Thanks Rob. <br>
That does lead to a hint ... what the web interface calls "IPv6
suffix" gets entered to this file as the "hostid". So now I have an
idea why the thing has *always* ignored the IPv6 suffix I was so
dutifully entering. [sigh]<br>
<br>
The daemon is running and serving IPv6 leases. (Just not nailed-down
per my intended suffix.) If I clean this up, it might resume leasing
IPv4. Or maybe it's tied to the DNS service issue? Still checking. <br>

<br>
No doubt about that. <br>
CeroWRT is/was solely to handle buffer bloat, so it never strayed
too far from the main trunk. And now it has been folded back in. <br>

Part of it would be to edit /etc/opkg.conf to point to things at

<br>
I think I already answered some of this for myself. <br>
When I compared known OpenWRT URLs to what is coded in
/etc/opkg.conf <b>and actually drilled into the layout</b>, I saw
one that appears to work. Actually was able to install a test
package. <br>

<pre wrap="">But don't do that. Just install a recent OpenWRT. They don't even
support trying to use opkg to upgrade between OpenWRT releases, let
alone trying to upgrade from CeroWRT. Even within an OpenWRT release,
they discourage doing full updates of every package that's been
updated. (The update situation is the one thing that bothers me about
OpenWRT, and it's still better there than pretty much any other home
router firmware.)</pre>

Whahh?? <br>

<br>
Saw that at some point, and will try it when I'm ready to pull the
"full upgrade" trigger. <br>
<br>
IT PROBABLY HELPS that I have a second 3800 as a spare. Need to
recover that from the office and maybe do the sysupgrade on it. <br>
