Guys, yet another attempt. Fixed a stupid error in -pre1, do not use it anymore. Try this one and let me know if you are happy now.

Oleg,

The excel sheet now prints OK, in the syslog however there is still:

May 10 23:26:53 kernel: lp_wait_ready timeout
May 10 23:26:53 kernel: lp_write timeout

should these messages be there?

Tomorrow i will trie some more prints.

Thanks.

Try printing other documents. The messages above just indicating that your printer is busy, but this should not cause any problems. Most likely you had these messages with 1.9.2.7-4 too...

Hi, Oleg
Good news, this morning
My HP990cxi is functioning again very well in RAW mode and this with the last version of the enhanced driver of HP.

Concerning the bidirectional functionality: the driver shows the possibility to activate the function, but the printer utility cannot use it (no indication of the ink level).

Works for me. Thanks for your help.

Please can somebody explain this?
Will it work with "ordinary" WL-500g?
And what "range" problem does it fix?

I have also wondered about that. I have just recently bought my 2nd WL-500g, and it will be upgraded to this new firmware very shortly.

Will I get better range if i commit this "upgrade" on my WL-500g? I have some problmes with the range one floor down. One floor up is no problem. But that may be because of that the ground floor consists of very much concrete, and my 2nd floor consists of wood... I don't know.

But will I get better range by doing this? And how do I do it? I have already set the TX power to 84 mW.

Thanks. And thanks for a super firmware!!!

Try it. The things are not known in advance.

When i press FINISH and SAVE/RESTART buttons on web management page, WL-500g starts rebooting, power LED goes off, but it doesn't come back again. I have to replug power cord to get it works.

Seems like problems with one unit. Another one works.

Has anyone else tried building the 1.9.2.7-5a release from the sources?. I tried serveral times but the same error apparently in patching a Makefile. I have successfully compiled the 1.9.2.7-4 sources in the past. I do the following...

tar -C . -xzf ./GPL_1927.tar.gz
tar -C ./broadcom/src -xjf ./wl500g-1.9.2.7-5a.tar.bz2
cd broadcom/src
cd *-5a
make uClibc
make kernel
make

Here is where the trouble is I get the following message

tar -C /home/d/wl500g1927-5/broadcom/src/router -cf - libcrypto | tar -C /home/d/wl500g1927-5/broadcom/src/gateway -xf -

/bin/sh: Makefiles5.diff: No such file or directory
make: *** [custom] Error 1

I'm not sure if I have the new step to make uClibc in the right order (it ssems like the right place). I can't find the file Makefiles5.diff anywhere. The error is in Makefile in broadcom/src/wl500g-1.9.2.7-5a.

Sorry to heap another complaint after the printer storm.

remove this line, it's no longer needed.

I would like to access my webcam picture (not the stream) (http://my.routers.ip.address:7776/display.jpg) from the internet, without having to use the password. I have STF but I could only find something with another (old) firmware. Is this possible with the 1.9.2.7-5a firmware, width og widthout modifications?

I will use the picture in my website, accessible for everyone...

Thanks. And thanks for a great forum and a great firmware.

Newer firmwares includes mostly everything, that was included before, so it should work.
