InfoSecGeek Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Has anyone else managed to get this to work? It works fine for me but I'm getting worried I'm about to DOS a load of Fons. I'll post again soon... Initially, I lost communication with the router, but like taiyed14 I noticed there was a small window of opportunity upon rebooting the router. I used Freifunk EasyFlash and pointed it to the LAN port connected to the router... I rebooted and it successfully communicated with the router and flashed it. I will try everything again and post the results soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 That is redboot, it comes up for 2 seconds which is usually 4 pings when the device first boots. Unless you mess with fconfig from the redboot cli then you shouldn't be able to mess this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfoSecGeek Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 BTW... Still would like to say thanks, digininja, for all of your efforts... It's all much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfoSecGeek Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Well, I reinstalled everything but ran across the same problem. Going to try something else later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taiyed14 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I'm going to try and pin point after which package I lose communication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiyed14 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 i've done some digging and found when i run these commands I loose the ability to access the fon: root@OpenWrt:~# uci set wireless.wifi0.disabled=0 root@OpenWrt:~# uci commit wireless && wifi Any suggestions on how to get some more debugging info would be helpful.

digininja Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Why are you issuing those commands? I set things like this by modifying the config files and letting openwrt work out what to do with those settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiyed14 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I found those command while looking at the Fon+ jasager install guide. I will stop doing that and see how that goes. http://wiki.hak5.org/wiki/Fon%2B_Jasager_Install Update: I tried enabling Wifi through the web interface as well as though /etc/config/wireless with no luck. every time i would lose the connection the the fon.

digininja Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 You are connecting to the fon through the wired cable when you are doing this, not through the wifi aren't you? I can't see why changing the wireless settings would kill the wired network, unless it is something to do with bridging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'm hoping to get a firmware release of Jasager done soon, if you can wait then that may be the best thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdogherman Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Looking forward to it digininja. Let me know if you need any testing ran. BTW do you own a FON 2.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Yes, I have a Fon 2, why? Any donations of others greatfully accepted though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdogherman Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 do you know when the Fon 2 will be available for purchase? I wish I would have picked one up when they went on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taiyed14 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Yep I'm doing all of this through a wired connection. jdogherman have you got this to work at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdogherman Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 nope, whenever I try to bring ath0 up the router crashes and reboots :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taiyed14 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I also have this problem when i start ath0 from the web interface the WLAN light comes up then the Fon immediately reboots it's self. Are you using the updated mad-wifi drivers that digininja posted earlier in this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digininja Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Can one of you try grabbing the file again and installing it again. I've just rebuilt it again and diff says the files are different so I've put the newly built file up. This may be what was causing the problem.

jdogherman Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Well I tried the link you provided on page 1 of this topic but I get the same issue try to bring interface up and router reboot. Duplicated twice. Do you know how to make an export of the fs so maybe I can send it to you for review? Or maybe an export of currently deployed packages. Let me know what I can do.

taiyed14 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I flashed with 8.09 and installed the 'new' wifi driver (http://www.digininja.org/files/kmod-madwifi_2.6.26.5+r3314-atheros-2_mips.ipk) then enabled wifi thru /etc/config/wireless, rebooted and nothing could not connect. The fon is also not broadcasting any SSIDs but the wireless light is on. let me know if you need any other info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostlywind Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Mine still crashes whenever i try to turn on ath0 through the web interface and i have the latest madwifi drivers released by digininja. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfoSecGeek Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Well... I did get farther with the new package. Before, the router would simply become unresponsive... now, like the others, the router simply reboots when attempting to bring up ath0. Note: When connecting to Jasager, it now simply gives the option to create and configure ath0 (router reboots if attempted)... before this package, it would bring up ath0 automatically... though karma couldn't be brought up.
