Unfortunately, I gave up on this and returned the router before I could not. It was flashed back to a Linksys firmware.

I tested the transfer speeds with the Linksys firmware and it was really slow, so it wasn;t going to work for anyways.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully, in the next router they release things will be improved.

Hi - sorry Im not very Linux literate. Ive been trying to download the USB packages for my WRT350N. IPKG Update appears to do nothing and if I try and install manually, I'm getting the following error -

ipkg -d root install http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/kmod-usb-uhci_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk
Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/kmod-usb-uhci_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk ...

ipkg_download: ERROR: Failed to retrieve http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/kmod-usb-uhci_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk, returning

Can anyone point out my mistake?
Thanks

There's no mistake, I think...
There's something wrong with ipkg at the moment...
They'll probably fix it if you post it as a bug...

I solved it by downloading first... and then install...
Code:
cd /tmp

wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/kmod-usb-core_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/kmod-usb2_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/kmod-usb-storage_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/kmod-usb-printer_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/kmod-usb-uhci_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/kmod-vfat_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/backports/rc4/p910nd_0.7-2_mipsel.ipk

ipkg -d root install kmod-usb-core_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk
ipkg -d root install kmod-usb2_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk
ipkg -d root install kmod-usb-storage_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk
ipkg -d root install kmod-usb-printer_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk
ipkg -d root install kmod-usb-uhci_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk
ipkg -d root install kmod-vfat_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk
ipkg -d root install p910nd_0.7-2_mipsel.ipk

rm *.ipk


After that you have to modify your Startup script and add....
Code:
insmod /jffs/lib/modules/2.4.30/usbcore.o
insmod /jffs/lib/modules/2.4.30/ehci-hcd.o
insmod /jffs/lib/modules/2.4.30/uhci.o
insmod /jffs/lib/modules/2.4.30/scsi_mod.o
insmod /jffs/lib/modules/2.4.30/sd_mod.o
insmod /jffs/lib/modules/2.4.30/sg.o
insmod /jffs/lib/modules/2.4.30/usb-storage.o
insmod /jffs/lib/modules/2.4.30/printer.o
insmod /jffs/lib/modules/2.4.30/fat.o
insmod /jffs/lib/modules/2.4.30/vfat.o

# Share Printer on port 9100:
/jffs/usr/sbin/p910nd -b -f /dev/usb/lp0 0

# Mount Fat32 USB Drive:
mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt

It seems to be fixed in the latest version...
Test if your DD-WRT can resolve domain names?
Code:
/tmp # ipkg -d root install http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/kmod-usb-uhci_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk
Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/kmod-usb-uhci_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk ...
Connecting to downloads.openwrt.org [195.56.146.238:80]
Done.

Hey guys, got an interesting question for ya.

I've got a WRTSL54GS.

I've got all of the packages loaded and they all seem to be working correctly.

I have a small 4 port USB Hub connected to the back of my router. Two ports are currently being used. One for a small cooling pad (as these things tend to get hot) and the other to my external HD (with ext3 on it).

the end of my dmesg looks like this:



Code:
<5>JFFS2 version 2.1. (C) 2001 Red Hat, Inc., designed by Axis Communications AB.
<6>device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
<6>device eth2 entered promiscuous mode
<6>usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs
<6>usb.c: registered new driver hub
<6>SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
<6>Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
<6>usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage
<6>USB Mass Storage support registered.
<0>PCI: Enabling device 01:02.2 (0000 -> 0002)
<6>ehci_hcd 01:02.2: PCI device 1033:00e0
<6>ehci_hcd 01:02.2: irq 2, pci mem c01ab000
<6>usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
<6>ehci_hcd 01:02.2: USB 2.0 enabled, EHCI 1.00, driver 2003-Dec-29/2.4
<6>hub.c: USB hub found
<6>hub.c: 5 ports detected


It seems to detect the hub but not the HD connected to it. Any thoughts? Or am I just crazy to think that I can connect a USB Hub to the back of my router? (The linksys firmware didn't mind the hub)

I am getting this error myself. I have tried installing the packages in all the different ways people have posted here and I can't get it to work. It happens for usb2 and uhci however the other packages seem to have installed just fine. Any help would be appreciated.

you didn't install or load usb-core or you try to load it after that one.

Hey guys, I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't seem to find an answer.

When running dmesg after loading all the modules I see this:
ehci_hcd 00:02.1: illegal capability!
ehci_hcd 00:02.1: USB 0.0 enabled, EHCI 1.00, driver 2003-Dec-29/2.4

Has anyone else had this?

I used sjorge's guide to install the drivers directly without having to do anything on the JFFS partition. Going to try it now with a normal generic bin and JFFS packages.

I have a WD MyBook which uses external power and has a sleep mode. If the drive's asleep when I reboot, I get all of the same errors everyone here does:

USB 0.0, illegal capacity
rejected address

etc

But when I power up the HD beforehand, Rekoil's build works like a charm. Obviously this may or may not apply to flash drives plugged in the back, but clearly part of the issue for me was the lack of response from the USB drive in the proper amount of time before the startup scripts moved on.

I am having difficulty installing the usb packages.

I've tried ipkg -d smbfs install... and also ipkg -d jffs install...

When I install any of the packages, it complains that usb-core is not installed.
This is even after I have successfully installed usb-core.

In addition. everything I install complains that kernel is not installed, though the installation continues.

I'm using Asus wl500gP with V24 beta 8/3/2007 voip

I would kill or at least pay for NTFS Gui support for the 350n. I can't reformat the partition to anything else so I'm stuck with linksys's system for now. I'm thinking of keeping my old router hooked up and hook the 350n so I can keep my torrent support.
