[HowTo] Part One - WL-500g Premium

[KingGuru]

I'm kinda new to this router linux world, but I've decided to take out the parts I need from the guide.
and start with dropbear, cuz ssh would be nice to use when out in the world
when I have folowed the instruction, made the key, and the script.
the thing is, that I can't just start dropbear.. nothing happens (I expect something to happen, since you made the remark with playing with it)

Anything I need to do before this guide (use 1.9.7.2.f7)

Do a ps and if dropbear is running then thats it.
Then use e.g. putty from a PC to ssh into it.

The first time you connect putty should ask you if you want to save the key from the ssh server (dropbear) on your Asus.

Got it.. apperently I forgot to save

but anyway.. I have trouble with the transmission for torrent. I get a file not found when I try to access the page /cgi-bin/trans....

I have installet it with the ipkg system..

I'am a newbie with Linux. (Yes anotherone...)

I use the following firmware from Oleg: WL500gp-1.9.2.7-7f.trx

During this manual i have 3 errors.

ipkg install mc cannot find package mc
ipkg install ctorrent ERROR: cannot satisfy the following dependencies
for ctorrent: libstdc++
ipkg install nload ERROR: cannot satisfy the following dependencies
for nload: libstdc++

Can anyone help me?

[pinkpanther]

MMhhmmm....

Some things aren't as difficult as they seem.

I did -ipkg install libstdc++- and now ctorrent and nload installed correctly.

Leaves one question: How to get MC?

I had the same problems as most people here

When you make your partionstions make 2 primary partiotions, do not make any extrended ones. MC wont install since it has been removed from the repository, just skip it unless you know what you are doing. As pinkpanter said, you have to install libstdc++ before you try to install ctorrent.

Instead of putting
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/busybox_httpd -p 8008 -h /opt/share/www
in post-mount, put it in post-firewall and you should be fine!

Regards to the samba problem the solutions has already been described,
if your content of /opt/etc/init.d/S97Samba is:

#!/bin/sh /usr/sbin/smbd -D -l /opt/var/log/smbd.log -s /opt/etc/samba/smb.conf /usr/sbin/nmbd -D -n myasus -o -l /tmp -s /opt/etc/samba/smb.conf

then you should set you hostname in the webinterface (IP config / WAN & LAN / Hostname) to myasus

From what I can tell samba and bittorrent works much better now then with the original asus firmware, many thanks to oleg and to marcnesium!!
