WL-500g Premium

[MMCM]

Oleg's firmware contains ether-wake.

usage: ether-wake [-i <ifname>] [-p aa:bb:cc:dd[:ee:ff]] 00:11:22:33:44:55

This program generates and transmits a Wake-On-LAN (WOL) "Magic Packet",
used for restarting machines that have been soft-powered-down
(ACPI D3-warm state). It currently generates the standard AMD Magic Packet
format, with an optional password appended.

The single required parameter is the Ethernet MAC (station) address
of the machine to wake. This is typically retrieved with the 'arp'
program while the target machine is awake.

Options:
-b Send wake-up packet to the broadcast address.
-D Increase the debug level.
-i ifname Use interface IFNAME instead of the default 'eth0'.
-p <pw> Append the four or six byte password PW to the packet.
A password is only required for a few adapter types.
The password may be specified in ethernet hex format
or dotted decimal (Internet address)
-p 00:22:44:66:88:aa
-p 192.168.1.1

You can write scripts where you remember the MAC adress of the desired PC ;-)

Edit: Sorry, this syntax is for an extended version of ether-wake I have installed on my WL-500gx. In Oleg's firmware busybox handles ether-wake.

BusyBox v1.01 (2006.01.07-10:53+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: ether-wake [-b] [-i iface] [-p aa:bb:cc:dd[:ee:ff]] MAC

I tried Olegs wl-500gP firmware.

Everything works great but when i enable the 32mb of ram with

nvram set sdram_init=0x0009
nvram set sdram_ncdl=0
nvram commit
reboot

than, my ethernet ports are dead.
Did anybody have the same promblems?

Hi,
I'm using the latest build from Oleg for the WL-500gp and I'm trying to use "ipkg.sh" to install the VPN Cisco client for openwrt (vpnc) and I get some errors from ipkg when installing not just vpnc but anything.
Is it compatible? Where can I find a guide for ipkg.sh for Oleg firmware?

Thanks in advance

It happen why i try to execute this:
wget http://home.in.tum.de/%7Epustka/mipsel/esd

Im running olegs latest firmware 1.9.2.7-7f-pre3

Hello!

I hope this is the right thread to post my question!

I baught a WL-500gP yesterday to use it as Home-Gateway with Austrian Internet provider AON (AONspeed)

It should connect to an Speedtouch 510i ADSL Modem.
With windows the connection worked with adress 10.0.0.140 for the network card and VPN connection to the modem which has 10.0.0.138.

I also used this connection with linux which was pretty simple (pppd/pptp 10.0.0.138)

My problem is that i can't get an internet connection with my WL-500gP. I used the PPTP option, local WAN adress 10.0.0.140 - Standardgateway 10.0.0.138, but the response in the log is all few seconds "input/output error: can't get channel number"

I updated to the latest official firmware, but the errors stayed the same.
I also searched this forum, but found nothing similar to my problem.
I would be very glad if you could provide me some help.

Is it possible that i could solve my problems with olegs firmware? I've seen its ins state "preview 4".

With best regards

Any important differences?

Hi Martin and thank you for your quick response!

Basically everything is the same.
Just the DNS Servers are entered manually, but I didn't try them automatic ever.

As far as I remember MTA and MTU are disabeled, but the default settings are the same.
I didn't entered an hostname till now, but i will try it in the next hour.

My actual firmware version is 1.9.6.9 but i will also try olegs 1.9.2.7-7e for the 500gP.

I'll give an update as soon as I tried it!

does anybody has problems with the FTP stuff??

cuz sometimes when I want to login it keeps saying that I can't be logged in and that I'm not in the users list.

it sucks while I did configured myself in the ftp of the router

with the 250GB I can understand that, but with the 1GB???

freaking thing, loL

[Eddie1]

Hello again!

Olegs 1.9.2.7-7f-pre4 was the solution - thank you very much @oleg!
It seems to me that the official firmware doesn't do everything in the right way - standards FTW ;-)

The same settings as before, and it worked immediately.

Also the log-output is al lot more meaningful for me as I am familiar with linux, and the now possible telnet-connection... wel, lets see what i can do with it :-)

Also thanks again @martin for your help!

Any chance the Premium will have streaming mp3 capabilities in it (standard firmware or a developed one) so I can hook up a normal USB HDD and use it with something like Squeezebox or a Pinnacle Soundbridge?

The squeezebox uses SlimServer and the Soundbridge uses MT-DAAPD (and FireFly).

[britnet]

Perhabs you can use these packages:

ushare (best one i think) Project Page here

wizd

mt-daapd (which supports iTunes)

vdr-mediamvp

for Packages look here

[Jackie_Che]

okeey I got the FTP stuff, weird thing =)

edit: deleted a noobish question

edit: is there a link for newer ipkg packages that I a noob like me can install?

edit again =) : I know there is dropbear for SSH, but I'm not familiar with it, but is it possible to activate SSH like Telnet?

Thank you vewy much :
