Flashing DD-WRT on La Fonera

Flashing a stock La Fonera

Follow the guide about La Fonera Flashing

Upgrading from older DD-WRT build

(this is for versions older than 2006 - 0117, later versions support flashing through the web interface)

Either follow the standard flash routine for flashing via Redboot, or use SSH, telnet or serial console to the Fonera and issue the commands below. (This might also work if you do it under the Commands section on the webinterface)

cd /tmp
wget <newest version of root.fs>
wget <newest version of vmlinux.bin.l7>
mtd write vmlinux.bin.l7 vmlinux.bin.l7
mtd write root.fs rootfs
reboot

Building DD-WRT for the La Fonera 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")

  • X-Link Kai
  • Sniffer (as Kismet) or Scanner (as Wi-viz) on Fonera Client Mode Kismet HTML Client Beta or Wi-viz Wiki Page
  • Original or compatible client Fon to update active Fonera on maps Fon Maps
  • Enable SIP Express Router or Milkfish.org support (OpenWrt edition), so each Fonera can switch SIP phone calls.
  • Enable the creation of FAKE Virtual Interfaces to confuse lamer near house ;)
  • Packages-Tab in the Web-Interface
  • FTP/SMB(/HTTP)-Tab in the Web-Interface
