Client mode
AND WPA2
The only downside is MPD won't fit in the onboard memory. I'll just use a flash drive for that though.

Please let us know the /etc/config/wireless and /etc/config/network necessary for WPA client mode with DHCP.
I just Backfire'd my WL520GU and want to create a media server (ala Pogoplug).

Would you also point me to the instructions to have my rootfs in my flash drive?

You can try to use a previous version of makefile into mpd folder.
Look for mpd 0.13 for mpc you can use the 0.17 without problems.
I've used this version for last wrtradio firmware

@jbemmel:
I have also a WL-600G and I'm trying to get usb-audio working with backfire10.03.1rc5 WITHOUT success. I can flash backfire with this file
http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ ... fs-cfe.bin and I have installed package kmod-usb2 and kmod-usb-audio (with all dependencies). but my soundcard
http://www.ebay.ch/itm/New-5-1-usb-audi ... 0765333936 is not detected (checked with lsusb). I also tried kmod-usb-ohci and kmod-usb-uhci, no success.
but I know this soundcard can work (with kamikaze and kmod-usb-uhci-iv on an other router (wl-500w))
does your wl-600g support usb-audio? what image did you flash?
thanks for any tips

This thread might be dead, but I'm hoping someone out there who got this to work is still around. I'd like to mess around with pulseaudio, which can only be built on trunk. So I'm fighting with the 520gu's wireless on 2.6. The prebuilt openwrt image would freeze the router, but, thanks to the thread, I found I could build it myself with CONFIG_B43_STABLE. Now I can enable wireless without the box going haywire.
However, I can't get it to wirelessly connect to my network in client mode with WPA2. A few posts above suggests that this is possible. Could someone with a little more experience help me to troubleshoot? Here are the two config files I've changed after installation:
/etc/config/network:
Code: Select all
### VLAN configuration
config switch eth0
option vlan0 "1 2 3 4 5*"
option vlan1 "0 5"
#### Loopback configuration
config interface loopback
option ifname "lo"
option proto static
option ipaddr 127.0.0.1
option netmask 255.0.0.0
#### LAN configuration
config interface lan
#option type bridge
option ifname "eth0.0"
option proto static
option ipaddr 192.168.0.31
option netmask 255.255.255.0
option gateway 192.168.0.1
option dns 8.8.8.8
#### WAN configuration
config interface wan
option ifname "eth0.1"
option proto dhcp
/etc/config/wireless:
Code: Select all
config wifi-device radio0
option type mac80211
option channel 11
option macaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
option hwmode 11g
# REMOVE THIS LINE TO ENABLE WIFI:
config wifi-iface
option device radio0
option network lan
option mode sta
option ssid MYSSID
option encryption psk2
option key MYWEPKEY
After starting wireless with the wifi command I get a weird error:
Code: Select all
root@OpenWrt:/# wifi
Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.
brctl: bridge br-lan: Operation not supported
brctl: bridge br-lan: File exists
brctl: bridge br-lan: Operation not supported
Wireless light is on, but it's not connected to my network. Any ideas? Thank you!

I got mine to work with the following setup in the /etc/config/wireless file.
Code: Select all
config 'wifi-iface'
option 'device' 'wl0'
option 'network' 'lan'
option 'mode' 'sta'
option 'ssid' 'SSID'
option 'encryption' 'mixed-psk+tkip'
option 'key' 'PASSWORD'
Not sure about your other error yet.

I think the other error has to do with a bug that doesn't allow bridge mode with client mode. I've figured a way to get around that, for now. IggyCeltic, would you mind posting your complete /etc/config/network and /etc/config/wireless. I'm getting something wrong here and trying my best to understand these config files...
