[HowTo] Install and configure Oleg's firmware

Hey guys,

Can someone please help with gcc for oleg WL500gpv2-1.9.2.7-10. I've been trying to find something but without success.

Thanks

LE: "ipkg install buildroot" solved the issue

Hi Wengi. I've realized that the new firmware has changed the name of the disks and maybe this is the problem of the old configuration that is not working. When i upgraded the firmware i noticed that the shared disks where not any more disc_2 or disc_3 but thay changed in disca_2 and disca_3. Now, after formatting and partitioning (with ecaddict tutorial) the result of df is

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 4608 4608 0 100% /
devfs 14524 4 14520 0% /dev
tmpfs 14524 220 14304 2% /tmp
/dev/discs/disca/part3
479478560 32812 455471820 0% /tmp/mnt/disca_3
/dev/discs/disca/part2
987032 16412 921272 2% /tmp/mnt/disca_2

Looking at your tutorial in the scripts you refer to disc not to disca in edit of fstab and in other places

#device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part2 /opt ext3 rw,noatime 1 1
/dev/discs/disc0/part3 /tmp/harddisk ext3 rw,noatime 1 1

..can be this the problem? Was the firmware to make this change or was my fault?

rtn firmware with kernel 2.6 instead of kernel 2.4 uses disca, discb etc.
so no it's not your fault, but it's easy to change in fstab.

added this to the news.
Will update the tut later.

thanks for the hint

Hi Wengi, i reconfigured everyting with this new information and transmission worked perfectly. After i tried to install Samba3 following this instructions
killall smbd nmbd
cd /opt/etc/samba && [ ! -f smb.conf.raas ] && cp smb.conf smb.conf.raas
ipkg remove samba2
ipkg install samba samba3-swat
sed -i 's/samba_active=0/samba_active=1/' /opt/etc/init.d/S08samba
cd /mnt && wget -O smb.tar.gz "http://wl500g.info/attachment.php?attachmentid=6455&d=1274467707" && cd / && tar -xvzf /mnt/smb.tar.gz
/opt/etc/init.d/S08samba start
/bin/ps | grep smbd
but now i cannot see the HD from the win PC connected to the router. But the important is that the previous error was solved! I'll do again the procedure avoidind the last step of samba 3 and living the origional samba from the router.

This thread makes everything seem very easy... thank you so much for sharing this tutorial!

I'm in the process of installing the Oleg firmware on my WL-500gP router. Nonetheless, I would like to make sure that I will be able to revert to the original Asus firmware anytime.

Can you please tell me if it is possible to move from Oleg to Original Asus firmware? And if so, which are the steps for that process?

Wengi, sorry but you wrote :"you have to replace all occurances of "disc" with "disca" in this tutorial!!!!
The correct should be "disc0" with "disca"
Is what i've done and is working

Torrent is starting and working but i can't access to my HD from my PC. I try before with integrated samba (not working). After i followed your tutorial for IPKG samba but at the end i couldn't access to configuration port 901 from web interface. So i tryed to follow the Start samba with xinetd (changing disc0 with diska when nedeed) but at the end of "echo "/etc/smb.conf" >> /usr/local/.files && flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable" i get the following error tar: /etc/smb.conf: No such file or directory
tar: /etc/smb.conf: No such file or directory
tar: /etc/smb.conf: No such file or directory
tar: error exit delayed from previous errors
Can you please help me to fix this problems?
Thank you

Ups :-(

Regarding samba i have no idea at the moment. Sorry.
I can not test it because i do not have any asus routers any more...

You can easly go from Oleg firmware to the original one (download the file from the ASUS support page http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireles...mium/#download) in the Firmware Update page of the Oleg web-page in system setup.

Does anybody have the ZTE MF820 working?

I have the newest firmware from googlecode and it can find the modem perfectly.

I just can't get it to connect to the internet.

It's saying that the script has failed in the usb ppp log.

Can anybody give me an idea on where to fix it?

Thanks anyways for the nice piece of software and the nice forum. :)

My transmission-daemon stopped working after I updated firmware and ipkg.
It runs only with

Code:

/opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon start

after reboot,it does not start automatically.
I tried

Code:

flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable && reboot

but got nothing.So far got no problems with this.
asus 500gp v2

Code:

flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable && reboot

has gone too far imho...
do you know what you do with this? you save the current state of the flashfs. My point is, you didn't change anything on your flashfs... you only updated your optware, on your harddrive.
So remember:

Code:

reboot

will do the trick just fine to restart your router:D

anyway, what version are you running?

Quote:

ipkg list_installed | grep transmission

transmission 2.42-1 I think?
I'm not sure since when you've been using the setup of wengi... transmission has been updated to a whole new version since... like 2 years back or so.
which means: different configuration file.

what happens when you execute:

Quote:

/opt/bin/transmission-daemon -fg /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config

where /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config is the configuration folder
it should give us some information on what transmission doesn't like:)

No,I changed that - here is my fstab

Code:

ce Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/discs/disca/part1 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/discs/disca/part2 /opt ext3 rw,noatime 1 1 /dev/discs/disca/part3 /tmp/harddisk ext3 rw,noatime 1 1

Allready tried reinstalling transmision,and still not working.

And I was udpating since install,but only ipkg,not a firmware.
As for rebooting,since reboot give me nothing ,tried this..
And something more,I there is no errors when starting daemon.

Mod: please don't quote a giant piece of text from the previous post, thanks

Did you change also in the swap "mkswap /dev/discs/disc0/part1
swapon /dev/discs/disc0/part1" ???
If this is not the problem try to put everything like it was before upgrading the firmware (change again fstab to disc0) and then install this version of firmware 1.9.2.7-d-r2624 that uses kernel 2.4.
If this doesn't work i'll tell you how i fixed this problem!!
