[OpenWrt-Devel] BT Home Hub 5 support

[Mauro M.]

After more investigation I was unable to activate the BtHomeHub 5 build 
in OpenWRT code.

I had been away from this forum for a while and I was not aware of the 
LEDE fork.

I have seen these "lede" images on the router wiki page, but initially I 
did not know anything about LEDE so I did not consider them.

When finally I had the time to follow the links and read and digest the 
story, I pulled the code from GIT and found out that BtHomeHub5 build 
can be configured, the code is newer and it looks better. I was able too 
to merge into my LEDEe git pull my ipvs module that I tried back in 
February/March to get included in OpenWRT without success (it was a 
really painful experience and the reasons behind the LEDE fork explain 
my experience). The ipvs merge into LEDE did not require any 
modification. Great!

So for anyone looking for the right firmware for this router --> move to 
LEDE.


Thank you
