Hey everyone, I'm slightly new here but I've been doing a ton of reading. Anyway, I went out and got a v1 wrt350n router.... I flashed it to the latest dd-wrt v24 beta (0816).

I enabled the JFFS2 option in the web gui, and also typed these commands in to my ssh window:

nvram set jffs_mounted=1
~ # nvram set enable_jffs2=1
~ # nvram set sys_enable_jffs2=1
~ # nvram set clean_jffs2=1
~ # nvram set sys_clean_jffs2=1
~ # nvram commit
~ #
~ # reboot

~ # 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/scsi_mod.o
~ # insmod /jffs/lib/modules/2.4.30/usb-storage.o
~ # insmod /jffs/lib/modules/2.4.30/fat.o
~ # insmod /jffs/lib/modules/2.4.30/vfat.o

I also created the usb.startup and all that stuff...

So I want to get the USB port to work as a print server for now. I have seen this guide http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Printer_Sharing to set that up, however, when i try to do ipkg install kmod-usb-printer, i get this output:

~ # ipkg install kmod-usb-printer

So it tries to install the kmod-usb-core, says it installs it, then goes on to install the printer one, and then breaks because it says it is dependent on kmod-usb-core, which was just installed! I tried installing kmod-usb-core separately, and i still got the same thing when i tried to install kmod-usb-printer. It's like it tries to install it, says it is installed, but is no where to be found?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks
Daniel

Follow the link in my signature for an image with all that enabled already

hey Rekoil, I was actually using your 0810 build....but whenever I tried to install kmod-usb-printer, it gave me the same output. Also, I still have to follow the same steps to enable the jffs is that correct?

thanks

[daniel53]

also, my /opt directory is completely empty....is that right?

[Rekoil]

/opt should be empty till you've mounted the drive and installed the Optware scripts.

And my build includes kmod-usb-printer already so no need to fiddle.

[HowardZ]

try installing options with the "-force-depends" option.

The other method for installing packages is a script to just extract the files from it.
You edit the script and type in the full package names.
Of course you can change the script to work in a different directory - since /tmp is just in memory.

#!/bin/sh

# howto use
# cd /tmp/
# wget http://pastebin.ca/raw/xxxxxx -O - | tr -d '\r' > /tmp/unpack-ipkg.sh
# sh /tmp/unpack-ipkg.sh

# if the packages_url or the packages have changed change them here:
packages_url="http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/newest/packages/"
packages=" \
kmod-usb-uhci_2.4.30-brcm-5_mipsel.ipk \
