Firmware 1.9.2.7 CR9

[Oleg]

Have you read release notes?

Enabled Idle Disconnect functionality for PPPoE/PPTP. It's recomended to turn this feature off by typing zero in this field.

[tarosk]

Thanks for help, after setting "Idle Disconnect" PPPoE works fine. May be u could make this default

Anyway what about the FTP issue? accounts with "Read/Write" access to ftp_pub work OK, but for accounts with "Private" access does not work - connection "freezes" after sending password. Both ftp_pub and ftp_pvt exist and have same access control.

system log:

after typing password, there's no response (even if log says login is successful)

I tried to turn off passive mode, but with no luck.

Just FYI (asap I'll have some time I'll upgrade again and paste the errors from system log for you Oleg)

Upgraded from 1.9.2.7-7g to CR9. I've saved my old settings and FlashFS. After flashing CR9 I had to reboot WL500g manually (pwr off/pwr on). Power led was off, AIR+WAN+LAN leds showed activity before. After reboot I found some kernel errors in console - saying something about memory allocation with some memory/register dump. I tried reloading settings+flashfs from backup. I had to reboot manually again (pwr off/pwr on). Result was that OpenVPN was not working. So I reverted back to 1.9.2.7-7g, again reloaded settings+FlashFS from backup and everything works like a charm again.

I've succesfully updated from cr8 to cr9, now my scanner refuses to work. If I downgrade to cr8 again scanner works like a charm.

I've updated the sane backends to the newest version, then it says following:

Off course there is a /opt/sbin/saned present but that won't work

Anyone an idea why sane don't work with cr9?

Seems it is related to scanner.o. It does load, but sane-find-scanner does not find any scanner. IN cr8 it works flawlessly...

[sebw]

I see that the separate download modules include scsi_mod, sd_mod and usb-storage.

It may be a silly question, but, I presume the modules are also still part of the main firmware, since without them how can one mount a drive to opt? Is this a bit of unnecessary duplication or am I missing the point?

[al37919]

Yes it is a bit of unnecessary duplication

[Oleg]

Seems it is related to scanner.o. It does load, but sane-find-scanner does not find any scanner. IN cr8 it works flawlessly...

There are was huge number of kernel updated, so most likely scanner.o should be recompiled with current kernel.

[Oleg]

There are was huge number of kernel updated, so most likely scanner.o should be recompiled with current kernel.

BTW, newer scanner.o is included in the modules-1.9.2.7-9.tgz .

[wiz]

There are was huge number of kernel updated, so most likely scanner.o should be recompiled with current kernel.

thanks Oleg, I'll give it a go to try to build it myself. If I get it working I'll put a posting in the sane thread and attach the new scanner.o.

regards,


Wiz

Hmmz, just read yr posting about it being available already in the modules gz. I'll give it a go tonight, am using the connection at the moment to work, so once I am done I will give it a go.

[Skoell]

hello,

i didn't find any information on the question if vlan tagging for VDSL is available on the current FW or any older releases.

the "problem" is, im using VDSL and the DD-WRT provides an option "activate DTAG VDSL tagging" in order to be able to use the vdsl.

does the oleg FW also can do that?

[Oleg]

Here is a part of log what I get after upgrade to CR9

Why do you activate swap twice?

Why do you load scsi stuff manually? This is no longer needed (check release notes). If you want to do this on your own - disable usb storage in the web iface.

You've to fix this first, before blaming if something does not work.

BTW, I've OpenVPN running on my router and "it works like a charm".

Oleg thanks for kicking my ass "the right way". I've never said, that your firmware sucks or something similar against it. All I need was some advice and you gave it to me - so thanks, now everything works as expected

Maybe I should ask directly

[Oleg]

Thanks for help, after setting "Idle Disconnect" PPPoE works fine. May be u could make this default

It should be 0 by default, but looks like you've not resetted your router to default or used old config, right?

Anyway what about the FTP issue? accounts with "Read/Write" access to ftp_pub work OK, but for accounts with "Private" access does not work - connection "freezes" after sending password. Both ftp_pub and ftp_pvt exist and have same access control.

Private directories should be created manually (just like home directories in real unixes). So you've to create ftp_pvt/taro first.
