Unable to opkg update or install packages - Interim fix

[Slacker]

After the RAID failure over at openwrt.org, package installs fail. In order to install packages, you can comment out the original src/gz that points to trunk and add the line below after replacing "YOUR ARCHITECTURE" with the appropriate info:

Code: Select all

src/gz attitude_adjustment http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09-beta/YOUR ARCHITECTURE/generic/packages

For example, my changes look like this:

Code: Select all

src/gz attitude_adjustment http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09-beta/ar71xx/generic/packages
#src/gz attitude_adjustment http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages

I've tested this on my 1043ND. (Installed transmission, hd-idle and nano)

I made the recommended changes a few days ago when I first upgraded my router to 1.5.7, but ran into a glitch today. I don't recall what I'd installed that day.
When I tried to install the kmod-usb2 package, I get an error that I need kernel version 3.3.8-1-67c7..., but when I run 'uname -r' it tells me that I have kernel version 3.3.8 .
I don't really want to install from source (but will if I have to), so where can I find the package for 3.3.8 (or where can I find the gargoyle brcm47xx package that uses 3.3.8-1?
Thank you.

I've read that you have to compile your own since the trunk went bye-bye, but there may be some workaround I'm not aware of.

Hopefully the new beta is out soon and we'll get another gargoyle release with it, solving the issue.

I just checked my ar7xxx install and kmod-usb2 is already installed, btw...

Well, the 1.5.8 beta has come out, and I still have the same problem.
The Status->Overview page reports that 1.5.8 is installed, but 'uname -r' still reports kernel 3.3.8, and gives a dependency error requiring the 3.3.8-1 kernel.

How do I change this via SSH or other way?
