Sorry, I didn't look at the changes you made. It is a feature of an old ASUS code.

You mean the width and height determination logic in the javascript part?
I wasn't really sure what to do with it, so I left it that way:o

I would like to announce mini roadmap for our firmwares:
- since 1.9.2.7-d-r2174 we has no plans to implement new features for routers with 4Mb flash due to absence of room in it. But bugfixes and urgent network-related patches will be applied.
- kernel 2.4 based branch still be active for WL500gP V1/V2, WL500W:
  - samba 3.0
  - mini-upnp
  - QoS web-UI(maybe)
  - etc.
- most activity planned in kernel 2.6.22 based rtn branch

I think ipv6 might be broken

ipv6 on the rt-n16 works, I can ping etc.
ipv6 on my computers works as well... but I cannot ping, I can only resolve ipv6 addresses:confused: an ipv6 address is leased to all the computers tho

Very strange. Nothing was changed in radvd/IPv6 config. Moreover, it works for me (he.net tunnel). Can you provide any details?

is it possbile to add alsa support for usb audio

I was trying to get usb audio working on 2174 fw so that I can play mp3 with mpd and iphone client, but the oss driver don't seems to work with my USB sound dongle correctly. Is it possible to to provide alsa sound module?

alsa drivers aren't included into 2.4 kernels, you can download & try to compile it yourself from http://alsa-project.org/

I have never done this before but I am willing to learn and start doing it. Can you give me some pointers how to setup the compilation environment for module compilation?

It is inside kernel - under Documentation/ subdirectory. Additional materials about kernel modules you can find in internet. Toolchain starting point is http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/wiki...CustomFirmware and knowledge of gcc & binutils will be helpful.

Hi!

I see there is experimental version of rtn fw for wl500gp-v1 and tried to flash it, but router doesn't respond afterwards (tftp recovery without problem).

Is there any special prerequisite for using this fw? more ram, changed cfe ?

rgds,

Always write exact version you tried!

Generally, no special prerequisites, but builds simply may have bugs. For example, akbor
experience problems with rtn revisions 2322-2329 on WL500W, see issue 171

Hi!

version was 2340 from today.

Maybe fw hangs because I don't have orig WLAN card in the router atm?
But other fw just skip loading module and act as router ...

At least it boots okay on my WL500gpV1. Exact root of problem can be found on serial console only.

I was thinking about oleg and USBoIP since things like sane don't work that fast... only 1 A4 sheet in 5 minutes on 300dpi:p
So I guess usb over ip is a lot faster.

obviously you got the fantastic closed source solutions: http://usb-server.com/index.html
but I've also found an opensource one with beta support for windows (so it's cross platform)

I must admit that the files look out of date, but on the svn you can see that the last commit was on 8-2-2010 which is quite fair.

also, it looks quite easy to compile:D

what do you think?
I'm going to try it out:)

is the RTN build for WL500W on core.dumped.ru based on 2.6 kernel? i.e. WL500W-1.9.2.7-rtn-r23.trx.gz

Are they stable enough for home 24x7 usage? :eek:

do you mean the following commands?

$ cd /whatever-you-want/broadcom/src/1.9.2.7-d
$ make kernel
$ make

I have run them already and there were no error...:confused:

I checked that the "/home/wchan/wl500w/broadcom/src/linux/linux-2.4.37.10/include/asm" is missing. should I manually create a symbolic link to asm-mips? :confused:

Something goes wrong on your host env. This link should be created automatically by kernel's Makefile. Also check .config file presence in kernel directory.

I did the symbolic link then try the make kernal again. Now I got this error and I am completely lost.

should I try the RTN version of wl500w instead? Does RTN version has better support for usb sound?

Generally - no, since 2.6.22 is very old kernel and usb sound support on router is not our primary task. Of course, some parts of sound subsystem definitely newer in 2.6.
26-11-2010, 17:54

back to the compilation then... how do I proceed? Any clue?

Unless you get some knowledge about Makefiles & linux kernel , you can't proceed. ".config" you mentioned are totally different. kernel's default config stored in src/linux/linux/arch/mips/defconfig-bcm947xx and later copied to src/linux/linux/.config

Please read info at http://wl500g.googlecode.com/ - it's beta.

If someone can describe to you all difference between 2.4 & 2.6 kernels in a few words, he(she) will be true hero.

I think you've gotten me wrong. I just want to know the difference between the rtn and the d build of wl500w. Not the difference between the two kernel version. The components that concerns me are the webcam support and wireless stability.

As you can read in forum, wireless driver provided by Broadcom in binary blob, so we can't modify it.
Single major difference between rtn & d branches is ... kernel 2.6. Key points is here - http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/wiki/News

this sounds very interesting. I was looking for such sw two years ago for the MGB100 but couldn't find anything free (no, there was one abandoned version in japan); still was hopeing that AVM would release/leak the code for the fritzbox

So, I was experimenting to link httpd with mini-lzo.
http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/#minilzo

it only adds around ~5kb to the binary, while it can decompress webpages.
If we pre-compress the webpages, it's possible to save around 40-50% of the total size, which is around 300kb.

good idea?:D

Since webpages resides on root filesystem(squashfs) which already has lzma compression support, IMHO it will take no effect.

Hey, I'm using the new firmware, with a WL500GPv2.
I was wondering if it would be possible to see a list of all attached devices.
I saw the DHCP leases, where you find a MAC address an IP and some host name.
When you click at wireless, you see (I think) the devices attached, but just with MAC address. Could it be possible to also show the hostname and IP?

Also, another question, if I would like to packet sniff everything what goes through the router (so LAN & WAN), what would be the best way to do this? (If possible of course)

Many thanks for this great firmware!

For snifing try t-shark, for a client-list install net-tools (then use "arp")
