[...]]]>
  • Point a browser to your new nslu2 IP (in my case 10.1.20.26) and set a new password.
  • Set your time zone (with web interface is easier 😉 )
  • Login into your nslu2 with ssh (user root, password whichever password you set previously)
  • Disable Web interface (we don’t need it 😉 ):

    • # /etc/init.d/webif disable

    # /etc/init.d/httpd disable

    • Change the hostname:

    # vi /etc/config/system and edit the “option hostname” line

    • Fresh our installation:

    # ipkg update && ipkg upgrade

    • Install kernel modules for usb support:

    # ipkg install kmod-usb2 kmod-usb-storage kmod-usb-ohci kmod-usb-serial

    • Install kernel modules for some cellular (Motorola, Samsung,…):

    # ipkg install kmod-usb-acm

    • Install kernel modules for some USB modem (Huawei E220):

    # ipkg install kmod-usb-serial-option

    • Install any other kernel modules for (almost) all serial converter (such usb modem):

    # ipkg install kmod-usb-serial-visor kmod-usb-serial-sierrawireless kmod-usb-serial-pl2303 kmod-usb-serial-mct kmod-usb-serial-ftdi kmod-usb-serial-belkin kmod-usb-serial-airprime

    • Install kernel modules for usb disk:

    # ipkg install kmod-nls-cp1250 kmod-nls-utf8 kmod-nls-base kmod-fs-vfat

    • Install useful package:

    # ipkg install usbutils pciutils minicom ntpclient

    • Add this line into start() function of /etc/init.d/boot:

    echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/status/brightness
    echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/ready/brightness

  • Download latest version of openwrt binaries from http://www.slug-firmware.net/ (or http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ixp4xx/openwrt-ixp4xx-squashfs.img for development version)
  • Install UpSlug2 (utility to upgrade the firmware of a LinkSys NSLU2 via the network), into Debian-based system, simply type “apt-get install upslug2”
  • Put Nslu2 in upgrade mode (hold-on the reset switch, turn-on the nslu2, wait 10 seconds until “Ready/Status” led blink alternatively red/green, release reset switch)
  • Connect network cable 😉
  • On command line type: upslug2 – you should receive an output similar to this one:

    • etch:~/nslu2/709# upslug2
    NSLU2     00:14:bf:70:dc:86 Product ID: 1 Protocol ID: 0 Firmware Version: R23V63 [0x2363]

    • Now upload the downloaded image:

    etch:~/nslu2/709# upslug2 -i openwrt-kamikaze-7.09-nslu2.bin

    • The ouput should end with:

    Rebooting… done

    • Now, if you have a DHCP server enabled on your network, Nslu2 take IP address from it.
