OpenWRT on Pogoplug Pro / V3
March 31, 2015 04:30PM
Anybody daring out there can you figure out how to get OpenWRT working on the Pro / V3? See my contribution here: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=270503#p270503 You see I've tried but am not skilled enough to get around the u-boot issues. Hoping someone could figure it out as I think the Pro / V3 with built in mPCI-e wifi with Atheros 300M card would make a perfect router / AP: Not taking anything away from this site, I've got my other plugs running bodhi's Debian :)

If you post your problem booting OpenWRT here in u-boot section, I will help. Don't worry about running different OS, Debian/Arch/OpenWRT does not mater! We are u-boot forum too :)

That CHAOS CALMER message Leggo found, does that qualify as an Easter Egg? Best laugh all day.
For me though, alcohol + computers = do it over.

Maybe you like this site because "doozan" kinda rhymes with "boozin", eh? :)

@Lego

I have a PPv3 with an atheros based chip - so if you want a tester for you code and compiled work. let me know.

@Gravelrash - I am not the OP over at OpenWRT, just a tester / contributor. But I would like to get it to work. I think the plug combined with a managed switch (for VLAN support) or with second usb ethernet adapter would make a great router / AP. Without the switch, it would be at least a great AP. Dual core and 128Mb of ram and nand is a whole lot more than most routers (even expensive ones) come with. All the parts are there it's just getting them to work together.

FYI, the Debian AP set up tutorial is here, by davygravy:

You must have a camera on me! j/k

I followed that guide verbatim and it worked perfectly on the Pro.

Not so much on my E01 (not a typo, original PP) because I have a RTL8192cu wifi usb adapter that refuses to let anything authenticate to the AP. I've redone it at least 4 times, even followed different guides and same result. Just as well, I'll just re-purpose the adapter for another SOC.
