New oleg firmware version

[cichy]

Had some problems with r308 too, i.e. weak signal on radio, after switching back to older version all is fine.

For not working ipkg try to mount filesystem, use

mount -a

maybe this will help, had same problem.

Your message has null informativity

First of all, you didn't tell which router model you own.
Second, wireless driver is Broadcom binary, i.e. we can't modify ourself anything!
Finally, "older" version is what ??!

UVCdriver - chances is very small, only if somebody do backport from 2.6 kernel. Task is huge, but possible.

check http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/ if it support your webcam, this driver can be compiled for 2.4

Thanks a lot it is unsupported webcam

Hey lly,

got the lastest firmware flashed today.

When I connect the webcam straight to the box (no hub)
Only the rcamdmain process starts, and /dev/video stays empty:

[root@wpte root]$ rcamd -p 7777 -s 4 -z MET-1METDST,M3.5.0/2,M10.5.0/3 -a 0 -t 0
-r 0 -f 640x480 -m 100 -c 100 &
[root@wpte root]$ Unable to open /dev/video: No such file or directory

I also replugged it to be sure.

Another random thing is that:

Jan 1 01:00:04 kernel: hub.c: USB hub found
Jan 1 01:00:04 kernel: hub.c: 4 ports detected
Jan 1 01:00:04 kernel: usb.c: registered new driver usblp

pops up while there isn't any hub connected
or I must have found wireless usb on the router



Now with usb hub:
Another no go, exactly the same problem as with a direct connection

I have the logs attached

Yes, I see real problem - webcam driver is not loaded

Jun 10 22:10:08 USB webcam: attached
Jun 10 22:10:12 kernel: hub.c: new USB device 01:03.0-1, assigned address 3
Jun 10 22:10:12 kernel: usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x46d/0x8b2) is not claimed by any active driver.
Jun 10 22:10:12 USB webcam: removed 

But I can investigate this problem only after my week vacation.

It is internal hub in router.

It is internal hub in router.

Have a good holiday

internal hub? I thought that there was a 4 port usb chip with only 2 ports attached...
since it's also saying it found 2 usb ports...

Hi is possible compile vsftpd with ssl/tls support?
thanks a lot

I'm not sure if it's possible with dropbear, but you can connect to openssh with sftp.

it's easy, just connect with your username and password

Only as external package, since it requires openssl library. Take a look into optware packages.

WOOHOO!
My webcam is working again, on usb hub AND direct connection!
great job lly
r381 for the win

EDIT:
Via usb hub is working when:
1. the webcam is plugged in directly on the router
2. removed
3. plugged in the usb hub

otherwise I get this:

Jan 1 01:00:07 kernel: hub.c: new USB device 01:03.2-1.4.1, assigned address 5
Jan 1 01:00:07 kernel: usb.c: unable to get device descriptor (error=-32)
Jan 1 01:00:07 kernel: hub.c: new USB device 01:03.2-1.4.1, assigned address 6
Jan 1 01:00:07 kernel: usb.c: unable to get descriptor
Jan 1 01:00:07 kernel: usb.c: unable to get device 6 configuration (error=-32)

Hello everyone, some questions and potential help to the project:

1. I'm a linux-noob and I do not know much more than that I can follow a How-To/Guide/Tut and understand what is happening (as long as there are explanations ). I have a WL-520gU fresh from the store. I want to use it as a torrent-downloader to my external USB HDD and I want to be able to access the files (the easiest way with Samba probably). I originally used the latest of Olegs firmwares, and followed wengi's excellent How-To. However, it is not working as good as I would have hoped. Atm. I cannot reboot the router , transmission is working pretty good but working with transmission through it's webinterface is nearly impossible (due to being very slow). Anyway, do you recommend me to try to use the latest version of the firmware or should I stick with oleg's until you have a good release? Or do you have any tips on my problems?

2. From what I have understood of this discussion, I will have to compile the stuff myself which I can imagine will be a problem for me, even if I have a How-To. Is it possible to find a compiled version somewhere that fits my needs? Otherwise, any recommended version or should I just go with the latest?

3. If I use this firmware, would it still be possible to follow wengi's guide? (let me know if you need a url to it)

5. From what I have read here, you are some crazy l337 *nix ha><><0rz, and I am very greatful for all your work. However, you lack the knowledge of webprogramming, especially VBScript right? I feel that the least thing I can do to do "my share" for using all your awesome stuff you l337 *nix ha><><0rz (oh how long I've waited to use the l337 language in a discussion again ) it I happen to know a little (probably enough as long as I do not need to deal with the *nix stuff). I have of course like everybody else, a very limited amount of time to help you out, but if you have some small, kind of critical and very useful stuff that should be done, let me know how I can contribute.

Again, thank you all l337 *nix ha><><0rz out there (especially Illy in this thread I assume) for your great work!

1. You can still use wengi's how-to on the beta firmware.
In fact, the only thing you need to do is: backup settings and flashfs, restore factory defaults, flash firmware, reconfigure the router and flash the flashfs file back. You'll be done quickly
Rebooting is a different problem... you should just type "reboot" in a console like putty.

2. No you don't need to compile it yourself, even tough it's not that hard. You can download the latests revision here: http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/
they may update a lot faster than the stable releases, so visit the site now and then

good answers?

Have started using 1.9.2.7-d-r381 on my WL500gx. I have updated the additional kernel modules to the same version but get the following problem when trying to load the audio modules.

[admin@Server root]$ modprobe audio
modprobe: Failed to load module audio: Operation not permitted.

I have returned to

[admin@Server root]$ insmod soundcore
[admin@Server root]$ insmod audio
[admin@Server root]$

and that works fine. I have the same problem with pwc and pwcx.
Is modprobe broken?
