I suspect it's related to your network topology again. Other BT peers can't connecto to your wl700g through the linksys router. Because of this your download speed will be throttled back. You will need to configure your linksys router to forward your BT port to the wl700g.Quote:

Hi !
I thank you Kfurge (and everyone else who is contributing) for the effort your are doing to the ASUS. I just downloaded and installed your latest 1.0.7.8-firmware. Everything seems to be working nicely, except that telneted into the router and trying to issue the command 'ipkg update' gives me this error:
"
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/op...le/Packages.gz
wget: missing URL
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...
Try `wget --help' for more options.
An error ocurred, return value: 1.
Collected errors:

/cross/stable/Packages.gz'
WARNING: Unable to remove temporary directory: : No such file or directory"
So i figured there were some error with the wget and tried running the command 'ipkg install wget' and got this message:
"Package wget (1.10.2-4) installed in /opt/ is up to date.
Nothing to be done
Successfully terminated.
WARNING: Unable to remove temporary directory: : No such file or directory"
So it seems to be latest wget already installed with your firmware, but what about the error I receive trying to issue the command 'ipkg update" ? What does this mean "WARNING: Unable to remove temporary directory: : No such file or directory" - where is this temp directory ?
Thanks,
Hytekk
I have this also when I do this as non-root user.Quote:

Thanks for your reply mumsoft !
I have tried that and when i read your answer i even resetted by asus to the default settings. After that i logged in as admin with the pw admin and i still get the same error:

My guess: KC Furge has used root as user, not admin. I think that you use password based access, that is, have no other users than admin, which you also use for the web interface.Quote:

This will probably do it.

Hi again and thanks for your quick response ! :)
I did what u told me to and activated userbased passwords, created a user called hytekk with a password, then telneted into the router and logged on as user hytekk. And as u can see i then issued the following commands - but still i get the same error. (The directory BACKUP is a directory i created just to play around with chown/chmod-settings, figuring that that might cause the problem.

I think you have something very fundamentally broken. I tested package update and add, as root, in both UBSA and PBSA modes. Shouldn't matter either way as root is always present in /etc/passwd regardless of the mode.Quote:

Looks good, you should do a tutorial on that.
It's actually pretty simple, as written in kfurge's tutorial.Quote:

4# Type "nvram set kc_bt_port=XXXXX"
5# Type "nvram commit"
Am I missing something?
Kfurge, should I be able to externally telnet to the router if I enable these settings? (From your setup guide).
To allow ssh access from the WAN (external) interface
1. Telnet or ssh to the router
2. Gain root access
3. Type "nvram set kc_ssh_wan_access=Yes"
4. Type "nvram commit"
5. Restart the router
I tried the commands above multiple times and keep getting:
Connecting To <WAN IP address>...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed
No. You can only access the router via SSH (port 22), not telnet (port 23). Telnet is open on the LAN interface only.Quote:

Hm, I forgot about the prompt where it asks you whether to overwrite or use existing config. I wasn't sure what to do, so I just kept the old file.
I really am not a Linux expert, but the fault seems to be in the "ipkg install mc" command, it terminates with error, the rest seems fine:Quote:

I've also installed 1.0.7.8 after making a mistake in my old rc.local with the 1.0.4.6 kfurge firmware.
Thanks Kfurge for that last change, it saved my day.
Now having got everything running for a couple of weeks now, I've played with MLdonkey and found it's performance less than satisfactory. I've now settled on Transmission which works very well.
I have only one problem at this stage and that is that ever since upgrading to 1.0.7.8, my USB connected Canon MP780 printer is printing extremely slowly. For example, the test page from WinXP takes about 10 minutes to print. If I try to print anything with any images on it, it's much worse. I note that top reports that most of the time there is at most 2MB of free memory.
I also note that upnp seems to have a much higher "time" than anything else, and seems to be using more CPU than anything else. I have no other upnp devices on the LAN.
A picture of the router running top shows this "higher time":
Attachment 2523
Any suggestions? How can I disable upnp so that it isn't running; I want to experiment on what might be slowing the box down.
Thanks

Hi at all,
I just installed this great firmware and while finetuning it I made a non reproducable mistake :(
After rebooting I tried to login via telnet and I got:
login: cannot run /opt/bin/bash: No such file or directory
SSH login wont work also.
I installed the software again with the Asus Firmware Restoration Tool 'cause I hoped everything would be resetted but this also did not help.
Who can help me with this ?
Regards,
Extreme
Make sure to flash the latest image from here:Quote:

Press and hold the copy button when the ready light blinks three times until it stops blinking. This will bypass any of your customizations and should allow the router to boot.

