New firmware which contains bugfixes for the following problems:
- WebCam, Ftp, Samba server does not work in 1.7.5.9-1 due to several incompatibilities between official/custom firmwares
- DNS proxy rejects queries after PPPoE/PPTP reconnection
- Custom firmware configuration for the WAN iface was not set in PPPoE mode
available for download.
Rootfs and sources are available here.
Also, I've added tips and tricks section here . Read them also. :)
okay webcam and ftp is working! thx oleg!
The problem with VPN connections also seems to be fixed.
Any clue about what was wrong?
I've no idea. :) The only thing which is relevant is the DNS, but that's looks strange.
Just one question?
Which stuff is better to place in pre-boot script, and which in post-boot??
And one more choice is to modify /usr/local/init/functions
Could give me some tips?
THX
The Afina one still doesn't work with CR2, but the Logitech one now works. Thanks.
BTW the webcam capability never works on me when connecting from Internet, for either the official firmware or the hacked ones (garbage text code was shown instead). Any idea?
I installed 1.7.5.9-2 and followed Oleg's instructions how to change the smb.conf file. I changed the working group so I see the share in my network. However I cannot write to this share. After loading the samba drivers also i am prohibited to upload to the USB dongle via FTP.
Another question I have; I added some commands in the post-boot file, however I have the feeling the commands are not executed sequencially, I think the commands are executed in parallel. When I combine the commands in a single script and execute the script from the post-boot file everything works fine.
use the search, a workaround is availableQuote:

Did anyone have the client mode working in this firm.
I'm struggeling for some time now. I'm trying to connect to a linksys WRT54G
net setup
ADSL (192.168.1.254) - Linksys (192.168.0.1)-Asus(client mode 192.168.0.10) - PC (192.168.0.30)
I used nvram set 13_x_ClientMode=1 + commit.
In terminal I do a
route add default gw 192.168.0.1 eth2
and a echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
After that I can ping the AP from the ASUS, and have from the asus box connections to the net
Now, when I try to connect from my PC, I cannot ping the linksys, not any other ip (exept the asus). So somehow the Asus does not forward my requests.
Suggestios, am I'm forgetting something?
That's not correct setting. You should change the IP address of your PC to different subnet otherwise routing can't work (I suppose you have the same mask for all interfaces 255.255.255.0). Try 192.168.2.x.Quote:

You don't need to set the routing using Telnet anymore. Just change WAN parameters in web configurator - please note the WAN interface is exchanged with WLAN in Client mode. It works fine including DHCP support - it is possible to perform release / renew online. :)Quote:

Did you use share$ for writing?Quote:

Seems you're trying to setup this in bridging mode (no routing, etc). You should then switch wl500g to access point mode in addition to activating client mode. No other manual modifications required.Quote:

Can these be combined???

Yes, it should work. Have you switched it to Client mode using nvram commands?
Also, WPA is not supported in client mode.
Hey, you're really quick, thanks for the answer! Yes I did, it works in Nat mode (home gateway), but not in accesspoint mode. I telnet in the asus, it pings both ways (to wireless and to wired as well), but no ping from my lan to the accesspoint. Seems like no bridging...
Have you tried "wet" mode (13_x_ClientMode=2)?
No, I haven't, I'm going to try it right now. Actually, what's this WET mode?
who knows. :) Actually this is a client mode with multicast support or something like this. There is no docs available.
Whohooo, it works! :) :) :) This WET mode helped, I can see all the Mac addresses behind my client on the AP! Do you know what's the max number of macs I can add in the Wireless Access control?
Its perfect now, the only thing I miss is SNMP support, so I could collect perf data with MRTG. What should I add to Your firmware? Is it possible yet?
Thank you again for your help and especially for your firmware, I'm eagerly awaiting for new versions... ;)

Full linux support from the usb drive should also be cool (I have a 40Gb HD connected on the USB so that's enough space :D). I only don't know how to install linux on it because of the limitations of the firmware. I can't extract the rootfs on the router :( Who can help me with that? And how to install some compilers on the new system since the firmware has completely no compiler. This is usefull to install an irc server (if possible).
Dear Oleg,
I have taken 1.7.5.9 yet, for configuring my usb disk as samba share,
but without success. I have configured my /etc/hosts correctly, but in /var/log/smb is the following recorded:
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host .
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host .
No interface found for address 68.51.191.42
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host.
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host .
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host .
No interface found for address 68.51.191.42
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host.
I read that in AP mode, there are some problems, please can you tell me if and how it works.
thanks
not AP mode, my router is configured in Home Gateway mode
Ha Oleg,
Is it in the next firmware possible to update to the latest dropbear?
In the 0.41 version there is this nasty bug in the TCP forwarding (whole session closes if a TCP connection fails) which happens to me too many times :(
The latest version appearently also fixes some security issues (0.43)
Anyway, thanks for your great firmwares!!
Yes. :)
Well, it works, partially... :(Quote:

What I'd like to get is 2-3 comps bridged with WL500g in client mode, because I want to shape them independently before the AP. In Nat mode I can't do this, maybe in routing mode?!?
Any suggestions?
tnx
This was for 1.6.5.3-2.Quote:

Is it there, or did you remove it? If yes, how to add it?

Removed to save space. I've not seen any objectives to leave it in the firmware.
You need to change busybox config & recompile firmware.
:DQuote:

Uff, its more that I can do at the moment, I only started with linux a couple of weeks ago (mainly becouse of this wl500).Quote:

just use harddrive or flashdrive for storing such things
the busybox executable is WAY TOO BIG to fit
that's it then! thnxz. I haven't been able to make my routerwork from HD yet. Too difficult ........... ;-)
Where is the bussybox.zip now located? Need wget too :-)
