Firmware v1.9.2.7 CR3c [Oleg]

[Oleg]

yes! the 192.168.1.11 use wireless connection!
the conditions are the same, that i use in other fw, and have strong signal.

If you use WPA or WPA-PSK, then this strangeness is probably due to WPA supplicant software (i.e. vendor utilities). If you're running WXP SP2, then it's probably a good idea to remove utilities and let windows to configure your card.

PPPoE works fine for me, there should not be any problems.
It should either do not work at all, or work for every site.

if i connect directly to my ISP without the Asus, i did not get any DNS Server Errors, i can connect to Ebay in my account.
with the CR3c i was not able to log in ebay.

strange
maybe ill tray again next week

Does this firmware allow to use the rootfs from a stock wlhdd firmware? I have extracted rootfs from 1.2.3.2 WLHDD. Would I need the kernel image too?

Have not tried that, as I do not have wl-hdd, but it should work. No kernel image needed, but I'm suggesting to replace at least wl.o and et.o modules. In fact, replacing whole /lib/modules is a good idea.

I use only WEP! and i dont use any utilities on windows..... (i dont like them)

Don't you think I would get a better speed using the one from the stock firmware? Latest tests from 1.2.3.0 shows a good speed measurement?

[Oleg]

Unlikely. They've got speed increase due to switching to ext3, which I've performed initially. Also, wl-hdd kernel sources is a complete fake.

wds with wpa-psk or wep? (wpa-psk was already broken in 1.9.2.7)

WDS with WPA-PSK/AES. I used it with the previous version 1.9.2.7-3b.

WDS with WPA/WPA-PSK never worked with 1.9.2.7, I'm wonder why it worked in 3b. If I recall correctly there was no changes in this part in the 3c.

After testing, I had my wl-hdd booting a system. But probably all nvram are false, because I couldn't access it using wifi or ethernet. Usuallly when switching from one to one other, I still get some heartbeat by scanning the network cable. I suppose it has booted, but not set any value.

I leave the next part for the more adventurous, my baby daughter need more attention than my wl-hdd right now

[Oleg]

yes, nvram settings are totally different. this due to the fact, that stock wl-hdd uses semi-complete 1.8 style firmware.

First of all: Great work Oleg. Everthing works just fine.

So, I've got a problem concerning my smb.conf. I searched the internet for quite a while, read some forums and then built my smb.conf. All commands seem to be okay, I can access the share via network.
But whenever I copy new files on the share, the filenames are changed to lower case.

I'll just post my smb.conf, maybe s.o. has got an idea what's wrong:

[general]
workgroup = ASD1
netbios name = abc
server string = abc
preserve modes = Yes
preserve case = Yes    // Don't change filenames - doesn't (?) work
interfaces = 192.168.1.129/24
mangled names = No
log file = /tmp/harddisk/samba-log.%m
default case = Upper
case sensetive = No
mangle case = No

[wl-hdd]
path = /tmp/harddisk/
public = Yes
writeable = Yes
browseable = Yes

[Styno]

Perhaps you need to set 'case sensitive' to 'Yes' too.

WDS with WPA/WPA-PSK never worked with 1.9.2.7, I'm wonder why it worked in 3b. If I recall correctly there was no changes in this part in the 3c.

I'm now using 2 WL-500g's, WDS with WPA-PSK/AES and 1.9.2.8. I got confused by your answer about 1.9.2.7.
I'll try the Oleg versions with WDS.

In NT I had the problem that using names shorter than 8 letters were converted to lower when naming it like 'UPPER' you can set this nvram value to solve this

nvram set usb_vfat_options=shortname=winnt
