used in the official package. So I would encourage you to download his Jasasger 1.0 Firmware Package from his website again and try it.

    As for the boot settings, yeah sorry I did not mention it, but you should NOT set anything else.

    It should look that way:

    RedBoot> fconfig
Run script at boot: true
Boot script:
Enter script, terminate with empty line
>> fis load -l vmlinux.bin.17
>> exec
>>
Boot script timeout (1000ms resolution): 2
Use BOOTP for network configuration: false
Gateway IP address:
Local IP address: 192.168.1.1
Local IP address mask: 255.255.255.0
Default server IP address: 192.168.1.254
Console baud rate: 9600
GDB connection port: 9000
Force console for special debug messages: false
Network debug at boot time: false
Update RedBoot non-volatile configuration - continue (y/n)? y
... Erase from 0xa87e0000-0xa87f0000: .
... Program from 0x80ff0000-0x81000000 at 0xa87e0000: .
RedBoot>

    So do NOT enter some Gateway. By the way - if you're Gateway at home is 192.168.1.1 - and you plugin the Jasager to your net, that will give some bang - as it also uses 192.168.1.1 - so just plug it in straight to your pc and test it - then it shall respond. And another thing - if you entry there 192.168.1.1 as gateway in redboot, and the jasager is using 192.168.1.1 as its own ip adress - maybe could cause some other problems, so just let it be, reflash your fonera with the orginal firmware package, correct the startup script and rest to the printout above and plug it straight into your pc (if you got an fon+, plug in to lan as it got 192.168.1.1) - and if you ever got problems - your serial cable will be your personal jesus/hero/whatever ;-).

    good luck and thanks for the comment! ^^
