TCPdump on DD-WRT Router

Hi everybody,

I am trying to install 'tcpdump' on a dd-wrt v24 (Buffalo) router.
I tried to enable jffs2 via web browser, however there is no "enable JFFS2" on the Administration tab.

I issued the following on the command line:
nvram set jffs_mounted=1
nvram set enable_jffs2=1
nvram set sys_enable_jffs2=1
nvram set clean_jffs2=1
nvram set sys_clean_jffs2=1
nvram commit
reboot

I worked fine, however I don't seem to be able to write on the device.

root@DD-WRT:/jffs# echo "abc" >test.file
-sh: cannot create test.file: Read-only file system


I understand that there is a small amount of space without an extra SD card. Is that correct?
All I really need is 'tcpdump'.

root@DD-WRT:/jffs# ipkg -d ram install http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiteru...4-1_mipsel.ipk

ipkg_download: ERROR: Failed to retrieve http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiteru...4-1_mipsel.ipk, returning


It doesn't even tell me why the download failed :-(

Can anybody help me, please?

Thanks a lot,

Did you have any luck on this? I'm experiencing the same problem.

The simpliest way is to :
- create a samba server on a computer on your network, create a folder and share it with samba ( samba - Documentation Ubuntu Francophone ) don't forfget to configure it well to have an read/write access from any other computer on the network.
- enable CIFS on Web admin of the router, and configure it with
//ipaddress_samba-server/shared-folder
pass
login

now you can install with
ipkg -d smbfs install http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiteru...4-1_mipsel.ipk

I use this way and that's works very well !!

bye

Hold reset button for 10 seconds!
