Firmware v1.7.5.9 CR4

[Oleg]

New custom firmware available which is based on "old" 1.7.5.9 series. Sources, including kernel patches and rootfs is here.

The changes are:

• Added QoS (and wondershaper) support
• Added Telstra BigPond support (intergrated to the web) (credits to rwhitby)
• Recompiled dropbear ssh daemon for RSA/DSS support and pubkey authentication
• Updated squashfs to 2.0
• Source tree adjusted to rebuild kernel and it's dependencies
• Australian timezones patch
• Workaround ASUS bug in dynamic dns code (wlanutil nslookup empty output)

For details on wondershaper & updating ssh instalations please read this page.

Oleg also incorporated my Australian timezone patches.

Also, the BigPond support in this release will not work because rc.bpalogin was incorporated at the top level of the source tree instead of in extra/init/rc.bpalogin (and it also needs to be ugo+x). I'm sure Oleg will release a -5 today to fix this :-)

Oleg, I also submitted a patch which makes the /init/rc.dnsmasq script append the contents of /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf to /etc/dnsmasq.conf before starting dnsmasq. This is useful for adding additional options for dnsmasq (like static IP addresses based on something other than the MAC address, or turning on DNS logging). Could you incorporate it in -5 please? I've attached it to this message.

The new dropbear support is working perfectly for me :-)

Oops... BPA users should wait for the 1.7.5.9-5...

i can't get wondershaper to start, seems like there is something wrong in the
config file. I'm using 1.7.5.9-4 rootfs

running /init/wshaper start gives me this error

Cannot find device "root"
Error: Qdisc "1:" is classless.
Error: Qdisc "1:1" is classless.
/init/wshaper: 69: Syntax error: 9*/10

Error: Qdisc "1:1" is classless.
/init/wshaper: 69: Syntax error: 9*/10

example:
/init/wshaper start "eth1" 1000 220

"eth1" => device name wl500g contains br0 , eth0 , eth1 ,eth2
1000 => DOWNLINK rate
220 => UPLINK rate
....
above is what I know.

And I also have some questions ,too.
for example:

I don't understand what the different between br0, eth0,eth1,eth2?

When I set "eth1" 10 10 ,it works on the 4 port lan and the wireless.

but I set "eth2" 10 10 ,it only works on the wireless.

And I set "eth2" 1000 10 , but my wireless device do FTP download with 10 Kbits/s,
and when I set "eth2" 10 1000 ,the wirless do FTP download with 1000 Kbits/s
Is it normal case?

I try to study the wshaper's setup.
anyone have good sample?
thanks!

forgive my bad English.

And thanks Oleg so much.

I have some problems rebuilding Oleg's firmeware. I followed the instructions at http://wl500g.dyndns.org/. Patching the kernel sources went fine without any errors, but make linux gives (after a while) me errors:

Note that the kernel was built fine, only building modules gives errors. Any hints how to resolve my problems?

Seems you've missed et patch...

thanks!

eth0 is LAN ports, eth1 is the WAN port, eth2 is the WLAN port. shaping eth1 & eth2 results in args for download & upload being swapped, it's normal.

Read wl500g.dyndns.org page first.

Is the Implementet WonderShaper controlled by Commandlines for GURU users, or is it in the Web-page config ?

im not to happy by controlling stuff via cmd lines...

would be gr8 if it was Webpage configured..

so... is it ?

if not.. will it be in future releases...?

no.. someday it will, or you could fix a webconfig for it and mail it to Oleg, so he will integrate it

got it working but was misslead by your $1 (/init/wshaper start "$1" 1000 220) , after changing that to eth1 it's up and running.

[Oleg]

If you read carefully, $1 supposed to be in post-firewall script, so it will be "substituted" by WAN interface (either eth1 or ppp0) automatically.

anybody who can explain how to use these two in 1.7.5.9 cr4?

Added QoS (and wondershaper) support
-- i didn't found directly setting in firmware

Added Telstra BigPond support (intergrated to the web) (credits to rwhitby)
-- what 's that thing? any reference i can read?

??? where can you find directly settings than?
you probably mean webconfig, no it isn't added yet

Added Telstra BigPond support (intergrated to the web) (credits to rwhitby)
-- what 's that thing? any reference i can read?

the firmware sources maybe ?
anyway a search on the word 'bigpond' would have given you the answers, and that's that those are incorperated and thus in the source and that you can get those from rwhitby
