I was told not enable jffs or it would erase the last partition and brick the router. Not sure about the details, barryware told me.
I have never said that enabling jffs would brick the 600, it will overwrite the factory partition in the end of flash where I suspect the routers unique MAC address is stored.
I would not had suggest you to enable jffs if I had thought it would end up bricking the router..
At this point I can only suspect that the factory partition is the place where router unique data is stored, I have not seen a dump of it from a mint 600.
The partitions place in flash coincides with where Netgear and Asus stores their router unique data and the name of the partition is also an indication of what it contains.
I can also mention the 350N which was made at the same time by the same Linksys subcontractor.
dd-wrt does exclude that flash sector, immediately before nvram, from being used. _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

Sorry, I could only remember that it was something bad. So I pulled "brick" outta my A$$.:oops:
So if I enable jffs and it wipes that partition, then what? Where will it get the macs and how will I set them? _________________ The New Me

Ok, you people missed the point. Enabling jffs *does NOT* kill the mac address. I have already done this previously. My mac address is still good. I suspect LOM is correct in there is a place in NVRAM that the firmware cannot overwrite. It would be logical. _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26

Then how do I access this? or do i make a script that has to be put back in every flash but survives a reboot. Or can these values be put in the cfe and get used? I am not having any problems with the mac's being this way, but I would like to figure it out. _________________ The New Me

jffs enabled and cleaned
JFFS2 4,608.00 KB / 4,284.00 KB
no change in mac's.
my particular case, just to let everyone know, is i think i have a WRT600N v1.0 case and has been upgraded by Linksys to a WRT600N v1.1 _________________ The New Me

if you dig through the 65 page 600 is supported but thread, you will see from screen shots that prior to july 09, wl0 & wl1 mac addresses were in sequence. After that, one of them is out in left field. There are also screen shots showing wan (I think, maybe lan), and one of the radios having the same mac.
left field mac may have come from making sure that all interfaces have different macs. I remember there was discussion about it but I can't find the thread. _________________ [Moderator Deleted]
When the wl1 radio is set to "Mixed" or "N-Only (2.4 GHz)", my 2.4GHz N nic doesn't see it, it only see's wl0.
Which version of the firmware is this v24 or v26? Thanks.
Note I didn't fine a mini usb ftp under the 13832 v24 version is why I ask.
Thanks in advance.
A WRT600n can *ONLY* use K24 at this time. K26 will brick a WRT600n and there is not an easy way to recover. The NEWD2 drivers that are from Brainslayer work (the WRT610 trailed version), but then that is not the K26 kernel either. _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26

You are on the right track. Basically before the change, WAN and wl0 had the same MAC address. It didn't bother me, since I clone WAN anyway. But there was a change right around the time you mention that fixed WAN and wl0 being the same, but made wl1 (I think) basically some random address from out in left field.
Either way, doesn't bother me much, and what harm does it really do? _________________ WRT600N v1.0 & v1.1 - Eko 12548M std-nokaid NEWD-2

My wl1 and wan are the same, that's what I was originally trying to fix. I haven't noticed any problems with it, it just bothers me _________________ The New Me
