There seem to be some problems with the OpenWRT Freestation image: | |||
*The main ethernet port is seen by OpenWRT as the WLAN port and will try to get an IP address with DHCP, but the DHCP Discover messages will be tagged with VLAN ID 1, so you have to set up VLAN support and a eth0.1 interface with a DHCP server on your laptop in order to give it an IP. | |||
*Giving it an IP won't help you though, since neither web server nor ssh nor telnet is enabled on the WLAN port. | |||
*The other ethernet port seems to have nothing running on it. Not even a DHCP client. Also, be careful not to plug PoE stuff into your laptop. The PoE passthrough _should_ be disabled per default in OpenWRT, but you never know! | |||
