To get access using telnet to your Wl HDD, you first have to get the telnetd file here:
http://files.wl500g.info/asus/wl500g/telnetd/telnetd
Be sure to get a 324 k file, not a 20 k file. Be sure to use left click, and to let it save on the HD
Copy this file on your first WL HDD partition. It probably have to be formated with ext2fs, so you might have to create a smaller partition to store your system files
Use normal ftp or samba access to save this file
Using the web admin interface:
http://wl-hdd/Main_AdmStatus_Content.asp
type
chmod a+x /tmp/harddisk/part1/telnetd
if you have located the telnetd file on the first partitioon of your wl-hdd
and hit refresh button
then just type /tmp/harddisk/part1/telnetd -d -l /bin/sh &
and hit refresh
You can use telnet wl-hdd and start exploring your device.
EDIT: You don't have to format ext2fs, you can also copy the telnetd file to your tmp directory and chmod it from there
EDIT2: you can click here if you have chmoded the telnetd in the first partition of your hd:
