New oleg firmware version

[ryzhov_al]

starting the daemon:

Bind usbip.ko to a usb device to be exportable!

dunno if that's a debug message, but I modprobed usbip.ko

Yes. Thats debug message, its ok.

devices are detected properly and while mounting:

usbip_bind_driver --usbip 1-2.1
** (process:5888): DEBUG: 1-2.1:1.0 -> usb-storage
** (process:5888): DEBUG: unbinding interface
** (process:5888): DEBUG: write "add 1-2.1" to /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbip/match_busid
** Message: bind 1-2.1 to usbip, complete!

Why just 1-2.1 exported, not whole 1-2? Have You got external USB hub?
What device you try to export?

Yes, it's a harddrive connected through an usb hub.
I umounted the hdd first obviously.
The other harddrive is connected straight to the router, but I don't think it's a good idea to force umount /opt and share it over usb

I would like to solve your problem, but i have not any external hub. If i'll find one, i'll do. You may try to export entire hub (1-2).

Mounting the hub works (late answer)

anyway, I've tried the rtn version of the wl-500w firmware.
Now, is this supposed to work or is it for future development?
When I flash it with the restoration tool the device won't reboot after 10 minutes, and when I re-apply power myself it doesn't look like the router is going through a boot process at all

If you compile rtn FW for WL500W yourself, I suppose it's incomplete automation in Makefile.top - your kernel MUST be MIPS32R1

well it seems like the logic is correct:

$(LINUXDIR)/.config: .config
	cp $(LINUXDIR)/arch/mips/defconfig-bcm947xx $@
	$(call SwitchConfParam,$@,CONFIG_IPV6,$(if $(CONFIG_IPV6),y,n))
	$(call SwitchConfParam,$@,CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R1,$(if $(filter WL%,$(MODEL)),y,n))
	$(call SwitchConfParam,$@,CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R2,$(if $(filter RT-N%,$(MODEL)),y,n))

which should switch:

# CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R1 is not set
CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R2=y

I can try to manually set it to R1 to be sure

Good news^) Win64 client is avaliable.

Before step 4.2 of Compiling HowTo run

$ cd ./broadcom/src/linux/linux-2.6
$ make menuconfig

and choose MIPS32R1 at "CPU Selection".

Nice
I just manually selected it yes, and works
I noticed that my WL-500W which I use as wireless ethernet bridge has a better sensitivity now and higher throughput

Now I know that my automatic building script doesn't work because I first do "make" which builds vor mips32r2, then I run something like "make install MODEL=RT-N16" so that's not going to work
So the error is with me, allthough I didn't test if the logic in the makefile works

[sarlacc]

I get "Illegal instruction" error as a result of (almost) every command I enter.
I've tried upgrade firmware and ipkg update (illegal instruction)...

Maybe it's a bad flash?
or a faulty firmware image.

Upgraded to RTN firmware on the WL500gP today.
Got everything working but cannot figure out how to get sound working.
Attaching a USB soundcard does not load a kernel module and there's also no /dev/sound
I want to try to get ESD working
Can anybody tell me how sound support is now implemented and what to do?

Sound kernel modules are available in the modules.tar.gz file

[ryzhov_al]

Sound kernel modules are available in the modules.tar.gz file

The RTN firmware already includes sound modules:

$ find /lib/modules/ -name *snd*
/lib/modules/2.6.22.19/snd-hwdep.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.19/snd-mixer-oss.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.19/snd-page-alloc.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.19/snd-pcm-oss.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.19/snd-pcm.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.19/snd-rawmidi.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.19/snd-timer.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.19/snd-usb-audio.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.19/snd-usb-lib.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.19/snd.ko

Attaching a USB soundcard does not load a kernel module and there's also no /dev/sound
I want to try to get ESD working

To make any USB Audio Class 1.0 standards compiant soundcard work do:
1.1 Try to load kernel modules automatically

insmod soundcore
insmod audio

1.2 If it fails due to "modules.dep" absence, load modules manually in those order:

insmod soundcore
insmod snd
insmod snd-timer
insmod snd-page-alloc
insmod snd-pcm
insmod snd-hwdep
insmod snd-rawmidi
insmod snd-usb-lib
insmod snd-usb-audio
insmod snd-mixer-oss
insmod snd-pcm-oss

2 check it out:

wget -q -O - http://scfire-dtc-aa06.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1010 | madplay -

Mine works fine.

There is no ESD-daemon, just OSS.

It seems to work :-) Thanks a lot for the instruction.
I guess it is not initialized automatically due to the abscence of the waveserver. I got ESD from: http://home.in.tum.de/~pustka/WL-500...soundcard.html
In Kernel 2.4 it just caused an endles beep when playing.

Is it still needed to recompile firmware to make use of both serial ports of the asus wl500g deluxe with the new firmware? I only found a 5 year old thread about recompiling the kernel, but I have never recompiled a kernel before, so I would like to know if this is necessary, and how I should accomplish this.
