If you wanna try out one of the beta releases, the above Fonera DD-WRT beta firmware versions seem to be most recommended in the forums / have least buggy features. As of writing the latest Fonera DD-WRT version was 03/23.

Flashing of a LaFonera

To flash your Fonera with DD-WRT for the first time, follow the Initial Flashing guide.

To upgrade the DD-WRT firmware on your Fonera, follow the Upgrade Flashing guide.


Building DD-WRT for the LaFonera from Source

Downloading the sources via SVN

svn co svn://svn.dd-wrt.com/DD-WRT DD-WRT will download the complete source-files in a directory called DD-WRT.

Please note that this is a very large download, so be prepared that it might take a while.

Compiling

the makefile you need for this task is src/router/Makefile.ar531x which simply can be called by make -f Makefile.ar531x all the sources should be within the svn, but i was not able yet to check if everything is compileable. if a third party is able to test this i will give him advices if he has troubles. (the last time this worked good together with "Tornado")


Update: When trying to compile using that makefile, the following is returned,

total@C-Dog:~/DD-WRT$ make -f Makefile.ar531x

make: Makefile.ar531x: No such file or directory

make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.ar531x'. Stop.

Wishlist

  • Can someone explain how to configure FON chillispot with double SSID, DHCP on virtual SSID eth 0.1, private/public isolation and iptable rules just like LaFonera itself?
  • Can someone compile a version with DD-WRTs VoIP support SIP Express Router SER?
    • (Kilhak| Remember that the Fonera has only 138MHz and 16MBRAM!)
  • Enable SIP Express Router or Milkfish.org support (OpenWrt edition), so each LaFonera can switch SIP phone calls.
    • (Kilhak| Remember that the Fonera has only 138MHz and 16MBRAM!)
  • Changelog for each build
