my dns seems to work now. i had to delete the symlink /etc/resolv.conf and created a new /etc/resolv.conf with nameserver 192.168.1.1 .
ipkg can get/install files now.
now my problem is mounting the ide harddisk inside the wl-hdd. there is no /dev/ide nor /dev/scsi in /dev/ directory. so how do i mount it? i have ipkg-installed kmod-ext2 kmod-ext3 kmod-vfat already. my 80gb hdisk is using ext3 format. here's my /dev list:
console kmem misc null ptmx random tty
full log mtd nvram pts root urandom
gpio mem mtdblock port pty shm zero
many thanks.
