I have been using Oleg's firmware 1.9.2.7-7b on my wl500gx for the longest time and never had any issues or reason to upgrade. However I recently bought a nintendo DS and wanted to leave the Wifi open without the need for an encyrption key. However to do so I would only feel safe if I was to restrict access to the admin webpage via an Iptables configuration, as well as restrict access from the wlan to any machines in the vlan. I planned on accomplishing that removing eth2 from br0 using the command brctl delif eth2. However my problem. No eth2 in ifconfig -a !!! I know there should be a eth2, because I can access the wlan with my nintendo DS and iPaq. I have read from some of the forum posts some older firmwares have a missing eth2. Therefore I upgraded to 1.9.2.7-7f today, however still no eth2. Where is my eth2? Help me find it. Ifconfig -a is below.
A secondary issue which is not as important, I see that sit0 (IP V6) is up even though I have ip v6 tunneling disabled. Will is hurt to down sit0? is there a service I can kill at startup so Ip v6 does not run?
Thank you in advance.
