Hello everyone!

I'm new here and also new to the world of dd-wrt, so please be patient with me. I could REALLY use some help here...I'm sort of lost.

Here at my work, I have two wireless routers. One that is all set up with DD-WRT and functioning perfectly and I have another that I'm trying to set up, but running into problems with.

The problem is a Linksys E2100L router that has DD-WRT V24-sp2 (09/24/10) std - build 15262 installed on it.

I've followed the tutorial to get JFFS set up and formated. Everything seems okay there. I see that that I have 5,760.00 KB in the JFFS2 Support section in Management under Administration.

My problem is when I use WinSCP to try and transfer some files to JFFS, it won't let me. I get an error window. I then used Putty to SSH into the router and create a directory in JFFS. It told me that the file system was read-only.

Bottom line is I need to be able to put files in there so I can use nocatsplash.

Now the router that is working with now problems...I inherited that from our previous IT guy and that is a Linksys WRT160NL that is using Build 14896. I'm able to ftp to JFFS and drop files in there. No problems....works exactly how it should.

I need to get the E2100L to do exactly what the WRT160NL is doing.

How do I get the file system to not be read-only? Can someone give me a detailed step-by-step? I've putzed my way this far, but I'm really new at this stuff.

I appreciate any and all help whatsoever!!! = )

It is not possible to have 5.76MB free for jffs2 when the flash size is 8MB and the firmware itself takes 7.5MB, that must be some kind of underflow error.

Use a smaller build like ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/2010/10-02-10-r15334/linksys_E2100L/

or spend a few bucks on last years size (2GB) of USB flash stick, and mount it at /jffs.
