Run Xlink Kai on the Wl500g

**remixme** · 03-06-2005, 18:35

I'm glad to see plenty of people got this working. I myself hadn't had much chance to use it since I wrote the tutorial.

Now I find myself a few of Oleg's firmware revisions on, having wiped my usb stick for something else; now wishing that it was flashed into the firmware. lol.

Unfortunetely the size of kaid at 1.17 meg is large, and unlike the wrt54g I seem to remember that we are more pushed for flash space, because of usb etc.

Maybe someone could make clear what features we would have to drop out of Olegs custom firmware to make room for it. I have some time on my hands so I could take a look. But I'd like to know if it is worth the effort first!

With the PSP having hit stores on the first of September across Europe, I guess a lot of folks out there are wondering if there wasn't a way we could get kaid implemented into Olegs custom firmware. I am thinking about maybe having a special "kaid-wl500g(x)-custom-firmware-release" for all us PSP fanatics out there who a too noobed to compile their own.

Any comments or thoughts on that?

Hi everyone,

I have tried all night to get KaiStation/Kai up and running on my Asus Wl500gx router (Olegs 1.9.2.7-5a firmware). In the end, all that's left is trying to seek help from the forum.

From what I understand and have read on others forums, there should basically be three ways to get this work.

1. Compiling a new firmware, based on the sources right here. http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/binary/7005base.zip
This option is beyond my knowledge of Linux and compiling.

2. Begging Oleg to implement KaiStation into one of his custom firmwares.
This would probably require a special version of his custom firmware, since the KaiStation seems to take up quite a lot of space.

3. Downloading the linux version of Kai (kaid4linuxmips) from the Xlink Website, copying the two files (kaid and kaid.conf) to a usb harddrive that's attached to the router. Editing the kaid.conf file to match the MAC of my PSP and then having Kai started in a post-boot script every time the rooters boots. I suppose one could then also get Kai set up via the Windows Java Applet??
This way seems to be the easiest to realize. One wouldn't even have to flash the firmware of the router. Problem is that I am a complete noob when it comes to Linux. Therefore I would really appreciate of someone out there could give me some pointers in the right direction.

Thanks for your help guys!!!

That's a very good idea if you ask me! I can't seem to get it to work.. So i would really appreciate that. But im running on OpenWRT, so can someone post a post-boot script.. Cuz mine is giving errors.. This is the text i get if i excecute my command.

This is my command i use to start:

Code:

/opt/xlink/kaid -c /opt/xlink/kaid.conf;

As response i get:

Code:

What is wrong with my conf file.. Or whats wrong with my command?

hi guys!

i followed the xlink kai tutorials in this forum - especially that one: http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=1428&highlight=kai

running the engine on my pc works great but xlink won´t run on my wl-500gp. im loading kaid and kaid.conf with the post-boot script. when starting it says:
KAID: Kai Engine for KaiStation is initialising...
WARNING: Unable to open engine persist data file (/tmp/kaiEnginePersist.txt)
KAID: Kai Engine for KaiStation is starting...
THREAD: Engine thread started...
User defined signal 1

i played around with the config settings but it won´t run. the firmware i´m using is: WL500gp-1.9.2.7-7f-pre7.trx
hw configuration: wl500gp => adsl modem
i turned off the firewall and upnp.
it would be great if someone would post his config file so i can compare the settings. please tell me if there are any specific router settings to make this thing work.

thx
mac

**macattec** · 23-10-2006, 20:30

it seems that the latest mips version won´t run on the router. after some research i found a solution: use kaistation_kaid and the corresponding config file which can be found here:
www.ju1c3.com/kaistation_kaid
www.ju1c3.com/kaid.conf

have fun!
