i've reimaged it already as you said.
i had my laptop connected on wifi and an ethernet cable plugged directly into the pi
then i had the ipv4 network connection settings of the laptop forcing the static ip of the laptop to be 192.168.0.101
even after doing this i could not ping or browse the IP of the raspberry from the laptop..
i made this post on openwrt forum..
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=70801If you are on wifi the route will be to that and not the pi.
change the 192.168.0 portion of the entries in /etc/config/network to 192.168.1
make a backup copy of the network file
# cp /etc/config/network ~/network-original
replace the ip value
# sed 's/192.168.0./192.168.1./' ~/network-original > /etc/config/network
double check the replacement worked
# cat /etc/config/network
restart the network
# /etc/init.d/network restart
if sed doesn't work use vi - clunky editor, an i toggles into insert mode where you can change text, when done hit ESC then :wq to write and quit.
I built my own distro for x86 and don't use a pi, by using Canaan's github repo's, so I'm going from memory here.
