No, wifi still disable.

I'm afraid we're quickly going to exceed my abilities here....but we'll give it a go. How about starting by zipping up the syslog and attaching it here. Maybe we can get it figured out with 'group' think

I will do it after I back to home. Can you tell me how to zipping up the sysolg ?

ty extract wl.ko from latest firmware by fmk (firmware mod kit)

and replace it before build firmware.

I make it in /src/router/Makefile

like this
https://github.com/AndreyPopovNew/a...mmit/4dd4d6bb37d8625a7413c408282a4b42c3914bd4

also try replace precompiled binary wl and wlconf

Please refer to syslog file as per attached.

Well, the syslog clearly shows the failure.....looks like a bunch of modules are hit, including the two that failed with the attempt at compiling for a single processor.

ty extract wl.ko from latest firmware by fmk (firmware mod kit)

I'm not familiar with fmk....can you give me a pointer?

I downloaded the latest source for the N18U, but it looks like it doesn't contain most of the precompiled binaries.

 

[AndreyPopov]

fmk (firmware mod kit)
https://code.google.com/p/firmware-mod-kit/wiki/Documentation?tm=6

you can extract wl.ko, wlconf, emf, et, igs from firmware



use lates source from rt-ac87, it contain all nessesary for rt-n18u
