Firmware v1.9.2.7 CR7 now 7g [Oleg]

[alien433]

i heard, there are some troubles in the 1.9.2.7-7f frimware, there is one bugfix in the 1.9.2.7-7g for the wl500gp and gx but not for the wl500g. Will the bugfix also be available for the wl500g?

Thanks

When I use the latest firmware I cannot get internet access with PPPoE. If I log on to the web interface I get the error message "cable unplugged". However with Firmware v1.9.2.7-6b it works fine. Any solutions to get PPPoE working with the latest firmware? Thanks.

Still no 7g update for the wl500g, only for the wl500gp. When will the update be available for the wl500g?

Hi,

My wlan is very unstable. I'm using a dothan-based notebook with an inter integrated wireless card to connect to my wl500g. But after a couple of days, the connection to wlan is refused. I've even started restarting the nas process to simulate a restart, but even that doesn't work.

The greatest mystery is that the the network itself is announced, I can see its SSID on my notebook, but if I try to connect, I get completely useless error messages (like unable to connect). There is nothing in the logs on the router, either.

Any ideas?

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem as harakiri576. I'm using 1.9.2.7-7f. I solve it by running "wl radio off" and "wl radio on"

Everything was working perfectly, but suddenly toady morning router lost default route and nothing helped me to fix this. ASUS' fw was uploaded and working god.

Here is an example (my.ppp.oe.gw - it's just a bougs name for my ext IP):
7f:

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
my.ppp.oe.gw    *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 WAN ppp0
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 LAN br0

ASUS:

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
my.ppp.oe.gw    *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 WAN
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 LAN
default         my.ppp.oe.gw    0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 WAN

Could anyone suggest what could happens and how to fix this?

PS. Any idea where to insert route add default gw my.ppp.oe.gw string? /usr/local/sbin/post-boot?

I run 7f and experience problems transferring files larger than the physical memory of my 500g (12 MB). I attached a1 GB usb stick, 2 partitions, 1 formatted ext3 800MB, rest = swapspace for running a website.

cat /proc/meminfo shows 120 MB swap available

When I try to download python 2.5 (14 MB) the system hangs after 8.5 MB, scp from local machine to router hangs at 8.7 MB, scp on router getting from local system hangs at 8.5 mb
ftp hangs at 8.3 MB. I finally attached the usb stick on my local machine, transferred the downloaded package. Returned the stick to the router and was able to install with ipkg. However I think I will be in trouble with the next ipkg python update as the package probably will be bigger than 14 MB.

Anyone experiences the same problem??

new firmware from oleg: http://oleg.wl500g.info/1.9.2.7-7g/

Hi,

my WL-HDD doesn't synchronize time via NTP with 1.9.2.7-7g. This bug was already present in 1.9.2.7-7f and it's still present in 1.9.2.7-7g.

EDIT: OK, it seems to be a DNS problem. If I set the IP from the NTP server I'm using directly into the NTP Server mask, synchronizing with NTP works. But I really don't know what's different with DNS since 1.9.2.7-7f. I'm using the same settings.

Hi,

you have to add your dns server to /etc/resolv.conf if NOT using DHCP.
i do this in post-boot:

echo "nameserver IP.OF.DNS.SERVER" > /etc/resolv.conf

This seems to be in f and g firmware.

PS Can someone add the Firmware to the Wizard?

[akbor]

Hi wengi,

thank you very much, that was the point! I suppose, in the FW versions < 1.9.2.7-7f the default gateway setting from the GUI was written in /etc/resolv.conf automatically as the DNS server.

Hi again,

yet another question: since I installed v1.9.2.7-7g on my WL-500gP, my System Log is full with following entries:

Apr 29 09:03:34 syslog: Warn: MRT_DEL_MFC; Errno(2): No such file or directory

Can anybody tell me, what does it mean? IMHO the previous (7f) firmware didn't log such warnings.

EDIT: Now i found out, these warnings were caused by multicast routing. I deactivated the multicast routing and the warnings were gone. But I would like to undersatnd the real reason of these warnings..

Thanks a lot!

Hi Oleg,

I tried to compile your 1.9.2.7-7g sources and I experienced the problem to compile LZMA library. The zlib.h file was missing.

I did an workaround and copied another one from ppp directories and made a patch to it by adding "compress2" method header into copied zlib.h.

The same library was missing in squashfs tree so I copied that newone from LZMA_lib folder into squashfs folder.

Offcourse, in both cases I had to replace following lines in files:
#include <zlib.h>
by
#incliude "zlib.h"

Finally it compiled.

Can you please fix it? Maybe I did something wrong and it should compile at first time.
