Firmware v1.8.1.7 CR3 [Oleg]

[WlanMan]

Hi

It seems i found a bug in the Javascripts that controll the admin page. If you repeatedly switch between two sellections in some of the pulldown menus they get longer and longer (see Screenshot).

Also, It still dont shows the printer status in the Status page (Blank fields).

The rest is a great release, now have to test Samba

A question: Can you embed the NetIO binary in the next release, great for testing and only 25k or less.

Oleg,
Can you still have a look at the WPA-PSK/TKIP and WPA-PSK/TKIP+AES issue, as has been discussed in the 1.8.1.7-2 forum?
Thanks.

Hi,
I upgraded firmware to 1.8.1.7-3 and I started to get very awfull messages in /var/log/smb - seems like shared memory is somewhat corrupt (?).
The smbd process seems to span more and more children processes.
The smb.conf was not changed from that which worked in 1.8.1.7-2a and previous.
Access to shared folder is working well, despite of errors, but it cease to function after some time.

Can anybody tell me how to correct this? Or samba itself is broken?

/etc/smb.conf

same here. Samba is probably compiled without IPC support. This is problematic for share folder browsing, but not for connecting and using your share.

[Oleg]

1.8.1.7-3 uses "newer" samba, and it has some problems. I've not time to check this yet.

[Styno]

Same problems here too. I suffered a huge performance loss, because the time needed before the datatransfers actually starts is very long. Data transfer itself is pretty fast, I reached 800 kByte/s while reading. Thats 200 more then with 1.7.x.x series firmware.

My smb log:

Unknown message type 160!
2004/11/21 19:09:19 unknown command type (SMBunknown): cnum=105 type=160 (0xA0)

I get the messages above very often, so below is the last bit of the log

I just discovered a 'corefiles' directory in the '/var/log' directory. It contains a file called 'core' which is 417792 bytes big. I have no idea what it is. I can find on Google many ways how to clean them, but nowhere what they are. They seem to me like core dumps when a program crashes or something. Am I right? Are these files nessesary or can I safely delete them, because they consume lots of ram...?

[predatorx]

Maybe this is off-topic, but I can't find it.
How do I use my printer on the router from Linux?
Any help on that will be great!
