I think I know what the problem is..
telnet into the router and give me the output from
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
with the 3G stick connected. _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

Thank you for spending time on my question. The output is:

There is a missing modeswitch cmd in dd-wrt for sticks with id 12d1:14d1 so your stick does not get switched from cd-rom mode to modem mode, I will add the missing cmd so it works in the next released dd-wrt firmware.
You can issue the modeswitch cmd manually so the stick is usable while waiting for a new release:

Device is gone means that the cd-rom device has now disappeared and the stick has switched to modem mode.
Do a cat of the devices file again after modeswitch, it should show a new device which probably is 12d1:14c9.
The bad news for you is that 12d1:14c9 was added in dd-wrt around a month ago so there is no public build supporting it yet, you'll have to wait for next release.

Sorry!

So you are right, the new device is 12d1:14c9 (and the device keeps rebooting almost continuously (!?), so much it even is difficult to issue both the modeswitch and the cat commands in one go)
I don't mind waiting for the next release, I am grateful for the support you give me anyways!

The reboot is worrying, it shouldn't happen because of an unsupported id.
How do you power the 703?
Be aware that the router itself takes around 200mA and the 3G stick is specified as using up to 500mA.
Some sticks even exceeds that for short moments so you need at least a 1 Amp power supply for it, you can't power the 703 from a USB port of another device which has a standard limitation of 500mA. _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

That is probably it, I should have thought of that
I powered it from the usb port of my netbook. I will do some testing tomorrow with an alternative power source.

That was it, now using a 1A psu, and no reboots in the last two hours
Posted: Sun May 06, 2012 13:06 Post subject: Can´t access to mnt
I am having some troubles mounting a usb hard disk. I made the partitions as mentioned in the usb tutorial (one for opt another for swap other one for iffs and the last one for the data itself) but after making the partitions and trying to connect the drive it doesnt let me access to any of the drives.
When i try to do "cd /mnt/" it says " cd: can't cd to mnt".
I also tryed to do "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" but it just does nothing.
In the /dev directory at least it list
sda
sda1
sda2
sda3
sda4
so i guess that the so is detecting correctly the drive.
Thanks for the help
PS: sorry if my questions are obvious but i am very newie on linux.
After doing some research on the web and looking over the files, i concluded that: It doesnt have support for ext3 partitions, so.... would be it possible having a firmware with this. May be the cdrom support could be out couse at this point i consider it useless but in the other hand ext3 would be great. With this point i think that at least we could start to install the opkg and the other stuff.

There is no space for any kind of file systems for external USB storage on a router with only 4MB of flash, the USB port is solely intended for printer or 3G modem sticks.
The 703 is a $25 gadget, a travel router of the simplest kind and it is very ill suited for becoming a NAS, buy appropriate hardware for the job you want to do! _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
