What would you add to a 1.0.7.8 firmware image

[kfurge]

Ok, I've been taking notes and here's what I have so far (in my order of priority):

Top priority:
All of my patches applied (cpu load, entropy, etc.)
HDD spin down (fixed first, then configurable)
Workable command line environment (bash, ipkg, termcap, tz, busybox, default profiles, etc.)
Dropbear
CUPS to replace printd
Updated mt-daapd
Latest Samba
Web server (lighttpd)
Separate web interface for enhancements
Replacement BT client (MLDonkey)
Cron

Good idea:
User editable FW rules
Editable configuration of dnsmasq
knockd
ISO mounting
fail2ban
wondershaper

Not general enough (must add via ipkg):
Mail server
Syslog-ng
python, perl, php, mysql
hellanzb/nget

Don't know how to do / can't test:
WPA security
appletalk/netatalk

Very difficult:
Changing default from /shares/MYVOLUME1/MSHARE1

Already there:
Swapfile (512Meg)
Fixed IP for a given MAC

If you don't like how I've classified a request and would like it to be reconsidered, please post a compelling argument. Maybe others will chime in and support you.

Only one word can fully describe my enthusiasm: woot!

Not so good:

Top priority:
Updated mt-daapd - too heavy, the better choise is uShare
Web server (lighttpd) - why for? not wanted for most users (use ipkg install for profs.)
Dropbear - the same. not for the most users.

My suggsestion:
1. Two interfaces for WAN (PPPoE/ppptp + LAN) - there are problem in this topic. if you try to create two WAN interfaces like this:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 up

, after PPPoE get reconnect, all settings for eth0 will be lost and you get only ppp0 interface still workable. This is great problem for users having LAN with PPPoE internet access: just only internet via PPPoE or just only LAN.
2. the MTU problem for white box. If you set MTU value via web interface, it's work only for your home network but not for whitebox, so to use white box as server you should set

ifconfig ppp0 mtu xxxx

to make you box work properly.

P.S. kfurge, please contact me via PM, i just want to ask you some advise about LAN+PPPoE problems to make right way to solve this problem and i'm ready to share my lifelength for 1.0.7.8 firmware image

Hey, any news on the kfurge 1.0.7.8 image? :-)

Hi!

Sorry, i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for it - but is it possible to install an IMAP server on the WL700ge? Does this affect what needs to be part of the firmware?
