[HowTo] Install and configure Oleg's firmware

Recently I updated my Asus WL-500gP with a new WL-500W.
I updated from Oleg's FW 1.9.2.7-8 to 1.9.2.7-10.
Everything works fine (same HDD as before with /opt on it), but I'm in doubt about a couple of things. I used vsftp and samba2 (s2 is running under xinetd) installed with ipkg.
Latest Oleg's firmware has vsftp on it and a Samba version that can be handled by Microsoft Vista.

Can I remove ipkg installed software and use the built in modules ?
Is there a way to use actual cfg files for vsftp and samba2 with built in modules ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi !

bash depend on libiconv library, you must install it

ipkg install libiconv

I have a WL520GU. How would I allow remote access to the UI ? I would think its related to SNMP - but totally at a loss about how to go about it. Does anyone know how to allow remote management to my WL520GU access so a technician can debug why my VOip is not working behind it ?
Thanks!

Start from this topic (skip transmission part).
Click for transmission 1.3+ tutorial.

It doesn't work. I've noticed that the current transmission version is 1.42b, does it matter?

Is transmission-daemon running (e.g. top command)?
Have you fallowed all steps in this post?
How link you are trying to open looks like?

Are you looking to install the version with clutch ( JavaScript, Ajax) version 1.41 or the older 1.32 version?

I just want a version that works, the available one is 1.4b
