I just replaced my HDD, and installed all from the beginning following wengi's great tutorial.
Can I upgrade only the Asus firmware and still continue using my new /opt and all ipkg installed packages ?
Thanks

yes you can still use the ipkg packages, since they use their own uclibc library.Quote:

Hi, i still using the old OLEG firmware (pre10 version), i've tried 2 times the "new" firmware from http://code.google.com/p/wl500g and i found some issues in iptables, some rules were not applied, some other were (oleg OLEG version worked fine) but that was along time ago. So i decided today to install the R740 version that was available to download and the first thing i noticed was that the web enviroment its constantly failing "web page not found" when i travel over the web interface menus it shows many time that message, i've tried another computer and the same happen, i've used again the old OLEG version and it's all working fine, so i gave up from the new fw version again :(
Update: With Mozilla Firefox all works fine, with IE8 shows the "web page error", but with old OLEG it doesn't? Any explanation for this? Anyone noticed the same?
Didn't you forget about browser cache clearing?Quote:

Hi, offcourse not, i've tried that and even better. I've used IE8 from other machine and the same happen, but only with your fw version. I can't understand why. Can you test it with IE8 please? Browse all menus please.Quote:

http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/source/list
I mean... rapid changes on the changes list:p
Unfortunately, it is not usable for end-users yet :( Too many TODO's and manual corrections after startup.Quote:

ah well, it does sound a bit closer to completion.Quote:

I'd say keep the good work up, and if there is anything to test I'd be happy to do so;)
It is not a big secret now, that DD-WRT team got somewhere broadcom wl sources (not last version, but complete bundle). Probably, they sign NDA with Broadcom.Quote:

imo the original asus fw binaries perform better than the dd-wrt ones, so I guess it'll be fine;)Quote:
