What would be the latest openwrt that I can use with WDR4900 and expect it to work? And if there are some bootloader replacements, I am willing to test / do, I need TTL-serial anyway
<olmari>
to recover from current mishap :D

hmm.. id DOES seem master from yesterday DID wen into the device just fine, despite me not reaching it remotely... TTL console shows openwrt running just fine

So it must be either some very old network config copied that doesn't work, or something else, still debugging, but this looks more promising that I initially thought :)

olmari: with bad bootloader serial adapter won't help.
<olmari>
PaulFertser: I can understand that too, but apparently s**t on better condition and more of other infra error than WDR4900 itself
<olmari>
I was expecting device to be either totally bricked or bootloader yelling "help" or whatever, but it indeed seems to be very alive and well

olmari: I mean if bootloader replacement goes bad serial won't be the way to recover
<olmari>
PaulFertser: then it would be JTAG thing, or finally throw the thing over the shoulder
<olmari>
Sad thing is that otherwise device still performs so effing awesome in the context, things done by openwrt devs to make it still bootable with whatever the bootloader deficiency is, is so lovely
<olmari>
PaulFertser: Let's start from beginning, it seems to boot very fine right into openwrt
<olmari>
"just" not reachable over network, which can be any number of PEBKAC too

I thought I bricked it because of upgrade from remote, but apparently it is not as bricked at all
<PaulFertser>
olmari: are you able to initiate "generic failsafe"?
<olmari>
Probably? I mean it boots all the way into openwrt, so in that sense nothing is wrong
<olmari>
(hooked in TTL)
<olmari>
it might not help that I baked in network config for the device in buildroot :P
<olmari>
At the moment IDK what is exactly wrong, network config in general seems to be okay, ifconfig shows interfaces, but no traffic flows

a-ha, deleting nework config and letting owrt generate new one from scratch I see there is not some additional configs... now data flows.. this is easily salvageable now! :)
<olmari>
..I do wonder why luci always complains not compatible to upgrade, but that is also "whatever" as long as shit keeps working :P
<olmari>
I mean I could understand it between major things changed, like ar71xx and ath79 (or so), but IDK what is this one about, especially between master from yesterday and today =)
<olmari>
..maybe it is/was the network config things..

umm.. under this new DSA thing (I think), how do I define VLANs?
<olmari>
LUCI doesn't have switch config anymore, and /e/c/network nor the LUCI interface thing is not immediately clear :)
<olmari>
oh... immediately after asking, I did found "add device configuration" -page :D

Yeah, This is coming along just fine now, thank you :P
