Releases notes:

BUILD 090602
+ New AnnexB version!
* hd shutdown recover patch to kernel (thanks Sergey Lvov)
* New stupid-ftpd version with more fixes (thanks Sergey Lvov)
* e2fsprogs now are stripped down
- removed nls_ascii
+ New stupid-ftpd features:
+ users that begins with “admin” has access to ftp root “/” instead of “/ftp_pub/”
+ new config file for addition/changes is read after original one, no more need to do tricks to extend stupid-ftpd config: “/var/stupid-ftpd-alternate.conf”
+ New ADSL physical layer and new adsl*.ko + adslctl programs (MANY thanks to StefanV3 for finding and testing them).
+ adsl phy A2p023k/B2p023k (USR9113)
+ adsldd.ko d20e (Belkin F5D7633)
+ adslctl 1.0 (Belkin F5D7633)
+ New ADSL drivers compatible with dmt 8.07 - http://dmt.mhilfe.de/
+ cp866 cp1251 loaded by default (no more modules)
+ added wc command (try for example “wc -l /proc/net/ip_conntrack” for tuning your setup)

KNOWN PROBLEMS:
* in adsl statistics, SNR Margin, is 0.0 in up- and downstream. Attenuation shows SNRM values, Output-Power is showing values from attenuation and Attainable Rate shows Output Power. A little concern for a better ADSL driver and a complete compatibility with DMT: http://dmt.mhilfe.de/

For intermediate releases and more support from openwrt community see this thread on openWRT forums.

This firmware is mostly based on hacking and analyzing previous full banner and Blu3s M00d versions mods. Thanks to all communities that support this great piece of Hardware.

Many thanks goes also to: AndreyPopov, Sergey Lvov, StefanV3, Snakus and a lot of other people interested in this experiment.

As usual: No warranty, prepare to unbrick in case of failure (see http://domodossola.altervista.org/wl-600g/debrick.htm ).

hi. PPTP is supported by this firmware?

Permalink 2009-04-21 @ 00:48

Comment from: TheDrake [Member]

· http://www.drakeworld.net/blogs/drakeblog

Do you mean passthrough PPTP (client on LAN, server on WAN)?

I'm using it without problems, but it works with original firmware too.

I suspect you mean some other PPTP config.

Is there snmpd? :) as I understand it's from busybox, but nothing about it here :( ? Maybe then it could be added as binary and start from /var/harddisk/asus/sbin or elsehow?

reason > collect statistics on another server with cacti....

SNMP should be working with Asus original firmware too. Just enable it via telnet interface and reboot router.

You should configure and enable SNMP (menu management/snmp) and enable access via LAN (menu management/access control).

Comment from: yurka [Visitor]

thanx :) I'll try it (was confised 'couse can't find anything about snmp (snmpd) when in sh (and bash) on router.
should it present in $ ps after it?
and another stupid question :) is there any analog of $ netstat -na ? :)

Yes, "snmp" process is visible via "ps".

Yes, netstat -na is present too in this build.

Hi!

please, please make Annex-B also. Your firmware finally adds some things I always wanted to have (mainly MediaTomb).

Hi!
"Large file support": which modules support this feature? stupid-ftpd, busybox, samba?

Does your firmware have NARS reconnect patch?

Comment from: TheDrake [Member]

· http://www.drakeworld.net/blogs/drakeblog

@yurka: fixed link, sorry & thanks.

@he6y3u: I'll try with latest ADSL phy ASAP. Thanks a lot for links, I didn't know about them. Hope them work.

@rex: MediaTomb should work also on other firmwares (is statically linked). I'll try building Annex-B, after some more patches requested by users. Please be patient. :)

@Sergey: Large file support is for Kernel, Busybox, mediatomb, mt-daapd and Samba for shure. Never tested with stupid-ftpd, could works. You should have an EXT2 or ETX3 partition however... About NARS patch: I'll check for it and I'll include it.

Permalink 2009-04-21 @ 13:40

Comment from: Sergey [Visitor]

As far as I know stupid-ftpd doesn't support large files by default. There are some limitations in source code. You can find detailed information here:

@Andrey Popov: what do you mean with "Always enabled telnet"?

In next release snpcfg.html will be enabled.

Don't know how enable daylight saving. Any hints?

@Zambu: I'm working on cross-compiling transmission too.

Permalink 2009-04-24 @ 13:18

Comment from: Andrey Popov [Visitor]

always enabled telnet - NOT need save cfg, edit and load again to access router by telnet. this method not right, because if change any settings on Management->Access than telnet settings in cfg reset.

exist /var/services.conf file where this setting store. are you make that always in services.conf telnet set to "1".

about nntp - may be need patch or new version of nntp client.
why daylight saving no supported in current nntp - don't know.
in other routers like wl-500 series daylight saving work.

Hey Drake,
This looks great. I will try it when I get home on my wl600g. I've wanted to make this router download torrents and media for quite a while.
Also I want to be able to stream downloaded media from the hdd if possible. I noticed that the broadcom usb is operating at 1.1 speeds normally so streaming is impossible at 150kps. Is your firmware any faster with the usb?
Nice work mate.

@Joe Wawick:

wl-600g does not use broadcom 1.1 usb chip, but VIA usb 2.0.

I can get 1.5Mbps via FTP in lan. Please get latest version from forum link until I'll post next in blog.

Hello, TheDrake! Thanks you very much for the firmware. Could you please include in next version UDP-to-HTTP Proxy, like updxy - http://sourceforge.net/projects/udpxy/ for IPTV or any other utility with similar functionality. I've tied to compile and use it myself on WL-600g, no luck, perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

In this firmware, some scripts execute by pressing ez-setup button? (for example, on wl-500 execute /usr/local/sbin/ez-setup)

I want switch Wi-Fi on/off by pressing ez button, but dont know, what event execute by ez button press in this firmware?

Wi-Fi switching worked on my wl-600g by command:
ip l show dev wl0 | grep -q UP && ip l set dev wl0 down || ip l set dev wl0 up
