Asus Wl 520gc Drivers For Mac Pro

Kernel support for the radio is broken when using the 2.6 kernel (b43 driver) via the brcm47xx target in the original Backfire (10.03) release! OpenWrt doesn't enable the radio out of the box. If you enable it, processes get killed and the box becomes unusable. The issue is discussed. One option is to use the 2.4 kernel and the old proprietary broadcom driver (brcm-2.4 target).

See the discussion in the entry; note that the WL520GU is basically a WL500GP v2 with less RAM and FLASH. Updated: As of r21470 (May 16, 2010) the stable b43 firmware is being used as the default in trunk builds and the box will work with wireless. It may not be completely stable yet but is somewhat usable. You will have to enable it in /etc/config/wireless. Updated: In 10.03.1-rc1 (Backfire update RC1, August 2010), the b43 driver seems to work fine on the WL520GU.

Hopefully this means 10.03.1 will have robust support for this router via the brcm47xx target. Updated: as of 10.03.1-rc4 (February 2011) wifi works with brcm47xx Updated: as of 10.03.1 (March 2012) With brcm47xx system hangs as soon as wifi enabled. Downgarded to the 2.4 kernel (still 10.03.1) using openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx. More stable, but eventually hangs. I'm guessing that some process are dead/not responding, but I can still ping the box.

Also tried a version built myself from the laest source. Much as I love openwrt (it runs well for me on 2 other boxes) I eventually gave up for this unit and switched to tomatousb (2.6), which works flawlessly for the wl-520gu.
