Hi EddieZ, hi everyone,

I've just updated my router with this new firmware and it took more then 12 minutes
In fact, I've waited much more ( ~30 min. ) and the router did not finished the update process. After a while it stopped to respond even to ping commands.
Then I had to Power Off/On my router, Of course when restarted the PWR started to flashing-slow.
Finally I've managed to update to 1.9.7.0 with firmware restoration tool.
So hopefully the next update will take just 3 min. and run with no problems.

In fact the most important chage since my original firmware (1.9.6.7) is that looks like the whole 32 Megs of memory is enabled now, which was not the case in the previous version.

The main reason of my upgrade was to solve some problems with user access rights for samba, the Asus change log claims that they solved it since 1.9.6.8, but I still have some problems with that. I'll post that on a more appropriate thread since here would be off-topic.
