RT-N16 v24-k26 openvpn is happy.

USB micro sdcard 8gb dongle transfer speeds.
20mb / 200mb tested and drops to lowest 200mb = 2.1MB/s and 4.9MB/s over lan 100mb b44xx.

Wifi, Cpu load 100% during transfer = normal for this specific test, during this transfer wifi fluctuates down a bit but recovers nicely, 100% cpu load and wifi Rate drop is expected, 95% cpu and normal wifi Rate again.

40MW set during test, is ideal for what I need repeater open remote AP to wpa local v-ap and work perfect so far.

USB mounting works well, Optware on /opt and ntfs / fat32 correctly mounted.

Running nutcracker test "admin->command->dmesg" RT-N16 keep on running like normal.

Did not test any OTRW or Oleg Optware will test and report back.

So far 5* / stable v24-k26 openvpn on RT-N16.
Newd openvpn RT-N16 is not wifi happy on 1st flash.

Thanks Kong.

Well as promised, went ahead and flashed 17670 on my RT-N16:

USB STORAGE CONFIG:
disc0: 40GB 2.5" USB Drive (EXT3 formatted as follows: part1: optware, part2: swap, part3:data, part4:jffs)
disc1: 2 TB 3.5" USB Drive (EXT3 part1: 1.9TB single data partition)meant to be mounted on /mnt [but more about this later].

I have OTRW installed on the 40GB drive so before flashing I did the following:

FLASHING THE NEW FIRMWARE & DISABLING SOME REDUNDANT SCRIPTS FROM OTRW:
1. Took out the .rc_startup that Frater had suggested to ensure the /opt partition always mounted first and then rest.

2. Disabled (chmod -x) the following OTRW scripts under /opt/etc/init.d.

a) S00factdefault
b) S01fixparts
c) S10swap
d) S35automount

Note: I continued using OTRW installed SAMBA3.5.8 and continue getting 5-7MBps transfer speeds within my home network. I am happy with this, wish I could get 10MBps but hey... I think that is good enough for a little router.

3. Loaded the new firmware / reset to defaults

4. When it came back, filled in the SERVICES/USB tab with the UUIDs for /opt and /jffs and under SERVICES/NAS told it to use /tmp/disc1-part-1 as the storage mount point and rebooted.

5. Now I went ahead and ran my restore script from /opt/var/backups and rebooted

6. Finally, all my drives mounted the way they should and my previously installed OTRW scripts ran without any problems, included my automated OVPN client scripts, stophammer, asiablock, pixelserv, etc.

WIFI CONFIG / FEEDBACK:
I am in a somewhat remote area so I have my WiFi setup as follows:
Mode: AP, Network mode: Mixed, Channel: 6, C-Width: 40Mhz/upper
Security: WPA2Mixed/AES
Advanced: Power set at 17 mW (Kong: I thoght you changed the GUI label to say dBm?)

Performance: Rate reports a solid 300 Mpbs, when I connect using my Atheros AR5B97, connection reports 300Mbs, if I connect with an older system using Intel/Broadcom 54G card, the router reports 144Mbps.

CPU utilization is low and stable, have not done rigorous testing of transfer but I did notice the CPU cycles hit 100% quickly when I transfer any file over 500MBs in size.

Memory Utilization: is also stable, and swap is now handled by the Kong build.

NOW... for cosmetic and anal retentiveness' sake:

KONG: Tell me again why you don't offer an option to choose what you put on /mnt just like you do for /opt and /jffs?

I don't care if you mount the rest at /tmp/mnt/blablabla... but I like choosing a partition I can mount at /mnt. It that is not too much, keep in mind Please. :).

Generally speaking I am quite happy, I think you are doing close to God's work on these releases and you actually interact with us and respond. We were starting to get a complex. :)

Once again, thank you.

Thanks for the new build Kong, I noticed this version has a log of wireless related info appearing on syslog messages possibly due to additional wireless debugging being added. Is this debugging data usable to fix the wireless performance issues with the new drivers? Otherwise is it possible to disable the wireless related syslog debugging messages?

@Kong,

Maybe I missed something... but all the other BS or EKO builds I tried did not have /mnt tied to anything when you boot up.

So you were able to go ahead and mount the disc/partition of your choice to mount on /mnt (which also showed up as a choice for the ProFTP root directory).

Then, those of us that use OTRW, would find the additional partitions (besides /opt, /swap, /mnt and /jffs) on the /tmp directory as /tmp/c, /tmp/d, etc.

I'm not trying to be an arse here... but I have found no way to unlink /mnt with the /tmp/mnt/discX-partX and when I go to /mnt after booting, I find ALL the drives and partitions that have been mounted under /tmp/mnt.

So again, if there is a way for me to mannually unlink /mnt with /tmp/mnt let me know. I have no issues with you mounting all the drive/partitions under /tmp/mnt/xxx-xxx. I just want the option to select which partition to mount on /mnt.

BTW - would also love it if you disable that Broadcomm debugging message flood into the logs.

We need to get you an RT-N16 and a 3800 to test with. Maybe we can setup a donate button with Paypal on this site. If we divide the cost among many, it is peanuts and well worth it.

Guys Kong needs 2+ routers for development & testing, a ?? RT-N16 and a 3800 ?? , is there someone that can spare some cash for a donation or has a extra unit or someone that would buy a new one for Kong so that he can keep on doing the work he does ?

Kong if you can add a paypal donations something or other / similar for donations I am sure the guys could spare the price of 1 or more beers to help you get the routers.
Maybe say parts or cash or both donations, or make a deal with a local shop that can open a account or something for online donations then you can just go and collect the routers from them.

The broadcom drivers, you can get the broadcom-sta source and compile it same with the b43 drivers.
If you have RT-N16 GPL or one of the other routers GPL then the drivers should be in there, maybe not the newest but it should give you permission to update and work on it as long as you don't sell it / get money as payment for the product then it should be fine.
Donations is for your time not for your Kong-dd-wrt product or this is how it is in the USA last time I checked.

Question.... How do I get MiniDLNA and Privoxy in the same build?

Is there a way to have Privoxy + MiniDLNA in a build? if not,

Is there a way to install miniDLNA using say Optware? or any other way?

I currently have the MiniDLNA build installed, and had previously installed OpenVPN through Optware, so I get both working just fine. The problem is that I want to install Privoxy, and as I understand it, it only comes with the OpenVPN build. If I install that build, then I loose MiniDLNA.

Is there a way to install Privoxy through optware? without having to change builds to the OVPN one?

I would love to test any all in one builds that are bigger than 8MB.

My Wiki - http://www.techinfodepot.info

Kong said: Unfortunately both are pretty big apps, they don't easily fit together in the same build for 8MB flash units, unless I would remove a lot of other features. Basically you can either copy minidlna or privoxy from the builds to a usb device and then start it e.g. on mount. There is probably also an optware bin for privoxy, not sure if it has all the features builtin.

Ok, so please confirm the following:

If I just copy /usr/sbin/minidlna to /opt/sbin/minidlna and change my S99minidlna optware startup script to point to the new location; and then go ahead and upgrade the FW to the OVPN-Privoxy Build, I should 'theoretically' have both OVPN+Privoxy and Minidlna working... right?
