ParMan Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 i found an old Linksys Router model number WRK54G im not sure what the version is or if it even matters. i searched google about this and really could find the answer i was looking for. is it possible to put open/wrt on this router and then put jasager on it? if so what is the best way. if its possible i aslo want to put a battery pack on it. i know where it goes i just dont know were to find how much power it actually needs. thanks a ton.

Ingo Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Wouldn't best way to test if it works to actually try and test if it works? For the batteries just do exactly as you would do with the FON router, all nessecery information (Voltage/Amps) can be found at the bottom of your router (or from to power cord and ofc from the manual) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manufacturer/Model - Linksys WRK54G Supported - not possible Yet @ https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=4428 we find: Per http://hardware.mcse.ms/message14506.html When dealing with the Linksys WRK54G you need to refer to it as a WPC54G. This is the part number of the kit that the WRK54G came in. This IS in the RMA model list. This is also the case when downloading firmware for it. It so happens that the firmware is the same as the WRT54G even though some people say it is different, when you download the f/w for the WRK54G you get the file for the WRT54G. So we already know it's a Marvell sub-produced chipset per that thread...Perhaps the MX Flash memory is via Co-Branding? I do not know much else. Google the hell out of it. If you are not using it, you may as well brick it. Linksys models have functional reset buttons under both Kamikaze and White Russian... So this lands us with a firm maybe. I would treat it like a WRT54G and see what happens. ;) Worry about the battery pack till after you see if the rest will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acetolyne Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 This wont do the same thing as the Fonera router because the fonera router basically has 2 seperate network cards in it the linksys has only one the functionality of the program is designed around the fonera router for a reason. If you get a fon router and set jasager up you will fully understand the difference and why the fonera router must be used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digininja Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Simple answer, no, it won't work. You need a device with an Atheros wireless card in it and the Linksys devices don't have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Karrde Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 You need a device with an Atheros wireless card in it and the Linksys devices don't have it. Has anyone had success with any other Fon-like (compact, easy to disassemble) Atheros based routers? I'm having problems getting my hands on a Fon and want to explore other options.

digininja Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Works fine on Ubiquiti Bullets and Picostations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxuber Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Does the installation differ with the Picostations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I haven't tried with the firmware release but with the individual packages it was just the same but using the pico firmware from OpenWRT rather then the normal one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGtoe Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Ubiquity Picostation2 Which version of OpenWRT to load? Version 7.09 with kernel_2.6.21.5-atheros-1_mips.ipk so kmod-gpio_2.6.21.5-atheros-1_mips.ipk will work? Or can you use the (//downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8.09.2/atheros/openwrt-atheros-ubnt2-pico2-squashfs.bin)? If I load the new 8.09.2 do I use (//downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8.09.2/atheros/packages/karma_20060124-1.1_mips.ipk) Witch comes with the madwifi ? Or do I use (//www.digininja.org/files/jasager-madwifi_1.ipk)? Does anyone have a How To? I have searched the web over and see where people claim to have it working on Ubiquiti products, But no “How To” or brags of results.

digininja Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Its been a while since I updated anything but the firmware on my site should work fine on the Picostation. You'll get an older version of openwrt though. I don't know ath is in the karma patches on the openwrt site, someone may have packaged my stuff up or it may be someoneelses. Flat out at the moment so don't have any time to give much more of an answer, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have loaded OpenWRT , Backfire, Piranaha, Trac, Nightwing, Robin and Ubiquiti just fine, But can’t seem to get Jasager to load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGtoe Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Ok finally got Jasager on the Picostation2. This is what I did. ( May not work for all ) Programs I used Windows 7, WinSCP, tftpd32, Putty. 1.Took the Pico back to factory with latest firmware. (PicoStation2-v3.6.build4703.bin) 2.Installed OpenWRT. (kamikaze.openwrt.org/8.09.2/atheros/openwrt-atheros-ubnt2-pico2-squashfs.bin) Follow this How To for steps 1 & 2. (ubnt.com/wiki/Installing_OpenWRT_on_NanoStations/Bullets) 3.Telneted in (192.168.1.1) changed password, reboot 4. WinSCP to (192.168.1.1) Made a folder in (/tmp) copied over the ipk files needed. (Drag and Drop) IPKS I used ( May not need all ) zlib_1.2.3-5_mips ruby-core_1.8.6-p36-1.1_mips ruby-cgi_1.8.6-p36-1.1_mips ruby_1.8.6-p36-1.1_mips libruby_1.8.6-p36-1.1_mips karma_20060124-1.1_mips haserl_0.9.24-1_mips aircrack-ptw_1.0.0-1_mips aircrack-ng_r1396-1.2_mips libpthread_0.9.29-14.3_mips libpcap_0.9.8-1_mips libopenssl_0.9.8i-3.2_mips libncurses_5.6-1_mips kmod-madwifi_2.6.30.10+r3314-4_atheros 5. Putty ssh to (192.168.1.1) Username= ? Password = ? cd .. cd tmp cd whatever you called the new folder ls opkg install *.ipk ( had to do this a few times until all installed because of dependencies ) uci set wireless.wifi0.disabled=0 uci commit wireless && wifi reboot 6. WinSCP to (192.168.1.1) Copied over jasager-madwifi_1.tar.gz and jasager_2.1-1_mips.tar.gz (Make sure these go in /root)(You should see /etc , /bin , /tmp and so on ) Go to /www and renamed index.html to index2.html Made a folder in (/tmp) copied over webif_0.3-4838_mips.ipk 7. Putty ssh to (192.168.1.1) cd .. mv /www/index.html /www/webif.html cp -R /karma/www/* /www/ cd /tmp/whatever you called the new folder opkg install webif_0.3-4838_mips.ipk tar –xvzf jasager-madwifi_1.tar.gz tar-xvzf jasager_2.1-1_mips.tar.gz reboot 192.168.1.1 ( Jasager main page) 192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/webif/info.sh (X-Wrt main page ) 192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci (Luci main page) This is as far as I have got so far. When I press Karma on it stays on off and comes up on right side Of the screen saying Karma has been taken down. Have no idea why yet. Any Help?? Anyone ??
