alpha rt-n firmware releases

[lly]

To come back on the WiFi problem I had...

WiFi driver wasn't changed at all, only parameters in r1480...

Anyway, does someone know how to make the harddrives to spin down? hdparm doesn't seem to work and my old scsi script doesn't work for the RT-N (hence it doesn't have any)

Have you try scsi start/stop utilities from project downloads page?

I know, I'm not saying the driver changed

I used those utilities on my WL-500W yes, but on my RT-N16 my drives don't show up as scsi drives.

normally I'd use the utilities in that famous spindown bash script that can be found on the forums, by using this entry /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
but I don't even have the directory /dev/scsi

or should I just use /dev/discs/disca/disc or something?

2.6 kernel uses /dev/sd[a-z] entry for drives and /dev/sd[a-z][0-9][0-9] dor patritions, and /dev/discs/disca/disc is just a symlink to /dev/sda for now

suspected something like that.
and the scsi tools work fine on /dev/sda

Sounds great! Can you provide me with instructions on how to use/install the tools. Thx

I'm just using the script from: http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=47135&postcount=10

I modified it a bit tho, since the start stop utilities are pre-installed with the new firmware
look at: http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=203696&postcount=173

I found out that the script doesnt do that much...
because in /proc/stat there is no value called "disc_io"

I was looking for a replacement... but haven't found any yet

is there a way to add that value?
