Hi All,

Somehow I cannot use swap on my WRN3500L router with ddwrt installed.

HW: WRN3500L
SW: DD-WRT for WNR3500L Std. w/ USB Support (BIN) V24-K2.6 svn13401

Output from mount, uname -a, lsmod is here (saved till 1 month):

http://pastebin.ca/1752433

Steps I did:

# ipkg-opt --tmp-dir /mnt/tmp/ install busybox
# ipkg -d root -force-depends install swap-utils
# ipkg -d root -force-depends install kmod-loop
# ipkg -d root -force-depends install kmod-ext2
# insmod /jffs/lib/modules/2.4.30/loop.o
# insmod /jffs/lib/modules/2.4.30/ext2.o
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/myswap.swp bs=1k count=80000
# /opt/bin/busybox mkswap /mnt/myswap.swp
# /opt/bin/busybox swapon /mnt/myswap.swp
swapon: /mnt/myswap.swp: Function not implemented
????

I tried with linux-swap formatted partition un my usb stick as well, but same error message...

Link I followed: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linux_SWAP
Firmware used: http://www.myopenrouter.com/download/15518/DD-WRT-for-WNR3500L-Std.-w-USB-Support-BIN/

I am affraid that swap in this version of kernel is not enabled. Am I wrong? Anybody use swap with ddwrt on wrn3500l?

Did you do this?......

Use ONLY ext2/3 for partition/drives that you plan for permanent connection to your DD-WRT box, or for drives where you plan to install additional software packages onto (like optware, Samba, Torrent etc.). You can use any of the three mount points: /opt, /mnt, /jffs

All my partitions are ext3 and one is formated as swap.
I tried swap on ext3 and on swap formated partition.

Yesterday on dd-wrt channel I got the bad news:
"Function not implemented" means it is not supported.
At least not yet.

I have found the following changeset:
http://svn.dd-wrt.com:8000/dd-wrt/changeset/13410

Interesting part from src/linux/brcm/linux-2.6.23/.config_std:
# CONFIG_SWAP is not set
CONFIG_SWAP=y

In the latest svn verion is the swap support not activated:
http://svn.dd-wrt.com:8000/dd-wrt/browser/src/linux/brcm/linux.v24_2/.config_std

Short googling, what is the CONFIG_SWAP:
http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/SWAP.html

This is not for my level. I put myself on hold and wait till I can keep on building my high-tech ddwrt router

Hi,

I'm getting this "Function not implemented" message as well.

Is there any way to get swap working without recompiling the kernel?

Thanks.

In the most recent configs swap on kernel 2.6 is available:
http://svn.dd-wrt.com:8000/dd-wrt/browser/src/linux/brcm/linux-2.6.23/.config_std

You have to take a kernel2.6 build past SVN 14305
( http://svn.dd-wrt.com:8000/dd-wrt/changeset/14305 )

Hmmm, now that's weird . I'm using DD-WRT Release 04/23/10 (SVN revision: 14311).

Here is uname -a output:
Linux DD-WRT 2.6.24.111 #1853 Fri Apr 23 07:38:47 CEST 2010 mips unknown

And this is what I get when I try to enable swap:
root@DD-WRT:~# swapon /jffs/tmp/swap
swapon: can't resolve symbol 'swapon' in lib 'swapon'.
root@DD-WRT:~# /jffs/bin/busybox swapon /jffs/tmp/swap
/jffs/bin/busybox: can't resolve symbol 'swapon' in lib '/jffs/bin/busybox'.

Is there anything else I should try?

Thanks!

I haven't been able to install optware the right way on my router because, I believe, it's a big endian mips, and the optware is only available for little endian archs IIRC.

All the packages I've installed were downloaded from:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/

Maybe this is the problem...

It's actually a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND.

Is the WNR3500L a bid endian as well?

Thanks!
