Firmware v1.7.5.9 CR2 [Oleg]

[Antiloop]

Hi.

My printer works om 1.7.5.9, but not on the r2.
But my ADSL only works om r2...

Can these be combined???

did you mind to read the text at http://wl500g.dyndns.org at all ?

see RAW PRINTING

Seems you're trying to setup this in bridging mode (no routing, etc). You should then switch wl500g to access point mode in addition to activating client mode. No other manual modifications required.

Hi Oleg,

does it really work this way?
I coulndn't get it go as a transparent client...

[Oleg]

Yes, it should work. Have you switched it to Client mode using nvram commands?
Also, WPA is not supported in client mode.

[rdude]

Hey, you're really quick, thanks for the answer! Yes I did, it works in Nat mode (home gateway), but not in accesspoint mode. I telnet in the asus, it pings both ways (to wireless and to wired as well), but no ping from my lan to the accesspoint. Seems like no bridging...

[Oleg]

Have you tried "wet" mode (13_x_ClientMode=2)?

[rdude]

No, I haven't, I'm going to try it right now. Actually, what's this WET mode?

[Oleg]

who knows. Actually this is a client mode with multicast support or something like this. There is no docs available.

[rdude]

Whohooo, it works! This WET mode helped, I can see all the Mac addresses behind my client on the AP! Do you know what's the max number of macs I can add in the Wireless Access control?
Its perfect now, the only thing I miss is SNMP support, so I could collect perf data with MRTG. What should I add to Your firmware? Is it possible yet?

Thank you again for your help and especially for your firmware, I'm eagerly awaiting for new versions...

Full linux support from the usb drive should also be cool (I have a 40Gb HD connected on the USB so that's enough space ). I only don't know how to install linux on it because of the limitations of the firmware. I can't extract the rootfs on the router Who can help me with that? And how to install some compilers on the new system since the firmware has completely no compiler. This is usefull to install an irc server (if possible).

Dear Oleg,

I have taken 1.7.5.9 yet, for configuring my usb disk as samba share,
but without success. I have configured my /etc/hosts correctly, but in /var/log/smb is the following recorded:

Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host .
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host .
No interface found for address 68.51.191.42
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host.
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host .
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host .
No interface found for address 68.51.191.42
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host.

I read that in AP mode, there are some problems, please can you tell me if and how it works.

thanks

[rodace]

not AP mode, my router is configured in Home Gateway mode

Ha Oleg,

Is it in the next firmware possible to update to the latest dropbear?
In the 0.41 version there is this nasty bug in the TCP forwarding (whole session closes if a TCP connection fails) which happens to me too many times
The latest version appearently also fixes some security issues (0.43)

Anyway, thanks for your great firmwares!!

[Oleg]

Yes.

[rdude]

Whohooo, it works! This WET mode helped, I can see all the Mac addresses behind my client on the AP!

Well, it works, partially...
It does not bridge multiple clients simultaneously, just one pc is pingable as well as only one pc gets to the net at a time behind it. (the firtst, which tries)
What I'd like to get is 2-3 comps bridged with WL500g in client mode, because I want to shape them independently before the AP. In Nat mode I can't do this, maybe in routing mode?!?
Any suggestions?

tnx

Guys, I've prepared the new firmware.
Changes: updated wl.o module with client mode support; busybox-1.0-pre7 with many tools compiled in (including telnetd, tftp, wget); PPTP DHCP support (experimental); nvram stored command execution. Also busybox is statically linked with uclibc, so resolver should work.

This was for 1.6.5.3-2.
But where's wget now in 1.7.9.2 cr2 ?
Is it there, or did you remove it? If yes, how to add it?

tnx
