Piranha 3.0 100123 aka 100117r1 has been released. To be seen as a bugfix release for the broken MMC card support in Piranha 3.0 100117, this snapshot release ships with the very same feature set as the previous snapshot. Most notable changes are:
- OpenWrt trunk r19302
- fixed MMC card support (ext2)
- wpad-mini replaces hostapd-mini and wpa-supplicant
For an appropriate setup of your MMC card, I’d like to refer you to the Piranha 3.0 100117 release announcement. I certainly very much appreciate your feedback on that particular feature.
Special thanks goes to OpenWrt developer nbd for his great support in fixing the build issues with the kmod-mmc-over-gpio package.

I’m glad to announce that digininja, the creator of Jasager and Interceptor, recently joined the Piranha team as a Global moderator at the forums and as an Author at this blog. He’s a very engaged and experienced kind of person and I’m very happy to see him joining the team. Want to know more? Please have a look at his website and get the information you’re interested in. I’m really looking forward to work together in pushing the Piranha Project into an even better future!

Piranha 3.0 snapshot release 100117 aka 091101+1 just left the Buildserver and is now available for your convenience. Based on OpenWrt trunk r19179, it ships with:
- AAP 091101
- FON heartbeat 090925
- Aircrack-ng 1.0
- MDK3 v6
- Mac Changer 1.5.0
- MMC card support (ext2)
- CIFS share support
MMC card support (ext2) is somewhat experimental so far as I unfortunately do not own sufficient hardware to test this particular feature. Thus I’d highly appreciate your feedback. Assuming a configuration/pinout as described here, the MMC card setup should be a breeze.
# uci set mmc_over_gpio.@mmc_over_gpio[0].enabled=1
# uci commit mmc_over_gpio
# /etc/init.d/mmc_over_gpio start
# /etc/init.d/mmc_over_gpio enable
Afterwards, you should be able to mount the ext2 formatted MMC card to any directory of your desire.
Piranha 3.0 100117 introduces a slight change to its default station mode configuration. It now broadcasts an unencrypted SSID “OpenWrt” by default and enables you to connect both wireless and wired to the device (in bridged configuration). Thus, whatever connection method you choose, Piranha assigns you an IP via DHCP in range of 10.0.0.0/24. Certainly, the SSID is only available if the device is successfully connected to a wireless gateway with its client interface.

He has been around since Dec 2008 over at FoneraHacks and he contributed a lot to the Piranha community in both a supporting and developing capacity so far. I’m very happy to see him joining the team and I’d herewith like to give a warm welcome to him.

Thanks to a friend of mine, I have a new Buildserver in place that hopefully will deliver Piranha 3.0 091101+1 very soon. Not sure if you’re interested in, but I think it’s worth sharing some details about it.
- AMD Athlon XP 1600+ CPU
- 512 Megs of RAM
- Epox 8KHA+ Motherboard
- 2x 10 Gigs harddisks for / and /home respectively
All that lives in my cellar now with an Gargoyle device attached to it running in client bridge mode and connected to my wireless network. I drive it as a headless setup and connect to it through a SSH terminal session. Almost forgotten, certainly it’s running a CLI only Archlinux setup with an OpenWrt Buildroot-ng on top of it, I actually love it.
