Eviltechie Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I am thinking about trying to make my own deadly pineapple, but I want to know my chances of getting this to work right. Any comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFG Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Yes, with tinkering but I have a Fon+ and a Fon v2 so it took a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthrounit Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 i have a fon and fon 2.0 and so far ive been working on the fon only for now but i guess the cpu is different then the one darren has wish a mips processor so i have had trouble with webif installing correctly but fon 2 will follow it shortly.

dimitar Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Worked fine the first time. If you are primarily a Linux person you can check out my blog about how to set up the rerouting of the traffic from the fon router to Internet, so you can sniff everything in the middle: http://dimitar.me/?p=277 The only problem I have is that after the wireless clients connect to the fon router it works fine for 5-10 minutes, but then suddenly drops the wireless clients without any apparent reasons. I have to investigate further why this is... If anyone else has experienced this, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 It didn't quite work first time but I got there in the end :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADM1NX Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 It took many tries to get it to work, but after installing an SD card, i was able to use it as swap space to solve the "out of memory" problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigglebilly Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 hacking the fon is very easy. If you have a linux background at all then you should not run into any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infolookup Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Installing an SD card that sounds like fun, I got it to work after some tinkering, I just haven't had the time to upgrade to the new version I am still on version 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Sorrow Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 It took many tries to get it to work, but after installing an SD card, i was able to use it as swap space to solve the "out of memory" problem. I had a similar problem, after a bit of googling I found it was a bug. The messy fix for it is to wipe the history of what packages are installed and then use -nodeps flag with ipkg for installing webif. rm /usr/lib/ipkg/status ipkg install -nodeps webif_0.3-10_mips.ipk You'll need to use the -nodeps for some other packages too, there is probably a better way to fix it . I'm not really a linux person. Buts it quick and works , for me anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psydT0ne Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 worked fine for me...now what to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opensourceservers Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I got it working first time out but i was reluctant to take it on...I promptly bricked out my first attempt and the second build was a pita too but i got it all set save final dnsmasq. I am interested in more wireless architecture. the bullets from ubiquiti look hot. lots happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlapa Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 when i initially installed jasager i accidentally skipped step 13 (second part "uci set wireless.wifi0.disabled=0" "uci commit wireless && wifi") than i couldn't understand Why the Fc*K it didn't work. So i went back to step 9 and completely bricked my fon2100 at step 10 With help from Robin Wood and some other guys from dd-wrt forums i managed to unbrick it. It took me like 2 weeks. its actually good to brick your fonera, that way you get to learn about it a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'd love to know what I do differently because I've never ran a uci command by hand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlapa Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'd love to know what I do differently because I've never ran a uci command by hand! i guess you don't have to use this command but than you'll have to choose the interface. In my case i got paranoid because the wlan light didn't work, therefore i assumed that i did something wrong. :-) I did it at 4 in the morning, what do u expect. by the way i think Darren should add this line to his tutorial "echo proc_gpio > /etc/modules.d/80-gpio" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'm going to be releasing a new version which is a complete firmware in itself soon so the tutorials will become obsolete unless you want a fully customized install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labx Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I'm going to be releasing a new version which is a complete firmware in itself soon so the tutorials will become obsolete unless you want a fully customized install. Would you happen to have any idea when you might be getting that complete and available. Perhaps I shall wait for that :). Thanks for all your great work!

digininja Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 If I can find space on my desk for an extra laptop and fon then I'll try to sort it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vendox Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I'd never touched one of these before, but I've got moderate *nix experience, and it went very smoothly. The only hitch I ran into was I installed DD-WRT before realizing that I was supposed to use OpenWRT (for Jasager). So I had to re-flash my firmware from DD-WRT to OpenWRT, and then carry on from there. Worked fine, and I learned to flash from the command line as well as with the auto-tool (ap51). vendox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 please try to find space asap :-) i cant wait to get my hands on the new version !!!!!! Have a look in http://hak5.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=12558 , I put a beta version out the other day. Just a firmware version of the current release but with a few bug fixes and a couple of optimisations. I'm looking for a way to build auto-installed packages into the firmware, once I get that sorted then I'll release it as a full version.
