alpha rt-n firmware releases
I already had a post with firmware releases from http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/
but I tought that a new thread would be easier to find:)
You can look through the changes in svn via this link: http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/sour.../branches/rt-n

Also there is a download source from the Russian forum: ftp://core.dumped.ru/rt-n/
it contains both firmware (RT-N16 and RT-N12) and additional modules

so the list (which is updating):
[B]From now on I can host the firmware on my website again.
All the RT-N models: http://wpte.kicks-ass.net/downloads/...s/1.9.2.7-rtn/ also the wl models are available here with kernel 2.6
The old kernel 2.4 wl models: http://wpte.kicks-ass.net/downloads/...lys/1.9.2.7-d/

I don't build as regular as the nightly builds on ftp://core.dumped.ru/rt-n/ so keep in mind that you could download from there as well (with probably newer versions)
or try my test nightly builds: http://wpte.kicks-ass.net/downloads/...ware/Nightlys/ (I'm not promising I can build every night tho)

basic things you need to know about this firmware:
- This firmware is still in alpha state, so it's experimental
- it's pretty stable so far for me:p
- wireless works in r1200 and higher for non-encrypted, WEP and WPA-AES encryption. WPA2 works since r1484
- Back up your flasfs image before flashing the firmware. This will be ereased while flashing (in newer versions not likely, but still, it's always good to have a backup). After the flashing is complete you may restore the saved flashfs and everything should work again.
- setting files from other router models can not be uploaded directly to the rt-n16, it's better to manually set up the webconfig
- harddisks are not listed as /dev/discs/disc0... instead they are listed with character in alphabetic order: /dev/discs/disca. so mind that when setting up fstab;)
- webcams don't work yet
- printers should work from r1393
problems you've found can be posted in the general firmware thread: http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=18004
please post only real problems like "my router restarts every 5 minutes" or something like that
Ofcourse mind the simple rules of describing a problem like that, to make it easier for the developers to fix it:)
- Describe the problem clearly
- Tell how you could possibly reproduce the same problems again.
- If you've found a way to fix the problem, please write how
general problems like "hey my harddrive doesn't mount" or "hey what settings should I use?" can be posted here:D

that was all I guess:D

Would you recommend using a swap-partition? I think the 128 megs of ram should be enough or is there any advantage of having additional space for swapping?

Yes, swap is advised, since during something like file transfers the cache can become quite big. And with a little swap extra you'll be sure everything stays stable;)
I haven't seen it go higher than 2MB tho, but I had some crashes without swap on dd-wrt, so that's why I use swap now;)

In this case, i'll use the swap. Thanks

firmware list updated with r1256
in the rt-n merge, I think "accidently" (not sure:p might be testing/fixing) the printing spooling service was included.

I excluded LPRNG in this build since it would give compiler errors

you tested speeds ?

what are the speeds on wireless N ( with wpa-aes) ?
what about samba / ftp -> up/ down speeds ?
wired speeds ?

samba:
up 8.45MB/s
down 6.65MB/s

with ftp it's always a bit slow somehow, but I guess that's not because the router can't handle it.
hggomes has some different results:

Quote:

FTP: D: 6.2MB/s U:8.2MB/s | D(SSL): 2.8MB/s U(SSL): 3.6MB/s
SAMBA: D: 6.6MB/s D: 6.4MB/s

With wifi, I'm not sure I can give you a real answer since my all the wlan cards I have are not that good:p
I don't have any trouble reaching something like 10MB/s tho:)

I have an HDD My Book World 2 Western Digital 2TB with 10/100/1000 ethernet interface.
I tried to mount this hdd but is seams that the RT-N16 kernel does not have support for ethernet mount.

I would appreciate it if someone could help me add in kernel 2.6 the smbfs module.

My hdd don't have any LAN connections, they are just ordinary USB drives:p

I can try to compile the CIFS kernel modules in the firmware next time?
it should support samba as well;)

Many thanks,

I will wait the next version of firmware.
You have any idea how long I have to wait?

I have them ready now
I've build the modules straight into the kernel itself, so they're loaded up automatically I think:p
haven't try them out yet

nah, you should flash back to r1262 for now
I'll compile the modules seperately and put them up for download:)

usually your settings are, but the flashfs is not saved.
/opt is ofcourse still save;)

you can also use the firmware recovery utility from asus if you want
tftp is standard not activated in modern windows os...
http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_I...ntent=download
you can download it under utilities... doesn't work on linux btw.

Did you chmod them?

Quote:

chmod +x /opt/modules/smbfs.ko
chmod +x /opt/modules/cifs.ko

they load up fine here.

I'm able to mount something with smbmount
dunno if you use that?:)

thx
it's working with smbmount
with the last firmware I used mount.cifs
and I didn't know about chmod

Still I do not understand why when I use
mount tab
smb tab
in the commands list doesn't apear mount.cifs and smbfs

I modified the file "/usr/local/sbin/post-mount" but the automount is not working.

#! /bin/sh
/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung start
insmod /opt/modules/smbfs.ko
sleep 6
smbmount //192.168.109.130/torrent /opt/torrent/ -o username=Foxem,password=XXXX

Then I created in /opt/etc/init.d/S10smbfs

insmod /opt/modules/smbfs.ko
sleep 6
smbmount //192.168.109.130/torrent /opt/torrent/ -o username=Foxem,password=XXXX

could you please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Sorry, I'm not well known with network share mounting

perhaps you could do the module loading before rc.unslung start?:confused:

ah yes ofcourse!:D (silly me)
that's because it's not located in the firmware

Did the firewall-rules move somewhere else? I tried to open a port for ssh, but no matter what i write into the post-firewall, i can't get a connection to the router from the internet. A portforwarding to my laptop i set up in the web-if for another service does work, but doesn't show up in the post-firewall like it used to on the wl500w.

kind regards

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT (22 default port, change it if you use other)

iptables -L -n to see the applied rules INPUT chain. (1st chain)

Ok, perhaps i shouldn't mess with the firewall at 2 o'clock in the morning and not look at it again. -.-

A small typo later and it works, thank you

It is a ugly feature of obsolete kernel+Broadcom SDK. Unfortunately, Broadcom ignore anybody who wasn't buy their SDK.
Moreover, even DD-WRT team has some kind of full access this SDK, they can't (or don't want) to fix it.

It is accel-pptp daemon kernel threads, probably "top" shows incorrect status.
