Download the following two files to a webserver on your net.
http://ipkg.k1k2.de/hack/openwrt-ar531x-2.4-vmlinux-CAMICIA.lzma
http://ipkg.k1k2.de/hack/out.hex
SSH into your box (169.254.255.1) with root/admin:
Now it get’s a bit tricky – change the ip of the eth0:1 interface to an IP on your net. You will lose the ssh connection. Reconnect.
root@OpenWRT:~# wget http://yourWebServerIP/openwrt-ar531x-2.4-vmlinux-CAMICIA.lzma
root@OpenWRT:~# mtd -e vmlinux.bin.l7 write openwrt-ar531x-2.4-vmlinux-CAMICIA.lzma vmlinux.bin.l7
root@OpenWRT:~# reboot
IP address will change – therefore Redo: Change the ip of the eth0:1 interface to an IP on your net. You will lose the ssh connection. Reconnect.
Now we need to patch the bootloader.
root@OpenWRT:~# wget http://yourWebServerIP/out.hex
root@OpenWRT:~# mtd -e "RedBoot config" write out.hex "RedBoot config"
root@OpenWRT:~# reboot
I did not try to aggregate those two steps into one!! Try at your own risk. I did not and now it works for me.
NEARLY DONE
Download the Open-Mesh modified OpenWrt firmware:
wget http://www.open-mesh.com/flashing/openwrt-atheros-2.6-vmlinux.gz
wget http://www.open-mesh.com/flashing/openwrt-atheros-2.6-root.jffs2-64k
