I also happen to know this one http://koppel.cz/cdmawifi/english/ which adds USB modem support. It is the only ready to use firmware capable of transforming an old WL-500g into a 3G router that I know of. But development stopped in 2008 too.

I recently found a new firmware from IIy WL500gpv2-1.9.2.7-d-r2624.trx,
everything works perfectly also choose samba is finally corrected, but I have a big problem: if I connect to ssh ce MC and root disk is displayed incorrectly and I can not browse folders with no view and copy the file.
I see the following directory structure shown (as in the picture attached) for example
/tmp"
/etc"
/dev"
and it is not possible to work... in the previous version of Oleg, the problem don't, all correct.
What is wrong?
Even had an idea, of that can be used by another character set, but I'm not sure.

It is a known bug in MC, appeared on busybox target systems only. Fixed in current stable versions (I use 4.7.5).
An old Oleg FW has very old busybox which hasn't some new features used by MC fishfs.

Hello,
thank you for your explanation,about this error I had no idea...
I can update, if it is available for my distro.

Resolved,
I just found a new version of MC, installed and everything works fine.

Want to come back on the upnp daemon.
It's starting during boot, but it's also crashing every now and then, and I don't have fastnat enabled
there's no log about it happening either

Probably, problem is in specific client request since I can't reproduce it. Are you able to run upnp daemon via gdb to see crash stacktrace?Want to come back on the upnp daemon.

Code:gdb --args upnp -L lan_ifname -W wan_ifname
Student Computer Engineer
Yes, I might have been wrong about the crash, it just becomes unresponsive to anything: upnp discovery or soap messages.
I'm running it in gdb now

anyone know if it is safe to import config file exported from -d version in -rtn version?
Student Computer Engineer
yeah, should be fine.
The thing is, I did have some configuration problems when I tried it, so in the end it might be better just to do a manual reconfiguration when you experience the same problems
I must say that the rtn branch runs more stable than the d branch on my wl-500w

nvram (config) was ok, but backup your flashfs.yeah, should be fine.

I use my WL-500W as a wireless ethernet bridge to my RT-N16.
so you plug in ethernet cables and it'll send the packages over wireless to the RT-N16.
I noticed:
- the connection is always alive, under the -d firmware it would stop working sometimes.
- Better sensitivity of the network
- Higher throughput
so yeah, you could say so
