Flashing Oleg's Firmware in WL HDD

[hugo]

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:

I can't seem to get hold of this file. When I left-click me IE browser opens with code inside and when I right-click with save as, I get the 20 k file

Can anyone help?

Sorry, I still can't get it. Can you mail it to me? or can I download it with FTP?