KFURGE.. I have never been able to add a user thru the web interface using any of your custom firmware.. is it a problem on my router ??
I use the web interface and it allows me to change the setting to user based access.. but then when I click on add user.. it allows me to enter username and password etc.. but when I click on apply.. it always fails and a error box pops up.. Somehow this problem goes away when I use the Asus Firmware..(both 4.6 and 7.8)..
Why could this be happening??
Hi kfurge,
thx for your hint -I did not manage to do it this way but found another:
after installing the original firmware all looks fine again.
Now - of course - I'll install yours again :)
Best regards and keep the good work up,
Extreme
Hi again,
I posted recently regarding issues with very slow printing. Given the lack of response I'm guessing that others aren't having the same problems, so I've started looking some more on my own.
My latest step has been to install the ASUS 1.0.7.8 firmware, thus losing all of the niceties of the KFurge (02) customisations.
Whilst I haven't tested the printing yet, the first thing I've noticed is that the overall performance of the box has improved dramatically. Browsing the internet is far more responsive. I ran the top command (not the nice one that kfurge provided unfortunately), and noted that the available memory was about 3.5MB. top didn't report the process names, which was a pain, so I don't know how much CPU upnp is using.
Will continue looking, though any suggestions are welcome. If printing works OK tonight, I'll put the KFurge version back in without any additional packages to see what happens then.
eznet
Maybe you should copy your /opt to /shares/MYVOLUME1/opt, as described here:Quote:

I have made and deleted a user yesterday without a problem. It also lets me specify to which shares the new user has access.

Did you have a look here?Quote:

I don't use a printer with the asus, but my the overall performance with the custom firmware is far better than in the 1.0.4.6 times.
Also I don't have UPNP running. Don't need it.
Marc
Works OK on my router.Quote:

No thanks to Kfurge.
i don't think that is the problem Marc.. I had covered that step when I followed the instructions on that website when I upgraded from 1.0.4.8 to 1.0.7.8..
Like I said.. I've had that problem even when I had the custom 1.0.4.6
It's weird. But you do have a work-around: install the original Asus firmware, create shares & users like you wish, install the custom firmware. Then you have both, although you won't be able to create another user.Quote:

Also, if you create a superfluous testuser with the original firmware, are you able to delete it with the custom firmware?
Do you have similar passwd files as I have:
If I create a user, the /shares/MYVOLUME1/__pdc/passwd file is altered, and that is reflected in /tmp/passwd and /etc/passwd that are only links.Quote:
[marc@Sneeuwwitje home]$ ls -all /etc/passwd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Dec 31 2001 /etc/passwd -> /tmp/passwd
[marc@Sneeuwwitje home]$ ls -all /tmp/passwd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Mar 2 13:10 /tmp/passwd -> /shares/MYVOLUME1/__pdc/passwd
Happy debugging :o
Marc
hey thanks buddy!.. I think that worked.. I installed the factory firmware.. created the users.. and then I over-wrote it with the custom firmware..and then i was able to manipulate the users.. like add and delete..
Thanks a bunch for your help!!.. regards..
now that I have a username with full access.. when I log in from terminal services.. I can only log in as root.. and not with the username and password that I created... Is that normal???
Ha, that's very nice to hear. I was just guessing for you, only if I guess for myself, it never helps.Quote:

No. But (again) what is the message? Did you create a home directory for that user? Is that reflected in /etc/passwd? What happens, if you do, after logging in as root:Quote:

No, I hadn't seen the response there. I have been watching it but obviously not actively enough.Quote:

Thanks though.
Ok, so I haven't fixed the original problem. I still don't know why the default print deamon is performing so badly with 1.0.7.8, but I can report that after an hours work with the latest version of CUPS (thanks for the suggestion KFurge), I now have it running, and printing at speeds that are more than satisfactory.
The only thing I haven't worked out yet with CUPS is how to access the web interface from the local LAN without first having to establish an SSL connection via PUTTY and tunnelling in.
Printing works a treat. When I get a chance in the next week, I'll write up the steps I took and add them to another thread on this forum that has a great deal of discussion about getting CUPS running.
Thanks for your help.
