New oleg firmware version

[al37919]

he actually meant that the kernel modules to support jffs are already built and available in the file modules-1.9.2.7-d-rXXX.tgz here: http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/downloads/list

To use it you need to familiarize yourself with the documentation on this file system, or have a look how it is implemented, e.g. in openwrt.

How can I install the jffs? insomd jffs.o and then......?

and then you need to create jffs/jffs2 partition instead flashfs mtd block and so on.
search google,

and beware, firmware is pretty sure that there's flashfs, but not jffs.
moreover, choosing wrong mtd block could (and I'm afraid will) brick your router

a bit complicated. is there mtd already compiled in the oleg firmware? how to uninstall flahfs? flashfs is only 64k, right?

Anyone can help?

I tried to plug in a ntfs thumb drive, I can see that under telnet, the NTFS drive is mounted (can be found under /tmp/mnt) and the file can be listed using ls. However, when I tried to use the explorer to open the share folder via samba in windows, the directory cannot be found. Why is that?

I tried to create a post-mount script to load in the 936 codepage, how to restart the samba service? commands pls!

[weixing]

found a bug in the firmware:

I've done the following to enable codepage 936
1) mount the codepage file to /usr/codepages
2) modified /etc/smb.conf to add in "client code page = 936" in global section
3) created /usr/sbin/.files to include /etc/smb.conf
4) the samba config web page (dos code page set to "unspecified")
5) flashsh save, commit, enable (can see that /etc/smb.conf is included)

However, when I reboot the router or mount a new disk, the line "client code page = 936" just disappears from the etc/smb.conf file. appears that smbd resets and write to the smb.conf everytime it mounts/restarts and remove the custom setting.

Can author add a section in samba setup web page for a field to include custom code page paramater "client code page = 936" when unspecified codepage is selected?

If you start samba from GUI, this is expected behavior for all Oleg based FW's.

Good idea, but we are too busy to do it now. If someone can prepare patch for this, it will be done much faster.
As workaround you can set manually

nvram set usb_smbcpage_x=936

How can I start samba from the post-boot script manually (which includes auto-mounting of USb drives)? the samba command line appears a bit different for oleg version

First of all, samba itself has nothing with auto-mounting.
Command line is equal in all FW's, only config is differ

/usr/sbin/nmbd -D
/usr/sbin/smbd -D

Heard that samba3 solve the current Chinese character problem, can the oleg firmware install samba3?

I've successfully loaded codepage 936 finally with oleg. Is there anyway to load utf-8 codepages?

[wpte]

coming back on the DNS problems I have...
I just reflashed the firmware again (via tftp) and set up everything manually.
but it doesn't seem to make any difference

I didn't even set advanced stuff, just the things needed to connect to the internet, very basic.
And still the same results

multiple applications suffer from this slow resolving...
I think there is just something that's not entirely right.
like with the scsi start/stop utilities on googlecode, it sometimes works half, even when I restart the script or try it manually, the only fix is a reboot.


EDIT:
it seems not to matter if dnsmasq is running or not, it just has the same result on nslookup!

I have filesnames originally in utf8 coding, contains simplified chinese, traditional chinese and japs characters in the filename for different files. Should I install samba3 or can use certain codepages in order for Windows xp to display the samba shared filenames correctly? If samba2 is ok, what's the codepage I need to install?
