Cant Get Into Fon After Patching Kernel

[Bodman]

Hi,

I had a FON which I sucessfully patched and installed Jasager1.2 I then tried to upgrade it to 2.1 but I have ran into some problems.

after I patch the Kernel with

mtd -e vmlinux.bin.l7 write openwrt-ar531x-2.4-vmlinux-CAMICIA.lzma vmlinux.bin.l7

reboot

once it reboots I get a 169.x.x.x address and I cannot get back into it and so cannot install any apps (Jasager etc)

I have tried going through the tutorial several times. I have found that if I use Freifunk Ap51 EasyFlash GUI utility and select external ROOTFS and KERNEL then I get a 192.168.1.X address and I can telnet then SSH back into the router.

But once I start to patch the Kernel im back to 169.x.x.x and cannot access it again. I have tried setting a fixed IP on the PC of 192.168.1.150 but still the same error.

I can get to to the stage where I have Webif installed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as im going around the bend :)

Just use the Jasager firmware on Digininja's site.

Thanks for the reply Psychosis

I downloaded the firmware from Digininjas site (http://www.digininja.org/files/jasager_firmware_1.0.tar.bz2). I extracted the 2 files using 7 ZIP then flashed them using ap51-flash-fonera-gui-1.0-38 but unfortunatly I still get the ip of 169.x.x.x If I use the files openwrt-atheros-2.6-root.squashfs and openwrt-atheros-2.6-vmlinux.lzma from the old 1.2 Package then the router assigns 192.168.1.1 and I can telnet etc.

Any ideas

Just use his firmware and leave it at that. You don't need to do anything more, save for editing dnsmasq configuration files.

You need to assign your Ethernet interface a static IP address, other than 192.168.1.1 which is what the Fon is. The Fon isn't assigning DHCP from eth0.

Check my tutorial, should work almost the same for the FON.

Thanks to both of you. my mistake was I didnt realise that it wouldnt DHCP on the ethernet port.

Thanks again - i was pulling my hair out :)
