Firmware v1.9.2.7 CR6, updated to CR6a ... now CR6b [Oleg]

[bwpow]

Hello,
I have problem with 1.9.2.7 customized firmware. I have switched wan and lan port, so computers are connected to WAN (dhcp runs there) and LAN is bridged with wireless and connected to corporate router (and to the internet). In one segment I have over 20 Asus WL500g routers connected into the tree (no cycles). When there is traffic on this network, some malformed packets appear. Something like this:

01:06:47.970228 172.16.0.20 > 00:0b:6a:32:81:96, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 60: truncated-arp
        0x0000:  4500 0028 a0be 4000 7f06 bcd1 0a00 1403  E..(..@.........
        0x0010:  51d7 2e66 0a50 b848 6902 4476 a894 60f9  Q..f.P.Hi.Dv..`.
        0x0020:  5010 fbb8 9c3c 0000 0000 0000 0000       P....<........

These packets were originaly standard TCP/IP packets from the computers connected to the WAN (they still contain beginning of the IP packet, so I was able to trace them to originating computers). 172.16.0.20 is the LAN/Wireless IP address of the Asus router. But it isn't still originating router, that discards the packet. Sometimes it is done by router in the way (on the bridge between wireless and LAN) from originating router to corporate router.

Does anybody have some idea how to solve this problem?

the command wl txpwr1 -1 which is supposed to set things to default
sets txpwr to 255
in cr6b and possibly others

stil no reply on above bug

furthermore could you please change macaddress filter page to accept
mac adresses in the form of 00:05:4E:45:BB:FF instead of 00054E45BBFF

now i must copy the mac adres paste it somewhere else remove the colons copy it again and then paste it in the page.

This is not a bug, this is by design. And, yes it's set to default, not 255 (255 == -1). If you do not like this - submit your request to Broadcom

No, as this would break much of internals and I do not have time to debug whole the crap. Also, this would cause lot of complaints from other users, as they remove colons already.

it is set to 255

if i have the time i will have a look at it

In version 6b SSH crashes with a segfault if i try to enable TCP forwarding

The command: ssh -L 1000:fooa:1000 me@foo.com will segfault after i insert the password.

Is this a bug or i'm missing something?

This is a dropbear bug, fixed now in the 0.46, would be included to the firmware.

Im experience some issue in this firmware since i was testing with a cable caTV DOCSIS connection.

The issue its the router stop replying to WAN(internet) connections, and my connection to internet goes off after some time.

I have searched all the log and i dont detect any abnormal problem. But when happens again i will put here.

Any diference from the router configuration that i made to use this connection to internet was switch from PPOE to Automatic ip in WAN connection type.

Another observation, its when this happen all i need its to disconnect from the router like. Disable the ethernet device and reconnected again. The same happens to wireless connections. And sometimes i just need to wait so i can get back the WAN working again.

Does anyone know this issue or how can i resolve?

Can be this a problem from my modem or isp?

I hope that someone could help me out.

Oleg, could we have a TARPIT target for iptables in the next firmware?
I would just love to throw these attackers in!

It's already there.

ls /usr/lib/iptables/

If it's already answered, I'm sorry but I can't find it.
How do I get access to the USB-Harddisk with this firmware (with CR4 it was /tmp/harddisk, but it isn't possible with the CR6)
Thanks a lot
//EDIT: I'm sorry, I didn't plug in the device correctly... Sorry

I've updated my wl300g with Oleg's firmware, an I've noticed that when I set WAN IP to static and use ie. 10.200.0.2/255.255.0.0 and LAN to 10.200.0.1/255.255.0.0, after restart I endup with WAN 1.1.1.1/255.0.0.0 (?!) and LAN IP is as it should be. So, is there a way to fix this throgh web interface, or shoud i start learning vi?
TIA

PS. I'm sorry if this is not the right thread to post in

im waiting for a new firmware from oleg with the new stuff that asus also has in their wl500g.

[alien433]

oleg no more time for a new firmware for the router?

You've to learn networking concepts first, not vi. WAN and LAN ports could not be in the same net, otherwise routing will not work. So firmware reseted your incorrect values.

Which stuff do you expect?
