Custom 1.0.7.8 firmware is ready to download

[kfurge]

as you can see from the above diagram, from System two, I have no problem accessing mldonkey's http webui. However, I'm not able to from System One, which I was able to before. Any ideas?

If the firewall is enabled, you will have to punch a hole through it for the mldonkey http port. Otherwise nobody on the 192.168.3.x network will be able to attach. Maybe you initially didn't have the firewall enabled? If it's on, maybe you should disable it?

Regarding your network configuration... It seems a little strange... Is there a reason why you have it this way? Why not make the wl700g an AP and keep everything on the same network?

What about connecting to the Mldonkey web interface (or via sancho) from the outside (WAN)? Is that possible?

I could pretty easily make this configurable like wan SSH access.

tion and Im very newbie.
I don't know how to chgrp. ?
Could you give me more detail fro fix this problem ?

I'm unclear what your problem(s) are... Regarding chgrp, there are plenty of on-line linux manpages. Google "chgrp manpage".

Regarding your wget problem, I think your path is messed up. You must have /opt/bin and /opt/sbin before /bin and /sbin. The wget on the router must not be good enough.

i started one big well seeded torrent ~40peers 500-700kb/s download= 80% cpuload, like to hear more mldonkey-experience on the wl700 here greetz

edit: setting share_scan_intervall=0 try this too

I set share_scan_interval = 0 and also ED2K-max_sources_per_file = 100.
MLDonkey keeps occupying 85-99% of CPU, but it doesn't seem to affect whole system performance. Web surfing and file access are pretty fast. eDonkey downloading is also OK - about 1Gb per day.

haha. Kfurge, I feel stupid. it's really the firewall...

I will be using wl700ge as the main AP as soon as I have it setup and persuade my brother to get rid of the WRT54g.

one question about mldonkey's download speed limit.. I use it primary for BT. I notice in all my downloads speed will never go pass the 20k/s mark.

i've tried the change the max_hard_download_rate to any values over 20, but it wouldn't let me. however, my max_hard_download_rate_2 = 150.

any ideas on this as well? thanks in advance!

I suspect it's related to your network topology again. Other BT peers can't connecto to your wl700g through the linksys router. Because of this your download speed will be throttled back. You will need to configure your linksys router to forward your BT port to the wl700g.

That would be cool! Thanx!

I just flashed again with 2nd release of Kfurge firmware... and it worked similary to the 1st time... it started uploading the image, then screen went blank, and nothing happened... internet was functional the whole time. then I pressed on/off button, but it just went offline (ready off), and when I pressed again - i saw ready blinking 3 times!!! which means that it even didn't require power-cycle to apply new firmware!?? Weird, but it works :-)

Hi !

I thank you Kfurge (and everyone else who is contributing) for the effort your are doing to the ASUS. I just downloaded and installed your latest 1.0.7.8-firmware. Everything seems to be working nicely, except that telneted into the router and trying to issue the command 'ipkg update' gives me this error:

"
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/op...le/Packages.gz
wget: missing URL
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...

Try `wget --help' for more options.
An error ocurred, return value: 1.

/cross/stable/Packages.gz'
WARNING: Unable to remove temporary directory: : No such file or directory"

So i figured there were some error with the wget and tried running the command 'ipkg install wget' and got this message:

"Package wget (1.10.2-4) installed in /opt/ is up to date.
Nothing to be done
Successfully terminated.
WARNING: Unable to remove temporary directory: : No such file or directory"

So it seems to be latest wget already installed with your firmware, but what about the error I receive trying to issue the command 'ipkg update" ? What does this mean "WARNING: Unable to remove temporary directory: : No such file or directory" - where is this temp directory ?

Thanks,
Hytekk

Hi !
"WARNING: Unable to remove temporary directory: : No such file or directory" - where is this temp directory ?

Thanks,
Hytekk

I have this also when I do this as non-root user.
So, do this before:
sudo bash -l
and try again.

Thanks for your reply mumsoft !

I have tried that and when i read your answer i even resetted by asus to the default settings. After that i logged in as admin with the pw admin and i still get the same error:

My guess: KC Furge has used root as user, not admin. I think that you use password based access, that is, have no other users than admin, which you also use for the web interface.
So maybe this helps: change to UBSA. That will create the user root for you.
Then, after logging in as admin, you should be able to use sudo bash -l and see:
Password: ....
[root@WL700gE /]$

This will probably do it.

Hi again and thanks for your quick response !

I did what u told me to and activated userbased passwords, created a user called hytekk with a password, then telneted into the router and logged on as user hytekk. And as u can see i then issued the following commands - but still i get the same error. (The directory BACKUP is a directory i created just to play around with chown/chmod-settings, figuring that that might cause the problem.

[hytekk@WL700gE BACKUP]$ whoami
hytekk
[hytekk@WL700gE BACKUP]$
[hytekk@WL700gE BACKUP]$ sudo bash -l

Any more clues?

Thanks in advance,

[kfurge]

Any more clues?

I think you have something very fundamentally broken. I tested package update and add, as root, in both UBSA and PBSA modes. Shouldn't matter either way as root is always present in /etc/passwd regardless of the mode.

Did you complete all of the steps referenced here:

http://wl700g.homelinux.net/drupal/?q=node/187

If so then please post the outputs of "mount" and "echo $PATH".

Well, I'm never out of ideas, no matter how bad they turn out eventually.
I just tested ipkg update as root, but I have now the original /opt from the firmware, that is not writable. Guess what I got...

[root@Sneeuwwitje /]$ ipkg update

But I really think this is too simple...
Or is it???
