    New oleg firmware version

    It's been almost a year since Oleg publish last version of his firmware. Since then, much has changed. There are several things that must be done. Among other things layer7 support, better QoS (preferably integrated with the web interface), a newer kernel (the last of the 2.4 line), better ipv6 support, some bugfixes, etc.

    I know that some may say if you want that features write it yourself or use OpenWRT.
    I do not have experience with that and i do not want change firmware because i like it.

    Oleg is opensource maybe somebody know somebody who wants become this firmware developer?

    best regards

    Nobody can replace Oleg

    But some tasks can be done without Oleg. If you can read russian (even with automatic translator), you can visit thread http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=17136

    Short version is ready on http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/wiki/NEWS
    Long Changelog.txt exist in russian only.
    Is it stable?
    I prefer to call it 'Experimental', since I cannot provide support like Oleg. i.e. it stable for me, but has some untested places and bugs ( all sofware has bugs ).
    How can i help you?
    We needs an iptables guru to test this part of firmware. People, who can write detailed tutorials(FAQ) also welcome. And, of course, web interface is very old (as in Oleg firmware), but this requires skill in programming due to ASUS design of internal http server.

    He is not one of developers --- he did it all! At the moment contributions of others are really small. On the other hand this firmware seems to be already pretty stable. Personally I run it already for more than a month, and I don't see any failures. However, additional testing is certainly pretty welcome.

    This new firmware itself, its sources, modules, and new toolchain are available here: http://wl500g.googlecode.com/ The firmware's sources are available there as svn-repository as well.

    Brief English changelog is here: http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/wiki/NEWS The full one is attached to the first message in the Russian thread.

    Good Job!!! I'll try it tomorrow.

    It looks very nice.

    I can write tutorials with screenshots for begginers. Maybe i try later write simple web interface something like asus (asp -> vbscript)

    The most important for me is QoS.
    Wshaper do not work best.
    I put torrent trafic in lowest class and no effect. (web pages load very slow)
    QoS in OpenWRT works perfect, may be a good idea to do the same here.

    Maybe you could try to do something with it?

    I would be very grateful

    best regards

    Ok i install it. And that is amazing.

    With oleg 1.9.2.7-10 if i do things what need a lot of cpu power. (compressing folders with tar) Router was crashing and internet connection was broken.

    I test it 16 hours and i think that firmware is better than oleg.

    I can surf the internet even something is compressing on the router. That is amazing.

    First of all, you have to say thanks to Linux kernel team
    Second, Oleg also has plans to migrate to new kernel and he helps me at starting point.

    And of course, animadversion to lazy Broadcom they don't want neither recompile wl driver to 2.6 kernel tree, nor open it sources!

    Wow just found this new firmware and it sounds very interesting.
    Tried it and what I saw until now looks very good.

    The 1.1/2.0 USB bug annoys me a lot, so if this fixes it would be great. ( cant try since i mostly have 1.1 hubs due to the bug)
    The Irda driver in the newest changelog looks intresting anyone knows how to use it.
    I plugged un my Irda usb dongle and "lsusb" gives me: SigmaTel, Inc. STIr4200 IrDA Bridge.
    So it seems like its detected, but i dont really know how to go on from here.
    any help apreciated.

    Thx to everyone trying to make the firmware even better!

    This task is really huge and far away from complete. Ideally, it is necessary to backport entire EHCI driver from 2.6 kernel tree. Only about 8-10% done.

    Am I out of date?

    I've recently installed 1.9.2.7-10.
    A wonderfull firmware!!

    Is this the newest one (=1.9.2.7-d???) or have I got to install a newer one?

    If you want you can install. I think that firmware is more stable than oleg.

    You can download it from wl500g.googlecode.com

    Still unusable for wl500gp users (like all other recent OLEG firmwares). Works only if "PPPoE Idle Disconnect Time" is set to "0"

    Yeah, BTW, can anything be done about that server? Like replace it with something that can use another programming language?

    Although I don't exactly see what that alternative language could be, since all interpreted languages are resource hogs as far as the 500gP is concerned...

    What are the limitations of the internal http server?
