Can someone shine some light on why I'm getting this error message when I try to upgrade samba35 with the following command: ipkg-opt upgrade samba35?

[See output below]
root@myrouter:/tmp# ipkg-opt upgrade samba35
Configuring x11
//opt/lib/ipkg/info/x11.postinst: line 4: can't create /etc/nsswitch.conf: Read-only file system
cannot access `/etc/nsswitch.conf': No such file or directory
postinst script returned status 1
ERROR: x11.postinst returned 1
Nothing to be done
Successfully terminated.


This is the script (x11.postinst) that is blowing up:

#!/bin/sh

### fix missing nsswitch.conf, so "localhost" will resolve correctly
test -e /etc/nsswitch.conf || ( echo "hosts: files dns" >/etc/nsswitch.conf ; chmod a+r /etc/nsswitch.conf )
[/code]

Should this be written to /tmp instead of the read-only /etc directory?

Anybody else having issues with USB in the most recent build (DLNA version)? I had Optware semi-working with a previous version of Kong 17140, installed this version, wiped the drive to reinstall Optware, and now the router doesn't seem to recognize my USB hard drive at all - nothing listed mounted in web gui, nothing listed by using the mount command over telnet. Is this an issue with the build or is there something else I haven't considered?

ps - yes, I have looked at the settings for USB under Services, everything should be properly set up. Anyway it's the same as it was with the previous build, which recognized my USB drive.

If you use Atheros in laptop and you have set ACK-time to 0 then you can't connect. That will work if you only have Broadcom network adapter(s).  Set your ACK-time ex to 200mtr (100 mtr*2)

Interesting.  I did have the ACK-time to 0 and changed it back to default.  After I configured everything I do see some strange behavior.  My laptop with wireless N is able to connect but my other laptop with wireless G will not connect with the MIMO Transmission at a fixed rate (I chose the fixed rate at (15)144mbps).  I have set the wireless mode to mixed and NG-mixed but nothing for wireless G.  I am on wireless channel 1, which no one in my neighborhood is using.

I have this same problem on the Belkin 4301 >.< all my n clients get limited to 54mpbs on mixed or NG-Mixed. When I set MIMO Transmission to a higher rate the G and B clients can no longer connect.

Kong said: Hi thomas, the problem discussed here was related to the newer drivers, that came with the first 17140 build, so I rolled back the driver to a stable release. The latest download links point to the fixed release which stable drivers and you should not change the default setting for transmission rate etc. that was just a workaround for the broken drivers.

I'm using the lastest version but the rate never seems to get more than above 54Mbps, according to the router, sometimes jumps up to 108Mbps.

This is the status of my wireless N card when connected to the network. Speed: 65Mpbs. I will try it later when no G clients are connected.

Kong, in your next release is it possible you could delay startup of miniDLNA until all attached devices are mounted successfully, if you need to use a timer of some capacity, a couple of minutes should be fine i'd imagine.

I have a workaround startup script to ensure it launches correctly on boot, so if you can't be bothered for something so small don't worry :)
