hi

On my own builds gargoyle ssh splash screen shows wrong openwrt build number

Code: Select all

BusyBox v1.15.3 (2011-12-18 18:34:20 NZDT) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

root@Gargoyle:~#
The build number should show r29685

I don't know if this is an error or not

My guess is that you have done a previous build with a version that was based on OpenWrt r29342, and then didn't build with the FULL_BUILD=true flag.

You'll notice there are two scripts in the build directory: full-build.sh and rebuild.sh

If you run make without the FULL_BUILD=true flag, and you've previously done a build, it will only rebuild the packages and not the underlying version of OpenWrt. This speeds up testing small changes in the packages dramatically. However, to do a complete build from scratch you really need to run the make command with "FULL_BUILD=true" set:

Code: Select all

make FULL_BUILD=true
Or to build (for example) just the ar71xx architecture:

Code: Select all

make FULL_BUILD=true ar71xx

Thanks for your excellent answer

So my new builds probably don't have the new ath9k drivers installed :(
