Mode on Startup
Read status of buttons:
root@wifi-ht:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio gpiochip0: GPIOs 0-21, parent: platform/10000600.gpio, 10000600.gpio: gpio-7 ( |ht-tm02:blue:wlan ) out lo gpio-10 ( |reset ) in hi gpio-12 ( |ht-tm02:green:lan ) out lo gpio-14 ( |modeswitch ) in lo root@wifi-ht:~#
For modeswitch, "lo" is Wired, "hi" is WiFi position.
Could also use slide-switch package. Biggest advantage of this is that it triggers at boot time, not just a switch change.
opkg install slide-switch
On startup On mode (button) change, copy files from /etc/config/config-wired or config-wireless to /etc/config with:
- etc/rc.d/S15config-mode -> /etc/config/config-mode
#!/bin/sh # # Set mode according to slide switch # CONFIG=/etc/config state=$(grep modeswitch /sys/kernel/debug/gpio | sed 's/.*\(lo\|hi\).*/\1/') case "$state" in lo) mode="wired" ;; hi) mode="wireless" ;; *) echo "unknown" return 1 ;; esac message="Using config mode: $mode" echo $message logger $message config="$CONFIG/config-$mode" for file in $(ls $config) do echo $file cp "$config/$file" $CONFIG done
Package Management
opkg update opkg list opkg list-installed opkg install blah opkg remove blah
Useful Additional Packages
- ?
Reset
- Controlled by /etc/rc.button/reset
- Quick press of reset button reboots
- Failsafe (long press) forces network to:
- 192.168.1.1 / 255.255.255.0
- SSH open with root / no password
- "firstboot" command to revert to factory defaults
- Hard factory reset (to 192.168.1.1.): umount /overlay && jffs2reset && reboot now
- "mount_root" to mount root partition
Configuration and Commands
Misc
- Busybox
- UCI Configuration System
- Show logging: logread -f
- wifi up
In /etc/config:
- wireless
- dhcp
- system
- network
- firewall
Custom startup scripts:
- /etc/rc.local
In /etc:
- sysupgrade.conf
DHCP
Custom options may be given per network, eg: for NTP:
- 42, 192.168.1.1
DNS
- resolv.conf symlinked to /tmp/resolv.conf which points to local dnsmasq service which delivers from its cache or via DNS servers pointed to by proxies resolv.conf.auto (DHCP client updated)

Wifi commands
iw phy0 info iw reg get iw reg set GB
See other iw commands and Reg Database.
USB and File sharing
Add packages:
opkg install kmod-usb-core kmod-usb-storage usbutils block-mount luci-app-minidlna
Show device:
ls /dev/sd* lsusb -t
Driver USB 1, 2, 3: uhci/ohci, ehci, xhci
Show device:
# block info /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1: UUID="9814-E49A" LABEL="2" VERSION="FAT16" TYPE="vfat"
Mount FAT32 USB stick:
/sbin/block mount cd /mnt/sda1

LEDs
- Panel LEDS: LED Config
- GPIO
Buttons
- Panel buttons: Button Config.
procd interface:
root@hootoo:/etc/rc.button# ls BTN_0 failsafe power reset rfkill root@hootoo:/etc/rc.button#
scripts need to be named according to the button name, like "BTN_0" or "wps" (see here). They receive values:
- $BUTTON: Name of button
- $ACTION: "pressed", "timeout" or "released". For released, script returns timeout seconds (for hold down).
- $SEEN: number of seconds
root@wifi-ht:/etc/rc.button# cat BTN_0 #!/bin/sh logger "Button $BUTTON: $ACTION (Seen $SEEN)" return 0 root@wifi-ht:/etc/rc.button#
C2600
Has an additional "lights_toggle":
[ "${ACTION}" = "released" ] || exit 0 led="c2600:white:general" device="wifinet3" logger "Button $ACTION, will toggle Guest Wifi" echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/$led/brightness case $(uci get wireless.$device.disabled) in 0) uci set wireless.$device.disabled=1 logger "Wifi disabled" ;; 1) uci set wireless.$device.disabled=0 logger "Wifi enabled" ;; esac wifi reload service network reload sleep 1 echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/$led/brightness return 0
6in4
Requires packages: 6in4 luci-proto-ipv6 and used tunnel from Hurricane Electric.
- Restart network
- In LUCI, edit wan6 and change protocol from DHCPv6 to RFC4213
- Set Remote IPv4 address (eg 74.82.46.6)
- Set Local IPv6 address
- Set IPv6 routed prefix (Routed /48)
- Dynamic tunnel
- Tunnel ID
- HE username/password
ping ipv6.google.com
Manual Config:
opkg install 6in4
uci set network.henet=interface uci set network.henet.proto=6in4 uci set network.henet.peeraddr=[get IPv4 of HE gateway] uci set network.henet.ip6addr='[IPv6 from HE]' uci set network.henet.tunnelid=[HE tunnel ID] uci set network.henet.username=[HE username] uci set network.henet.password='[HE password]' uci commit network uci set firewall.@zone[1].network='wan henet' uci commit firewall ifup henet /etc/init.d/firewall restart
