The difference is actually described here: http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/wiki/NEWS
Oleg's last pre-10a-version is a bugfix, which doesn't include new features. The main improvement is new wireless drivers. This is long awaited update at least by users of wl500gPv2, where old drivers caused sometimes serious problems.

Hi,
first thx to Ily for this great job......
Anyhow, installed yesterday r160.trx (gpV1) and installed everything according wengis howto. Everything works stable, but when I want to umount, I get a problem:
umount /tmp/mnt/disc0_3 works fine, is part 3
umount /opt device or resource busy
well, of course, no opt sw should run, hence: /opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung stop
Even when I killall sw related and/or linked to any /opt folder, I get the same
message: device or resource busy
swopoff -a works
but it's strange - when I run fdisk /dev/discs/disc0/disc I can delete any partition and write the partition table. The only thing is, that I've found until now no way to reload kernels partition table. So it needs a reboot to reload the new part-table.
Can somebody confirm and/or has a solution?
For confirmation, I'll install oleg's and Ily's FW to my 2 wl500gp's, will report tomorrow.
Many thanks!

Edit: all what I wanna do is to umount with a script, because I wrote a script (not finished yet http://autoinstall.lima-city.de) to install everything faster......

newbiefan:
you can try the script from here:
http://www.wl500g.info/showpost.php?...3&postcount=37
it is further development of the pre-shutdown script

Take into account:
1) you may have something in cron which restarts processes (that is where I had problem which was not able to find for a long time), if so --- kill cron before anything.
2) kill everything which is started from pre-* and post-* files outside of rc.unslung explicitly
3) to have an effect from 'rc.unslung stop' some of the startup files should be rewritten, because some of them intended to perform only start
4) if you reboot or unmount from cmd-line you should login by user which uses /bin/sh as shell (and not /opt/bin/bash or so)

Finally, there should be no difference between oleg's and lly's firmwares in this respect. So, pay maximum attention to the lsof utility which actually can tell you which files are open by which application.

@ al37919
thanks for pointing me to a better script.......
Have taken care with ps axf to kill everything, even smbd, nmbd, vsftpd (from fw), just to avoid that any pointer points to /opt/var/log via syslogd even after a killall syslogd (that was my guess).
After long trials, I gaved up.......because I had no explanation, why fdisk has not called ioctl to re-read partition table, the only way to umount was the lazy one: umount -l /opt. When lazy unmounted, ioctl was called from fdisk.
Maybe, my install-script is the guilty guy........

Ok, have not installed yet the better shutdown script, because it should work the regular way. (Many thanks, I'll use the script soon!)

Well, then I've done a reset and installed fw again, guess what:
IT WORKS - hardly believable, but true.

Tomorrow or sunday, I'll give it a try to compile fw r160 in a friboli-linux (vmware) environment which I use to compile freetz. If successful, I'll report and write a short howto in engl. and german.

Many thanks again

Hi,

I have a quick question about the new firmware.

Do you know how I could get the router to log all WPA association attempts, so that I have a definitive record of which MAC addresses were associated at any given time?

Thanks,

Chris.

maybe I can manage to make a patch for that
