I have a wl500gpv2 running 1.9.2.7-d-r893.trx. I'd like to upgrade to r1000 - do I have to reset the router to factory defaults before or after upgrading? Can I later upload saved settings file or do I have to enter them manually? Do you recommend against upgrading without resetting to factory defaults?

it's not linked I guess.
just try:
/opt/bin/python2.5
the linking problems has nothing to do with the firmware, but with the ipkg package

Thanks for answering wpte, but I tried that already :
On another router with latest Oleg (1.9.2.7-10), it works.WL500 login: admin
Password:
[admin@WL500 root]$ /opt/bin/python2.5
-sh: /opt/bin/python2.5: not found
Student Computer Engineer
what about
you should get back something like this:ls /opt/bin/ | grep python
and otherwise try a reinstall:python-config
python2.5
python2.5-config
my output:ipkg install -force-reinstall -force-overwrite python

Unfortunately, busybox has very quiet diagnostic. This message simply means that some library, required by python, wasn't found!
Such situation must be in FAQ since it repeats very often, and people who don't familiar with unix, will surprised.
Tools to find libraries dependency - ldd, readelf.
Junior Member
So I have to find ldd or readelf. Is there a ipkg package or a download location ?
Thanks,
REO
Junior Member
Ok, found a thread that ldd is included in the buildroot package. So installed that one which also installed uclibc-opt.
Afterwards python2.5 worked !!!
Removed the buildroot and uclibc-opt packages (obviously python2.5 worked no longer) then installed only uclibc-opt again and python2.5 still works.
Thank you for the help Ily and wpte !!!

It is alpha version and it has serious limitations:
1) WiFi will not up out-of-the-box (manual only)
2) printer+webcam+etc. not supported
3) bugs
To be fixed, but it will take some time.

but usb hdd's are supported?
Forum Guru
Yes, but there may be some issues, since 2.6.22 is too old and we didn't make backports on USB subsystem yet.
NB! it is experimental apha version
Student Computer Engineer
good, I'll try on an useless usb-stick
