Gargoyle on USR9106
Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2011 1:35 pm
last days i was struggling with openwrt to make my usr9108 (brcm63xx) a wireless bridge client for my home network, but couldn't make the wifi part work, no way how hard i tried, i couldn't ping the router through wireless on wds.
i was quite disappointed, but as far as i saw gargoyle supported client bridge for chips other than brcm47xx i HAD to try
there is no brcm63xx target, but i first tried a make custom with a 63xx target and brcm wireless but had some difficulties with the packages to be installed, so tried the 'easy' way, copying the brcm47xx target folder to a brcm63xx target folder, changing in the config file the 47xx to 63xx (and the 47xx_b43 to 63xx_broadcom) and, know what? now i have a working gargoyled usr9108 with working wireless bridge!!!
i'd suggest the developers, if possible, to add the 'standard' brcm63xx target, as right now i (and anyone wanting to try this way) will need to compile every package by hand, as of course there is no package folder for 63xx in the repositories
anyway, all i wanted to say is a BIG THANKS!!!
