Dear all, First I would like to congratulate the community for working hard on OpenWRT. For years I have been using pfSense and now that they are closing sources (aka on copyright issues) and compiling without peer review, I am turning towards OpenWRT. I am impressed by the quality of OpenWRT project. I like the ability to compile firmwares ourselves.
After migrating to OpenWRT on routers, I would like to give a try at switches. [This is a cross post on the forum, sorry]: D-Link published the GPL source code of its main router line (for individuals and small companies), which is the DGS-1210 line. It includes Gigabyte routers from 8 to 48 ports, with SPF connectors and advanced features. Those switches can be purchased for a low pricing on eBay. Example : 48 port switch for 70,00 GBP (around 98 EUR). One reason is that D-Linked never updated the firmware between hardware revision A, B, C and D. So most old switches only support IPv4 and people are massively reselling them for IPv6 compliance (and buying new ones to D-Link, is that what D-Link wants?). This may be an opportunity for OpenWRT and us hackers. All switches are running Linux. Source code is available here : http://tsd.dlink.com.tw/downloads2008detail.asp Scroll down and display lines with "GPL source code". And the click on a model, and download source code. Example: DGS-1210-10P revision A1 and A2 source code : https://dlink-gpl.s3.amazonaws.com/GPL1200117/DGS-1210-10P-GPLSourceCode.tar.gz A script allows to compile a firmware image. Do you think this is the complete source code or are some drivers not published and missing? Could you have a quick look at the source code and tell your opinion? On my side I am trying to access the console, but no luck until now. Some GPIOs are used by LED display and I have a hard time finding serial PINs. Kind regards, Gnutella _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
