alpha rt-n firmware releases

[s1za]

Sda = 1Gb Flash Pen (Swap at sda1 and /opt at sda2)
Sdb = Sdb1 ext3 formated Iomega 1Tb disk

The sdb stops working after some reads and writes (see syslog.log file attached on previous post)

And as you can read on previous posts from March I've tried everything except install other firmwares.

today I've re-formated everything (pen with /opt and the 1 Tb hard disk), installed from scratch with r1807 (no usb hubs, no raid partitions) and still no harddisk stability. It stops after couple of reads and writes.

Such errors (-71), if not observed before, usually means bad usb cable or insufficient power for HDD.

1. The Iomega 1Tb are external 3.5 disks and have a external power suply;
2. Everything worked for 2 years on a asus 500gp without any problems;
3. The drives work perfectly (same power suply and same usb cables) attached to laptop (either windows or ubuntu)
4. the problems started when I switch the 500gp for the RT-N16 with this firmwares (I didn't tried with the original asus firmware)

I don't want to say that your HDD is bad, it has some kind of "specific"...

3. The drives work perfectly (same power suply and same usb cables) attached to laptop (either windows or ubuntu)

Does your ubuntu use obsolete 2.6.22 (or older) kernel?

4. the problems started when I switch the 500gp for the RT-N16 with this firmwares (I didn't tried with the original asus firmware)

Well, but we neither can't switch to newer kernel, nor completed usb backport yet

P.S. Mine hitachi usb hdd works well with RT-N16...

I'm trying to find a solution by excluding all the variables and it's not from disks itself but maybe from the combination of this disks with this firmware (even though I had similar results with 2.5 hdd).

Kernel is used on ubuntu 10.04 is 2.6.32

Thank's for your reply's

You can try teddy_bear Tomato K26 mod, he done some more usb backports. If it is helps, I can do fast migration of his backports.

I managed to turn on WPA2.
it took me some time since it only worked after I pressed the reset button on the back of the router
I've completely worked my way trough the web-admin again to reconfigure everything, and now it's working stable.

furthermore, I can switch between encryption modes now

Also the ethernet bridge between my wl-500w and my rt-n16 is better now with wpa2, I can get a troughput of ~6MB/s sometimes
but usually around 2MB/s

Nice to find out a way for WPA2. So the first post sholud be correted, when say: WPA 2 does not work yet.

As I can see, problem in this article slightly differ than yours.
It describes problem with initial hdd recognition and you observe problem after successful hdd initialization, right?

Anyway, I can include patch above for tests. Can you compile FW yourself?

You are right. I can compile the FW for testing.

Thank's

Thanks.

Yes, they are. Link works again ...

Does this firmware supports USB Webcam? I tried it with my Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 on my RT-N16, does not work. The same camera works with WL-500G.
