[OpenWrt-Devel] lantiq vdsl2

[Joerg Hollmann]

Hello,

may be I can help you.
I'm running an Openreach VG3505J dsl modem with BARRIER BREAKER (14.07, 
r42625) on a t-online vdsl50 connection.
I noticed, that there are many different firmwares. Tested several of 
them. The only one, that works for me is
the firmware file I extracted from Firmware_Speedport_W921V_1.20.000.bin.
I also has to modify the dsl_control script. Below you can see the 
parameter of the running prozess.

/sbin/vdsl_cpe_control -i 00_00_00_00_00_00_00_07 -n /sbin/dsl_notify.sh 
-f /lib/firmware/vdsl.bin -a /tmp/adsl.scr -A /tmp/vdsl.scr -M 2

Regards,
Jörg

there a sewveral firmwares in the wild. I tried several of them.
