This is ASUS QoS (bandwidth management) stuff. Nothing is changed in this part. Perhaps you've changed something in the config.

Hi Oleg,

I downloaded -7c and got the following error ???

Could you please take a quick look ??

I downloaded hndtools-mipsel-uclibc-3.2.3-full.tar.bz2 instaled everything under /opt

So there is a dir

/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel/uclibc-3.2.3-full

a link from there to

/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel/uclibc

did a

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel-linux/bin:/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel-uclibc/bin

tar -xzvf GPL_1927.tgz

tar -C broadcom/src/ -xjvf wl500g-1.9.2.7-7c.tar.bz2

cd broadcom/src/wl500g-1.9.2.7-7c

make uClibc
make kernel
make

cd ~/broadcom/src/gateway
make

and got the output above

I'm using SuSE 10 ??

Any hints

thanks for your help in advanced

ankn99


P.S.: I did it the same way at a SuSE 9.3 with wl500g-1.9.2.7-5*

it always worked perfectly but I destroyed my old SuSE and using the new one !!

Hello

Thanks for your good work Oleg.

However 1.9.2.7s seems to have the same bug that early 1.9.2.6s : FTP is not working under PPPoE. You called the patch "pppoe/pptp mss clamping".

[c&s]

i have a wl-hdd with the latest oleq firmware.
I have setup user with (read/write/delete) rights but i cant wite or erase
Also the ftp recornise only the user with admin admin
any hlep;
thanks

Hi,

What can you do to completely clear a WL500g's memory? I.e. how to:
- flash another firmware release;
- clear the flashfs;
- clear the nvram settings / set nvram settings to those that are correct for this particular firmware release etc.?
- clear any other stuff that needs to be cleared :-)

In other words, how can you be sure to really start from scratch with an updated firmware? I already found some instructions on using firmware restoration, using clear_nvram firmware etc., but I'm not getting a complete picture of it yet. As a result, it seems that some settings from previously installed firmware are kept when upgrading.

Thanks!

[martijnvr]

Hi!

Please don't bother :-) Using other keywords to search the forum I found this:

http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=1329

And it worked great for me.

Oleg and other contributors, thanks for your custom firmware. It really provides added value to my WL-500g!

[cu112]

Hi Oleg,

Are there any plans for a firmware release based on the Asus 1.9.5.0 firmware ? Would really like to see all the great features you've added and WDS with WPA support ...

Using 1.9.2.7-7b on a wl500g deluxe V: If I try to change the admin password it seems that it will not be saved correctly by pushing the save button.

Result: even if the router is rebooted immediately the password keeps unchanged.

The only way I found to change it in this firmware version is to enter the new password as usual at the change password page, push the "save" button. Change to the Wireless or Lan configuration page, push the "finish" button and use on the confirmation page the "save and reboot" button. After the reboot the the password is changed.

Hi,

I'm a new member and user of the WL500g Deluxe router . I just wanted to know if this new firmware (1.9.2.7) will work in the Deluxe model?

Thanks.

Yes, it will.

Hi,

First of all, many thanks to Oleg for his continuing work.

I'd like to report a problem with the new firmware on my WL500g. PPTP VPN stopped from working. I rolled back to 1.9.2.6 and it works again. I didn't clear nvram between flashing. The config is:

ISP WAN: private static 192.168.1.112
ISP Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

PPTP:
Heartbeat: public 195.a.b.c.H
Assigned IP: public 195.a.b.c.I
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.255
Gateway: 195.a.b.c.G

LAN: 192.168.2.0/24.

Routing stopped working. The routing tables before and after the upgrade look absolutely the same:

Destination     Gateway         Genmask      Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
195.a.b.G    192.168.1.112    255.255.255.255 UGH   0      0        0 eth1
195.a.b.G    *                255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
192.168.1.0  *                255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
192.168.2.0  *                255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 br0
127.0.0.0    *                255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default      195.a.b.H        0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 ppp0

Downgrading the firmware fixes the problem.

Thanks for looking into this.

Cheers,
Andrew.

Routing stopped working.

Look three posts up. Similar problems.

Hi,
I can't seem to get the USB drives to mount without activating the built in FTP server. Not with this firmware, or previous 1.9.2.7 CR6 firmware.

What I want to do is use VSFTP as an FTP replacement for the built in FTP server: http://www.sprayfly.com/wiki/VSFTP_Guides

The messages in the system log show:
USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x1058/0x400) is not claimed by any active driver.

To me, this sounds that there is no request by any existing process for a USB drive to function and therefore it is not loaded. Is this true?

What should I change to make sure USB drives can always be mounted without setting the built in FTP server to active?

Steps how to reproduce?
1. Log in to the router: http://192.168.1.1/index.asp
2. Click USB Application
3. Select FTP server
4. Select the "No" radio button for the "Enable FTP server" field
5. Finish, and does reboot

PS. I'm doing this on the WL500g Deluxe.

It says there is no driver loaded that claims support for this device.
Namely, the usb mass storage driver is not loaded.
To save memory they get loaded when ftp (or samba) is enabled.

What should I change to make sure USB drives can always be mounted without setting the built in FTP server to active?

Load the required kernel modules manual in post-boot.
Should be usb-core usb-storage and a filesystem driver.
Start with disk and ftp on, look with lsmod what´s loaded, disable ftp, load the now missing modules with insmod and see with dmesg if all works fine .
