This package looks good.  I downloaded it late last year and it seemed to work good (built a lot automatically), but I didn't have time actually install the firmware it generated with make world...

I just downloaded the latest version, but it's not working.  It fails applying a patch to a Makefile.  Will this fix itself when sources it pulls from is updated, or does this package need updating?

Also, does the patch that is mentioned for 64-bit machines apply still, or has that been incorporated?

Thank you.

I suspect the upstream version of OpenWRT has changed one of the makefiles (not unexpected) which is why the patch will not apply. Its probably very easy to fix, if I get a chance I will take a look later this week.

Attempts to get the patches accepted into the main branch of OpenWRT have so far been unsuccessful. If your interested in helping with that, or anyone else reading this, please drop me a line.

The 64-bit patches to mkchkimg have been applied to this package, and the mkchkimg download separately on this site.

I made it, in file mkchkimg.patch must change from

After uploading generated .chk file to router i found out that i can't find wireless network. Is there some patch for wireless card or i am doing something wrong?

Thanks for your patch; you have saved me a job. I will incorporate it in the next release!

By default the wireless connection is disabled in OpenWRT. You will need to ssh/telnet in via a wired connection and edit the config in /etc/config/wireless.

I know, i am using openwrt on other routers, i enabled it and it's still not working. Led is blinking but i am not detecting wireless network. I think that the problem is in wireless driver, or something that i should enable in kernel.

I uploaded my firmware on another router and wirelessis working, so problem is on the router. I tried erasing nvram and reflashing the router but wireless still not working with openwrt.

I have updated to version 0.4; including the patch above...

While trying to build a new openWRT image I noticed a small bug in the current Makefile. The openWRT people changed their SVN setup a bit and only accept the svn protocol. To succeed the subversion checkout change the line containing:
svn co https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/ && \
in:
svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/ && \
or for the latest stable kamikaze release:
svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/8.09 trunk && \

Will now try to get a working image and hopefully add asterisk to it.

Patching is broken also. Again the file tools/firmware-utils/Makefile has changed. Change in the file patches/mkchkimg.patch:
