New 1.0.4.6 based custom firmware

[mumsoft]

Hi,

After installing KFurge's image, is it possible to hook the router to a pc with an usb cable and access the hard disk as if it were a usb hard disk? Combined with the methods to mount such a disk, it would give us the possibility to get a better grip on the internal disk.
But I don't know if this a hardware feature or a software feature. In the latter case, with some knowledge, it would be feasable, I guess.

Greetz,
Marc

But I don't know if this a hardware feature or a software feature.

It's both. Only USB OTG (On The Go) is able to flip flop between a host and device endpoint. The USB ports on this box are host only. There's no chance.

" # Add the following line to /opt/etc/ipkg.conf with the newly installed busybox version of vi: "src optware http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable". Here's a copy of mine.
# Run "ipkg update"
# For completeness, re-run "ipkg install" for uclibc, busybox, ipkg, and wget to fully install them. You may have to use the -force-overwrite flag."

It seems that you have not set the path, so the OS doesn't know which commands you want to execute.

So, either include the full path:

/opt/bin/ipkg

or, copy & paste the following lines to your telnet session:

export PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:${PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

as you can see, the directory "/opt/bin" is added to your path (so it knows to look thee for the ipkg command.

Hi,

export PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:${PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
(every time you log in until you set up a .profile see the tutorials on how to install the custom firmware on various pages)

ipkg install uclibc-opt busybox ipkg-opt wget

Hi,

Can anyone help me please?

I have followed the windows based instructions for updating to KC's firmware and the firmware is successfully uploaded to the router. I then get a minute or two of IDE activity. Whenever I run EZSetup after that though it fails and doesn't tell me why!?

The router then works absolutely fine, as if I hadn't done anything to it. My share is still there with data on it. Some settings have returned to default but other than that it's as it was before.

Is there a way to tell if I have the custom firmware on it now?

Thanks for your help.

[glenmaroney]

the rc.local isn't being executed when the router reboots. Any ideas why not?
