Hello,

Using firmware Version: 1.9.2.7-7c (OLEG) on my wl500g I cannot perform "change directory" in order to run Palantir refering to this scenario :
" Decompress palantir.zip to the root of an external flashdisk or harddisk ,
cd to /tmp/harddisk/palantir/bin , there you can start it with ./palantir "

To start with, my usb-drive, containing the palantir directories, seems to mount correctly :
syslog is showing
Jun 8 10:58:57 USB storage: vfat fs mounted to /tmp/harddisk
Via list cmd I can see the palantir files on the usb disk using the complete path :
ls /tmp/harddisk/palantir/bin
palantir
sysfeed
The usb cam (disabled in usb appl) is being attached properly as well :
Jun 8 10:59:57 USB webcam: attached

Following chdir cmd however gives no error msg, not any output either :
chdir /tmp/harddisk/palantir/bin
?? nothing ??
ls cmds still are presenting file listing of the default directory :
Advanced_ACL_Content.asp
Advanced_APLAN_Content.asp
Advanced_APWAN_Content.asp
etc.
pwd
/www

Without performing a valid chdir I can start palantir using the complete path but of course it

fails to initialize correctly :
/tmp/harddisk/palantir/bin/palantir.
[main] -- palantir 2.5.5-Mips starting --
[main] Definitions for 1 devices found
[main] No serial port specified
[main] No named pipe specified
[video] ** Fatal error: Cannot open video device /dev/v4l/video0: No such file or directory

May the following msgs have to do with my failing chdir cmds? Or am I just too stupid to operate a Linux system?
syslog display

Thanks for offering me some help! Regards, Paul,

There is an update of the webcam drivers to support kernel 2.4.30. I changed version number to 0.2 and tested it with an Asus WL-500g Premium so far. Also the software motion was compiled and should run under most firmware likes olegs and my personal favourite openWrt.

Checks were done with openwrt rc5 and asus wl500gp

Is anyone successful in operating the palantir server software on Asus wl-500gP with 3 or more webcams? Any interesting comments/experiences/config-setups are welcome.
