Erasing the USB disk, copying the new FS and reinstalling all additional software would be a lot of work :-(

P.S. I know this is an alpha release, but sometime I will have to upgrade...

I don´t know if it´s the best way to upgrade, but I do:
1. make a complete backup of my usb stick
2. without putting the stick back into the wl-500g make the firmware upgrade
3. reboot and then put the stick back into the wl-500g
4. copy the files to the stick as in Oleg´s instuctions
5. re-enable booting from usb stick
All this is a matter of minutes and all settings (on the stick) are preserved.

It looks like my problem with long write failures is over:)

yes, exactly. There is no need to reinstall anything - changed files would be overwrited with newer.

852 is included in the firmware. You've to configure samba codepages manually (these lines are used for Russian):

Code:

nvram set usb_smbcpage_x=866 nvram set usb_smbcset_x=1251 nvram commit

Use search - there is a list on the MS site with the list of codepages.

Hi Oleg!

Once more problem, my plugged pendrive is unwriteable, I just can copy the files from pendrive to the PC, reverse isn't possible...
The Samba hidden read-write share is set "yes".

THX!

FAT32...and have another problem, since I changed the codepage, and charset settings, then the router is not synchronizing to the time server :(

"...Jan 1 01:00:20 dnsmasq[48]: using nameserver 82.144.161.11#53
Jan 1 01:00:20 dnsmasq[48]: using nameserver 82.144.160.179#53
Jan 1 01:00:21 PPPoE: connect to ISP"

...and that's all...

Heureka!

I did found the correct commandlines for my codepage-problem on another topic (http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=2376)

The correct hungarian codepage configuration is here:

nvram set usb_vfat_options=codepage=852,iocharset=cp852
nvram set usb_smbcpage_x=852
nvram set usb_smbcset_x=852
nvram commit

But then my pendrive is unwriteable in the future too, so I still need solving to my problem yet.
THX, and sorry for some unnecessary notes...

have you added a user to samba ?

Or try "force user" in smb.conf:

[harddisk]
path = /tmp/harddisk
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
force user = admin

Of course!
[share]
path = /tmp/harddisk
[share$]
path = /tmp/harddisk
writable = yes
force user = (my login)
browseble = yes

Hello

After I upgrade my AP to the 6c-pre5, I have the problem that I can`t login over the webinterface. From all Networks (Wan, Lan, Wireless) I become the message "Connection refused".
All other functions, routing, etc. are working.
Somebody an idea to reactivate the webinterface? Or must I try? :rolleyes:

smbd is started 3 times?

After installing 6c-pre5 I followed the steps at macsat again for configuring ipkg and samba. After a lot of fiddling I can't find it. The smbd process is started 3 times, but which script could do this besides /etc/init.d/S97Samba or tmp/local/sbin/post-boot ??

DSL fixed

Thanks to Oleg, my Microsoft MN-700 has been running the WL-500g firmware for a few months.

With 1.9.2.7-6b, I started having a problem establishing and maintaining a PPOE DSL connection. I think it may have been SBC trying to knock the router off because tech support gave me a lecture about the router when I called about the problem. When I bypassed the router and used XP's native PPOE connection, I didn't have any problems connecting and maintaining.

That said, I've been running 6c-pre5 with 48 hours uptime, and no connection problems.

I reset the complete AP and upgrade the fimeware again. Then all works.

Thanks for the SNMP Support @ Oleg
