Probably it is a bug in old 2.6.22 ALSA/OSS subsystem. Sound support has very low priority at this moment for us, so someone has to find/backport patches from kernel upstream.

Is there anyone to help me understand how to make bluetooth work (i.e. how to add/build necessary modules e.g. bluez.ko)?
EDIT: OK, probably not that easy, as I imagined - obviously :) so if you are not aware of easy solution just ignore my question

RT-N16 latest firmware I was loaded from wpte's web site, firmware at code.google.com/p/wl500g is only r1943 and no snd-usb-audio but wpte's site is r2xxx with snd-usb-audio.

Thanks, lly
Your firmware is excellent.
I'll wait for patch. :D

Usb device names on RT-N16 with Oleg

I've set up my RT-N16 with Oleg firmware and optware on a usb flashdrive which was detected as /dev/sda. My problem occurs when I plug in my external harddrive on the second usb port. On reboot, the external harddrive is detected as /dev/sda and the flashdrive is detected as /dev/sdb, causing optware and unslung to fail. I've tried editing /etc/fstab to use labels instead of device names but this seems to get overwritten on reboot. Can anyone tell me how device names are setup under Oleg firmware or how I can control the device names assigned to my usb drives?

you may use labels or uuids in fstab. To save fstab execute once:

Code:

echo /etc/fstab >> /usr/local/.files flashfs enabled

and every time after changes:

Code:

flashfs save && flashfs commit && reboot

here is a tutorial on basic setup: http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=10307

That's brilliant - thanks!
Just for my own understanding, do I need to

Code:

flashfs enabled && flashfs save && flashfs commit && reboot

because the filesystem is loaded from flash on boot? Also, what is /usr/local/.files used for?

it is needed to save flashfs to flash.

Code:

flashfs enabled

is enough to execute only once

in flashfs are stored contents of /usr/local + files listed in /usr/local/.files

Connecting 2.5" USB hard drive to a RT-N16

What sort of USB hard drives have people successfully connected to a RT-N16 without external power?

I have a 80GB Seagate IDE drive (ST980815) in a generic housing that works OK, but my 500GB WD Scorpio Blue (WD50000BEVT) in a Nexstar-3 housing connects sometimes but then flakes out.

It's not really adviced to use a harddrive without a PSU.
The PSU of the rt-n16 might not pull it off.
IF you want to use your current hdd, you might want to try a powered USB hub :)

The 80GB drive has been working OK for a couple months but the socket is damaged/loose so it disconnects when I bump it.

hmm... maybe you can bend the clamps with a screwdriver so it stays stuck:)

FTP Server

Does anyone noticed that PURE-FTP compared to other daemons is from far faster on transfer rates?

PURE-FTPD: 9-11MB/s

Transferred 76 Files (6,87 GB) in 12 minutes 11 seconds (9,61 MB/s)

VSFTPD: 6-7MB/s

PROFTPD: 5-6MB/s

Pure-FTPD sometimes does 10.8MB/s (10.5MB/s average) but most of the time doesn't reach 10MB/s, don't really understand why these increase of speed happen, but i think its related with some management with other services. (processor & memory usage)

Yes i know that, but whatever i use simple command-line switches or config file, speeds are the same. It has double performance than PROFTPD and almost the same than VSFTPD, that means much...

L2TP VPN (RT-N16)

What I wish to do A) connect from my iPad/Mac/anything over secure VPN connection to my home network so I am able to see my files and B) in ideal world to use my home network connections for secure browsing from remote connection.

I can do the A part of the job over OpenVPN (but only from computer), therefore I would like to switch to PPTP or L2TP which is supported by iOS.

I understood from wpte that rp-l2tp is implemented ( http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?p=234732 ). I tried to follow theMIROn's guidance ( http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?p=231202 ). But I am unable to connect from remote location to my router's l2tp VPN.

My current set-up / steps I've done:
/etc/l2tp/l2tp.conf

Code:

global load-handler "sync-pppd.so" load-handler "cmd.so" section sync-pppd lns-pppd-opts "file /opt/etc/ppp/options" section peer peer 0.0.0.0 mask 0 lns-handler sync-pppd section cmd

/opt/etc/ppp/options

Code:

noauth nomppe nomppc ktune default-asyncmap nopcomp noaccomp novj nobsdcomp nodeflate lcp-echo-interval 10 lcp-echo-failure 6 # vpn clients ip range and netmask 192.168.100.1:192.168.100.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 # vpn clients dns servers #ms-dns 192.168.100.1 #ms-dns 192.168.100.2 ip-up-script /opt/etc/ppp/ip-up ip-down-script /opt/etc/ppp/ip-down

/tmp/ppp/chap-secrets

Code:

#login server passwd IP addresses myuser * mypass *

/opt/etc/ppp/ip-up (chmod +x)

Code:

!/bin/sh /usr/bin/logger -t L2TP "client connected [$*]" iptables -I INPUT 1 -i $1 -j ACCEPT iptables -I FORWARD 1 -i $1 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $1 -j MASQUERADE

/opt/etc/ppp/ip-down (chmod +x)

Code:

#!/bin/sh /usr/bin/logger -t L2TP "client disconnected [$*]" iptables -D INPUT -i $1 -j ACCEPT iptables -D FORWARD -i $1 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o $1 -j MASQUERADE

/usr/local/sbin/post-firewall

Code:

#!/bin/sh #L2TP /usr/bin/logger -t L2TP "allow incoming connections [$*]" iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -D INPUT -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m udp --dport 1701 -j ACCEPT #OpenVPN access from WAN iptables -D INPUT -j DROP iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 1194 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i vlan1 -p udp --dport 1194 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.1:1194 iptables -A INPUT -j DROP iptables -I INPUT -i tun0 -j ACCEPT iptables -I FORWARD -i tun0 -j ACCEPT iptables -I FORWARD -o tun0 -j ACCEPT iptables -I OUTPUT -o tun0 -j ACCEPT #FTP iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 55000:60000 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i vlan1 -p tcp --dport 55000:60000 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.1

/usr/local/sbin/post-boot

Code:

#!/bin/sh /usr/bin/logger -t L2TP "start serving connections [$*]" # make sure configs above do exist l2tpd

/usr/local/.files

Code:

/etc/fstab /usr/local/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /tmp/etc/passwd /tmp/etc/group /tmp/ppp/chap-secrets /tmp/etc/l2tp/l2tp.conf

I think (in case I am not totally of topic and l2tp is not meant for this purpose) my weak point is post-firewall as I am total noob in iptables and honestly I don't understand it.
Please let me know if I should attach any logs that could help you help me. I am not asking for solution (although I would not say no :)), a hint with direction would be very appreciated - I am happy to learn something.
