Allright...wrong question :rolleyes:

I've compiled dnsmasq myself, since the dnsmasq version at this location has IPv6 support compiled in, which results in a "Protocol not supported" error. Strange actually, but recompiling seemed easier yesterday ;)
By the way, I've also found out that mounting iso images to directories does not work right away. You have to manually create symlinks to the loop devices. I think it has something todo with devfs support (but I'm not sure). Anyway, you have to create symlinks from /dev/loop0 to /dev/loop/0 (and that for all 8 loop devices if you want to mount several images). Maybe you can fix the next version of the rom to include these symlinks?

Right now, I've added the following lines to my post-boot script:

Code:

---

for l in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ; do
    ln -s /dev/loop/$l /dev/loop$l
done

---

which also works fine.

Looks like a bug in busybox.

Yes, I suppose. I've upgraded to BusyBox 1.8.1, but that didn't solve the problem. I've seen a bug report about this issue, but the resolution was something like: disable devfs in the kernel :(

I'll try to recompile version 1.8.2 tonight and see if that makes any difference.

Problems with rtorrent and firmware v1.9.2.7 CR8

Trying to use rtorrent from opt-ware source, but after upgrading from 1.9.2.7-7g i get:

Code:

---

Storage error: [File chunk write error: Success.

---

Trying to download torrent to vfat partition. And I'm using screen for being able to detach rtorrent. Using a wl500gx.

Will downgrade now, but if anyone can think of whats causing this then I would be thank full.

It is a pity, because WDS with WPA seemed to work :)

BTW: is there an easy way to get the wireless MAC of the WL500Gx (get it from the router-menu or alike)?

Encounter the same problem with Intel 2200BG. On another Compaq notebook using Broadcom wlan chipset, works perfectly fine. In my case, the problem started after I upgraded the firmware to the official Asus firmware 1.9.7.5 release.

This is what I get from Intel's website which sort of describe similar problem and the solution for the problem we're encountering :
- PSP (Power Save Polling) Causes Connection Issues With Some Access Points --> http://www.intel.com/support/wireles.../cs-006205.htm

- 802.11 Association Lost with Cisco* AP Configured for World-Mode Legacy
--> http://www.intel.com/support/wireles.../CS-022146.htm

- Stop Message When Running Older Intel Drivers after Upgrading Cisco* AP Firmware --> http://www.intel.com/support/wireles.../CS-022538.htm

The first suggestion I tried but problem persisted. Is there any way to disable "World-Mode Legacy" in the Asus WL-500gP??

Hm... I see now. 802.11d is disabled at the moment. Perhaps I've to move this setting to the web iface.
You could try adjusting nvram variables:

To force 802.11d setting:

Code:

---

nvram set wl_reg_mode=d
nvram commit
reboot

---

To force 802.11h setting:

Code:

---

nvram set wl_reg_mode=h
nvram commit
reboot

---

To disable regulations:

Code:

---

nvram set wl_reg_mode=off
nvram commit
reboot

---

when I try to update packages in my wl-500g (oleg's7g firmware) I get the following message for several, but not all packages:

cd opt/tmp


wget http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/op...1-1_mipsel.ipk

ipkg innstall libxml2_2.6.31-1_mipsel.ipk --verbosity 2
pkg_info_preinstall_check: updating arch priority for each package
pkg_info_preinstall_check: update file owner list
Upgrading libxml2 on /opt/ from 2.6.30-1 to 2.6.31-1...
Running script /opt/ipkg-lhsnXv/libxml2-xDGmYW/preinst

segmentation fault

after this, ipkg hangs and I have to reboot to get anything working on the commandline again.

the same happens when I just run ipkg update / ipkg upgrade.
I have about 46 MB total memory and >300MB diskspace left on my usb stick
that is mounted on /opt (ext3)
Anyone with a solution?
