Hardware

For target platform we will use standard PC with D-link DWA-520G (Atheros chipset) WiFi board compatible with hostapd. We install 2 NIC (Intel Ethernet 100) to provide WAN and LAN interfaces.

Build OpenWrt

Downloading

I recommend download latest trunk version. Use subversion repo:

[verem@aipetry ~]$ svn checkout https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk kamikaze

After downloading rename directory - append trunk version suffix. I my case:

mv kamikaze kamikaze-r11772

Building prerequisites

For build OpenWrt images i used FC8 (Fedora Core 8) distro. Make sure you have installed:

• gcc
• g++
• bison
• flex
• ncurses-devel
• zlib-devel

Configuration

Goto to source directory and configure:

[verem@dev-2 src]$ cd kamikaze-r11772
[verem@dev-2 kamikaze-r11772]$ make menuconfig

Select:

• Target system x86 [2.6]
• Check:
  • Select all packages by default
  • Advanced configuration options (for developers)
  • Buildsystem settings
  • Build the OpenWrt Image Builder
  • Image configuration
• override built-in for Network:
  • hostapd
  • hostapd-mini
  • hostapd-utils
  • wpa-supplicant
• override built-in for Kernel modules - Network Devices that will be used in your platform, in my case Intel(R) PRO/100+ cards.
• override built-in for Kernel modules - Wireless Drivers that will be used in your platform, in my case Driver for Atheros wireless chipsets

After this changes made exit and confirm changes saving

Building

Start building process:

[verem@dev-2 kamikaze-r11772]$ make
++ mkdir -p /home/verem/src/kamikaze-r11772/staging_dir/toolchain-i386_gcc4.1.2
++ cd /home/verem/src/kamikaze-r11772/staging_dir/toolchain-i386_gcc4.1.2
++ mkdir -p bin lib include stamp
