**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Nov 28 02:59:57 2011 Nov 28 11:46:43 hi Nov 28 11:52:28 I'm running openwrt with kernel 2.6.30.10 on a fonera2 (2202). However, there's nothing inside /sys/class/leds so I can't controll the leds Nov 28 11:52:43 Is there a kernel module for this? which one? Nov 28 11:53:54 Perhaps there's a kernel patch in the fonosfera repository? Nov 28 11:55:17 Hmm, there seem to be two related patches, but they don't add support for leds, just tweak it Nov 28 11:55:29 they do suggest that linux-2.6.26.2/arch/mips/atheros/ar5315/board.c is responsible for the leds, though Nov 28 11:56:16 http://trac.fonosfera.org/fon-ng/browser/trunk/openwrt/target/linux/fonera2/patches-2.6.26/950-fon2_led.patch Nov 28 11:56:19 http://trac.fonosfera.org/fon-ng/browser/trunk/openwrt/target/linux/fonera2/patches-2.6.26/952-fon2_ledtrig.patch Nov 28 11:58:29 blathijs: thanks Nov 28 12:00:32 so, I assume it's not possible to controll the leds, unless I recompile it manually Nov 28 12:00:57 by "it", I mean the kernel + flash image Nov 28 12:03:44 There might be a module, not sure how this works in OpenWRT / unpatched kernels Nov 28 12:03:49 perhaps #openwrt knows? Nov 28 12:08:18 One more thing, my Fon2 is one of the first ones, and has a very slow flash chip. it takes 30min or more just to flash. Nov 28 12:08:42 is it possible to replace this flash chip with a faster one? Nov 28 12:09:39 would reads/writes become faster? or is the speed limited by other components? Nov 28 12:10:00 btw, the Fon2 takes almost 1min just to boot. a similar asus router takes <15sec Nov 28 12:21:50 ... Nov 28 12:22:06 I have and older fon 2201 router that seems to be crashing randomly Nov 28 12:22:49 I think it might be errors in the flash. is it possible to test the internal flash for errors and "reformat" it so that any badblocks are not used? Nov 28 12:24:39 I think replacing the flash chip would probably suffice, but I'm not sure (also, it's probably SMD, so soldering in another one isn't easy) Nov 28 12:25:42 As for the booting, I think some of it because of the extra features built on top of openwrt, instead of integrated. I suspect that the latest beta might boot a bit faster, but haven't actually tested that Nov 28 12:26:31 For your 2201, did you try replacing the power supply? Most stability problems are caused by a faulty power supply, it seems Nov 28 12:38:25 blathijs: is there any point on the inside of the router that I can monitor voltage and see if it's a power problem? Nov 28 13:24:59 zen__: I don't know, sorry. Nov 28 13:25:33 the power supply may indeed be the source of the problems Nov 28 18:46:22 Hi, I'm not able to use any USB sticks or USB drives on my fonera 2.0N, I tried both the latest stable and beta2, on the console (dmesg) I get things like: http://pastebin.com/RhsFMCUg does anyone know whether my port is broken or is this something else ? Nov 28 18:57:15 Bert_2: dodgy power supply? Nov 28 18:57:29 khanku: of the fonera or the USB device ? Nov 28 18:58:23 well the fonera... has your usb device its own power supply? Nov 28 18:58:51 tought you were trying to use a thumbdrive Nov 28 18:59:43 yeah, I am using thumbdrives, I thought you misunderstood that part ;) Nov 28 19:00:22 12:23 < blathijs> For your 2201, did you try replacing the power supply? Most stability problems are caused by a faulty power supply, it seems Nov 28 19:00:23 I bought this fonera 2nd hand, but I think it's the original power supply, it has barely been used at all, and all other features work, just the USB port is acting crazy Nov 28 19:00:54 I'm using n, so that's 2303 ;) Nov 28 19:00:59 Bert_2: also: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/usb-over-current-change-killing-usb-ports-451561/#post2288935 Nov 28 19:01:57 Bert_2: sure, but you still have a lot of "over-current change on port 1" in your logfile Nov 28 19:02:15 khanku: yeah, sounds reasonable Nov 28 19:02:47 so, with power supply you mean the plug+cable thing, right, or is that integrated into the fonera ? Nov 28 19:03:57 (sorry i'm asking such silly questions but I don't know a lot about networking hardware) Nov 28 19:04:46 yeah, the part you plug in a socket Nov 28 19:06:00 is it correct that I can use any 12V 1A DC with the right plug ? Nov 28 19:06:23 s/DC/DC power supply Nov 28 19:06:54 I think so Nov 28 19:07:15 I don't have the specs in mind nor am I an electricians though :) Nov 28 19:07:26 -s Nov 28 19:07:42 well, it says 12V 1A on the side of the fonera 2.0n Nov 28 19:07:52 well then Nov 28 19:08:25 right, and do you by chance know whether the authentic fonera 2.0n power supply has any signes, stickers or other things I can recognise ? Nov 28 19:08:37 let me check Nov 28 19:08:56 mine seems to be totally smooth :S Nov 28 19:10:49 Bert_2: mine is called "switching power supply [...] made in china" :) Nov 28 19:10:56 wait, there is a model number Nov 28 19:11:13 PSA12E-120 Nov 28 19:11:27 and is it on the top or the bottom ? Nov 28 19:11:44 cause if it's on the bottom I can't check now (I'm using the fonera for this session :p) Nov 28 19:11:48 on the side you plug in a power socket Nov 28 19:12:02 also there is a bar code on one side Nov 28 19:12:05 k Nov 28 19:12:14 let me get a flashlight :p Nov 28 19:12:38 yes, youd would have to unplug the whole thing to read it Nov 28 19:13:22 yeah, then that'll be for later, I'm doing some work online now :p Nov 28 19:13:32 thx a lot for your help man :D Nov 28 19:14:01 I'm pretty sure you're right on the power supply ;) Nov 28 19:14:02 you're welcome Nov 28 19:14:45 let us know Nov 28 19:15:12 I will, I'm registered here on this nickname, so you'll hopefully recognise me ;) Nov 28 19:16:48 ok ;o) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Nov 29 02:59:57 2011
