Hi, there is a customized firmware that use the multi-ssid or guest account like this official beta firmware 1.9.4_6?
I tryed to use this official but there is a bug on guest account, is impossible for wireless client receive ip from an external DHCP server, and the ip assigned to the guest account is not pingable.

No sources, no firmware. Drop a message to ASUS asking for firmware sources, as otherwise I'm unable to build anything.

I spend so much time to get the 2.6'er kernel compiled for the ASUS. It compiled fine, but then I noticed, that my WL-HDD didn't give me network access anymore. So I was crawling the WEB to get as much Information as possible. So I figured out, I don't have any pieces of code for the wireless stuff. Just only the binary included at many Tarballs (WL-Hdd, WL500G, Devices from Belkin, Siemens etc.)

How about the Open WRTG Project, do they use the old 2.5' Kernel too ??

Hello Guys,

With the new beta-firmware 1.9.4.6: in AP mode you can now use the WLAN port as LAN port (I use the newest bootloader).

With earlier firmwares (except from Oleg's firmware 1.9.2.7-5 and later) this was not possible.

I tried it on a wl-500gx. Don't know if it is working also on a wl-500g.

Hi,
is it possible that the bug (wireless client connected to guest account do not receive ip from external dhcp) is caused because my wl500g deluxe use bugged bootloader ?

nvram get hardware_version

it returns: WL500gx-01-03-01-33

Hi all. Here is GPL source code for 1.9.5.0 firmware.
http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/wir...e/GPL_1950.zip
4Oleg: will you be able to build your custom firmware based on this Asus code?

ASUS thank's OLEG

I was jaust playing around with the Sources 1.9.5.0 from Asus
and I found this:

Code:

160 int pid; 161 162 #if 1 // Thanks for Oleg 163 nvram_set("wan_auth_t", "FAIL"); 164 #else 165

So you know for sure they take a look at this forum, and they probably understand, what kind of sources we need to get a 2.6 kernel build.

And when you take a look at the new wl.o module you'll see that this is a newer one, I#m quit sure that ASUS does have the sources and didn't buy just the binary from Broadcom. So why they don't give it to us ???

I think it should be GPLed too, isn't it ??

Greeting from Berlin

EDIT:

not only in this File in a lot more !!!

Thats kind of cool! :D
OLEG in the source, thats quite funny :cool:

I have never thought, that a source, like the one above has over 100MB!

I'm just working (realy just for fun) on the 1.9.5.0 Sources to integrate OLEGs patches, I think the complete sourcetree (at least a lot files for the rc stuff) could be a little smaller, if the ASUS techs would write just at the top of each file, what Ideas they took from OLEG in which line.

No, No, just Joking, but they imported a lot lines from OLEGs patches it's a little hard to integrate OLEGs stuff to the new 1.9.5.0 tree !!

But it's realy nice, that the ASUS wrote a notice in the sources, that those line come from him.
