firmware in routerstation

[normunds]

Hi,
As routerstation is built on openwrt. There were some featuers in airos like channels bandwidth, channel shifting, station bridging without wds (arpnat). Are these features available. If no then how it can be integrated into it . Is there any SDK for recompiling everything.

Hello Normunds,

I do not believe these features will be enabled when using OpenWRT. I may be wrong but I will try and find out a definitive answer for you.

Thank you,

Mike

Without the special features offered by AirOS this is an uninteresting platform. Why would I want to get this instead of a MikroTik?

[UBNT-Mike.Ford]

Hello Hubernite,

Check back for the end of the RouterStation UI challenge and we will have more feature implemented. People would use this for the same reason they use Gateworks or ADI based boards.

Thanks

Mike

hi,
huber is right. What good a hardware is without a good sotware. Perhaps all fw makers make the hardware better (specially atheros). There used to be ubnt hal for openwrt. The best and fastest solution would be to give hal with openwrt which will become the most potent platform on earth (what i feel).

The routerstation has both firmware, openwrt and airos?

[UBNT-Mike.Ford]

Hello Diegor,

The RouterStation will not ship with AirOS.

Thanks,

Mike

just as information. (its no advertising). dd-wrt will also be routerstation compatible from its product start. so channel bandwidth and shifting can be used with it, if you like to

Hey BrainSlayer,

Is there a demo or lite-version of DD-WRT available for any of the Ubiquiti-products to play with, or are you still giving out free licenses for non-commercial use, as I seem to remember reading somewhere?

Hello Oliver,

You can download there 24 hours trial version and install it on LiteStation/PowerStation or NanoStation.

Thanks,

Mike

Hey Mike,

Thanks. I must have missed that one. I installed the one from their "Ubiquiti" download-dir (PS5-version) and it prompted me for an activation-key. Maybe I missed the trial-button. Will try again and have a closer look.

here u have the online demo link

www.dd-wrt.com/demo

but there are some new features missing in the demo ;-)

since its part of the v24sp2 plz install v24pre sp2 to have the 24h trial

[Oliver]

Hey Sash,

What if I don't need any of the special features? Will there be any free basic builds available for Ubiquiti-hardware, without the need for activation or other limitations? The wiki over at http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/What_is_DD-WRT%3F currently says:

"The new version of DD-WRT (v24) is a completely new project. DD-WRT offers many advanced features not found in the OEM firmwares of these devices, or even the firmware available for purchase from Sveasoft. It is also free of the product activation or tracking found in the Sveasoft firmware. "

Or is this info outdated, or is the fact that it runs on Ubiquiti-hardware considered a special feature? ;-)


Grtz,

Oliver

[Sash]

the info is half the truth and your right outdated.

this info refers to the roots of ddwrt. the customer hardware based on broadcom devices. for them this is still true. see the support list which lists about 100 supported broadcom routers.

for (semi)professional hardware like ubnt, gateworks, wistron or senao u will have to buy a license since they normaly serve the pro market, sorry.

if i can assist u pm me

[Oliver]

Hey Sash,

Yes, you might be able to help me out a bit. You mentioned that v24sp2 has a 24 hour trial, but I can only find up to v24sp1 at http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/dd-wrt/downloads.html . Didn't look much further than that. I'm interested in test-driving it on real functional hardware, to see how it actually behaves. Maybe you meant v24sp1 and I tried v24 the first time? I'll give v24sp1 a shot tonight.


Grtz,

Oliver

[bgoksel]

ddwrt is always gives a one free licence for all professionel platforms to each applicants...

[Oliver]

Hey bgoksel,

Thanks! Didn't find that info on their web-site so far. Maybe it only appears once you hit "purchase" in their shop, or register there, which I didn't do so far. I'll have a look.


Grtz,

Oliver

[bgoksel]

NOP Oliver,

You sould have to sent the reg key direct to BrainSlayers email.
He will sent the activation key after than...

[Oliver]

Hey bgoksel,

Ok, will do, once I have a permanent test-unit available to play with. Thnx!


Grtz,

Oliver

[Sash]

he

the 24h trial, like many other improvements, is part of the upcoming v24sp2 release. there are pre sp2 releases for download in

[Oliver]

Hey Sash,

Thanks, the pre-release works in trial-mode.

Did DD-WRT natively support XR3 Interfaces? i mean not using a conversion table for setting the frequency.

[spook99]

I would in no way recommend DD-WRT. DD-WRT just exploits the open source community. Brainslayer has stolen from other developers in the name of money. If you don't believe me, please educate yourself:

All the information you ever wanted to know about the exploitation of the open source community by Brainslayer

I, for one, am glad that Ubiquiti is doing the routerstation challenge. All the development will end up back in the hands of the open source community. This is doing the right thing, unlike what Brainslayer has accomplished.

i never exploited it. what jeremy wrote is just wrong and nothing else than a flaming war. in fact i'm working together with openwrt members and i'm also contributing back code constantly and all my sources are published at by svn server

my answer to this flaming blog thread can be readed here http://dd-wrt.blogspot.com/ including a comment from a user who donated jeremy some money and got just bull**** words instead of the things he requested. jeremby is very well known in the scene for beeing mad at many times. not that he is a bad developer. but he complains about alot of other people he dont like. maybe just jealous.
http://svn.dd-wrt.com:8000
shows that i'm doing more than just copying sourcecodes.

yes. you dont need to manually convert the frequencies

the following XR3 cards are supported
XR3 3.5, XR3 2.8 and XR3 3.3

additionally we support XR7, SR9, XR9 and XR4
the most have been fully tested. if one shows wrong frequencies, just give me a hint and i can fix that

[spook99]

Once again i think you are mistaken and trying to mask the issue. This goes back to the heart of the issue. The pillage of the open source community by Brainslayer/DD-WRT:

http://www.bitsum.com/about-ddwrt.htm

What we really need is people Jon to port Tomato to the RouterStation platform:

http://www.decimation.com/markw/2007/10/02/dd-wrt-vs-tomato-winner-is-tomato/

This is much better for the open source community as it doesn't steal/rape the work of others for personal gains.

Dude I for one don't care about FOSS politics. This is a support forum please keep it to support. There are a ton of blogs out there for these types of rants. DD-WRT is a tool like any other OS or program so please get over yourself and your politics. Don't like it don't support it; I for one like it and am glad it's there. I use whatever tool is best for my customers depending on the situation. That's the way it should be and I refuse to hitch my wagon to any specific platform; free or otherwise.

I guess that the *best* way to proest is to start coding.

If you release an OpenWRT implementation that does all that dd-wrt does, and for free, then you'll have made the most effective protest ever.

One thing i do not like about the 'Challenge' is that there's not much being shared, cos it might give someone an edge to get the prize.

I'll be glad when it's all over, someone has some more money, and the RS can start being useful.

[adrianatkins]

DD-WRT is great by the way, just not open source, and costs a bit.

I've used it and it works well, and i have made money with it.

Ditto Mikrotik, also linux based.

I'd rather have my own though.
