[joshi]

I find another firmware release ,working great.

http://koppel.cz/cdmawifi/download/155/WL500g-1.9.2.7-3c-CDMA-1.55.trx

SNMPd is in it.

[britnet]

In the new version the firmware supports up to 32 bandwith rules.

http://koppel.cz/cdmawifi/download/History

Probably this Forum an the czech Forum could work together.

But pleeeaaase in English!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[engy]

Yes.
It's our modification of Oleg's firmware to support USB GTRAN modem for CDMA EV-DO which runs on 450MHz. This wireless technology is only in Czech republic.

[mr0mega]

Wow, it looks like it may help my networking problem, does the VPN allow me access to a usb disk in the router?

Also, is the interface in English?

[engy]

No. It's only in czech because CDMA is only in czech. USB disk is accessible via FTP.

[petgun]

No. It's only in czech...
..that is a political reason..not technical?

[engy]

Yes. When CDMA and our firmware modification will by widely used, it will by also in english.

Here is the link to source code for this version

[Oleg]

I've no much time to extract extra patches from source code (if there are any), so authors are appreciated to do this and send it to me.

Hi to you all,
Just here to C if we could work out a CDMA2000 Firmware distro.

There is a company here at Portugal implementing a CDMA2000 network (Zapp.pt (http://www.zapp.pt)) and the release of such a Firmware would be very apreciated by all of us.

If you have intrest don't hesitate in contacting me by MAIL (ruben.sacramento@zapp.com.pt)

ok.. I'm curious.. what is this exactly ?

how far does it reach ? is this gsm alike technique or is this specially for users or something ?

[engy]

Hi.
Here is page in English about CDMA in Czech republic
http://www.eurotel.cz/jnp/en/services/service/en-services-dataContainer-S4_InternetAemail-EurotelDataExpres-uvod.html
And with coverage
http://www.eurotel.cz/jnp/en/services/service/en-services-dataContainer-S4_InternetAemail-EurotelDataExpres-pokryti.html
23 CZK = 1 USD
It's 3G CDMA EV-DO (Data optimized) data only network with max 2Mbps download and 160kbps upload. Ping is 200 ms, in rev. A will be 20ms.

I'm 15km far from BTS and at night it works at 1Mbps and over and at day time at 300kpbs. It's an only one solution in small villages without ADSL.

ok thus just another one like UMTS / GPRS / EDGE bla bla bla

but have to say ~30 euro's is not that much for a flat fee (?) for stuff you can almost use everywhere you want.

tx for the info :)

[rexster]

is the firmware interface in english?
if not, any english version?

will Oleg's fw ever support gprs/cdma modem?

i think it'll be great to put gprs/cdma modem support into fw.

my plan is to plug my gprs/cdma modem into wl500g/x and put it on my car with a modified power supply.
so i'd got a truely mobile hotspot. anywhere you see my car you can use the hotspot...

[herrisom]

Unfortunaelly the .cz firmware for wl-500gx contains a ppp not compiled with support for active-filter.

I guess even using iptable I still not able to stop internet since idle time is never reached due to misc incoming packages.

Could it be possible to include ppp filtering in a new firmware or provide a ppp package with support for acrive-filter (I'm interested in outbound keyword).

Please help me or provide me an alternative to be able to ignore incoming packets when dial on demand is used with pppd.

Thanks a lot

[cfree]

So has a CDMA package been developed for Oleg's software?

Can't really try Oleg's as I'm CDMA dependant for the internet.

[Asmadei]

in this firmware exist property " use my dialup file"
There are i can get this files, and read about this?
And what is structures of this files?

Hi Everyone,

I was visiting http://koppel.cz/cdmawifi/download/164/WL500g-1.9.2.7-7f-USB-1.64.trx,
and found out that they have a new soft for WL500g. This soft allows to plug 2 CDMA modem and have internet VIA WIFI. There are 2 models that are supported by this software. AnydataADU-E100H and one more model. I use C-Montech CNU-550. Can anybody help to modify the 1.9.2.7-7f-USB-1.64.trx in a such way that my modem will work.
WL500GX recognizes the modem very well. Here is the log

I think you better ask the person who wrote this firmware. He speaks very good english.

[skier]

Hi Alien433'

Are you from from Czech republic? That script was written by very smart guy from Czech republic. But I cannot speak czech and cannot find any information on that forum. If you can help to readdress my question?

Thanks in Advance.

[engy]

Yes it's me. There is no driver for Cmotech CDMA modem in firmware, so modifying script will not solve your problem. I'm very short of time now, so I cann't google for driver for this modem. When I will have a driver, I can modify CDMA script. Try insmod acm module and list usb devices (/proc/bus/usb/devices)

cdma is now widely used worldwide.

it'll be extremely great if we can plug any cheap gprs/cdma/3g/nokia mobile phone into wl500g usb to have a real mobile hotspot.
coz, linksys wrt54g3g and its pccard is way too expensive...

It's already possible with koppel firmware but the modem must be equiped with pl2303 or ftdi convertor or you need a driver.

Hi Engy,

Please read below. I think I found what you need to modify the firmware.

Engy,

Here is the letter from the guy who changed the firmware for the similar CDMA mode.
Please read below. I trunslated it in English.

If you can change the Flash-file system for the Asus, you should put the following file from the attached archive to the folder
/usr/local/custom/

dial
dialup
dialup.chat
update

The file post-boot should be placed /usr/local/sbin/post-boot

p).

In the above discribed files you should change the "vendor=0x16D8
product=0x5533" to the ID of your modem, you can find out about the ID at the Widows Device manager.
In UI Adam Firmware you should choose 'dialup', this is the one where you can find login/password/dial number.

This is not a good usage of user dialup files. In attachement is a sample usage of user dialup files with koppel firmware. But this is not a driver for gprs device but only you tell to system to use usbserial module for your usb device with specified vid/pid.

[skier]

Engy,

Are you saying that this is not a good idea to use user dialup files this way?
And what every you attaching is the same thing from KOPPEL firmware.
Engy I will keep looking for Linux driver for my Modem, but I have no luck so far.
Would you still recommend to use it if I won't be able to find the driver?
How can I integrate it in WL500gx-1.9.2.7-7f-USB-1.64.trx?
Thanks in Advance for your advice.

In USB Connection select "User defined", upload my file and after reboot fill in connection paramaters. Some devices need special USB initializing and finalizing but usbserial driver is not able to do it, so legacy driver is a better solution.

Hi Engy,

Sorry for asking the stupid question. But I am very new in it. What kind of program will you use to create the .gz.tar archives? I opened the archive with
