yes the problem is the automout scrip , just turn off the automout service

I noticed that opkg now seems to work. Running 'opkg update' create a list of installable packages from the Openwrt repository without any error messages. Curious if someone have installed and tested a package from this repository?
I've noticed that previously installed packages with ipkg-opt are marked as uninstalled in the opkg-list.

Update: I tried installing the editor nano as a test. Installation works fine but after installation nano is just available from the installed dir /opt/usr/bin & by entering ./nano not just 'nano'. Runs fine though. The path includes /usr/bin?

If you execute command:

env

you should see:

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/jffs/sbin:/jffs/bin:/jffs/usr/sbin:/jffs/usr/bin:/mmc/sbin:/mmc/bin:/mmc/usr/sbin:/mmc/usr/bin:/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:/opt/usr/sbin:/opt/usr/bin

so it should work

@slobodan, I checked minidlna vob support and there hasn't been any change. Could be a bug in the newer minidlna version. I haven't checked dhcp with linux boxes yet.

@KongE3000, sounds like this is due to the dd-wrt change that also broke some NAT functionality. This should be fixed by dd-wrt along with my fix I already added to trac

Kong:
Output of my 'env' command is as follows:
login as: root
DD-WRT v24-sp2 king (c) 2012 NewMedia-NET GmbH
Release: 03/17/12 (SVN revision: 18730M)
Enhanced with OTRW


LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/jffs/lib:/jffs/usr/lib:/jffs/usr/local/lib:/mmc/lib:/mmc/usr/lib:/opt/lib:/opt/usr/lib
PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/opt/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/jffs/sbin:/jffs/bin:/jffs/usr/sbin:/jffs/usr/bin:/mmc/sbin:/mmc/bin:/mmc/usr/sbin:/mmc/usr/bin

i.e /opt/usr/bin is missing in the path

Copying the nano executable to /opt/bin takes care of it. I can easily fix this in my startup file but it might be a good idea to include /opt/usr/bin in the path for future builds.

I changed S05chngProfile, worked too. Do you know if this change is 'global' i.e work for all of Fraters scripts? I noticed that almost all his scripts contains a path-statement.

Hi, I think I have solved the DNSMasq with Linux problem:

First, in Security / Firewall uncheck Filter WAN NAT Redirection. Click Apply.

Second, in Services / Services check Use NVRAM for client lease DB, set Used Domain to LAN and WLAN, type your domain in LAN Domain.

Set DNSMasq Enable, Local DNS Enable, No DNS Rebind Enable, and under Additional DNSMasq Options type:

local=/yourdomainname/
expand-hosts
user=root

(Take care: no domain=yourdomainname entry!)

Click Apply.

Third, under Setup / Basic Setup choose:

DHCP Type: DHCP Server
DHCP Server Enable
Check Use DNSMasq for DHCP, Use DNSMasq for DNS and DHCP-Authoritative. Click Apply.

Pardon the noobish question but can't find this info anywhere.
Can I flash the stdkong - build 18050M or 18730 file (usb-ftp-samba3-vpn-nv60k-broadcom.bin) to my Linksys E2000 (Converted WRT320N)
I know it work on E3000s but what about E2000 ? From readme "Builds labeled nv60k are suitable for Linksys E3000 / 4200"
So guess E2000 is no go.

I'm not sure. Ask this in the forum at dd-wrt.com. My two cents are: if you are able to flash it with a DD-WRT nv60k build, then recent Kong builds should also work, since they don't radically differ from DD-WRT standard builds. According to http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_E2000 , your router accepts nv60k builds, if you know how to flash them. But I would stay with DD-WRT 14929 unless you need miniDLNA or such.

Thanks slobodan

I have tested DD-WRT nv60k builds without any problems.
My goal is to find best firmware for wireless 5GHz-only, 40MHz band width. I've been running 15962 on my E2000s and it is OK better than 17990, 18000 and 18024.. I'm just trying new builds to attempt to boost the wireless performance.
Someone at DD-WRT forum with E3000 said thet he run stdkong - build 18050M for few weeks now and have only positive comments about it.
My problem is that wireless link speed is around 162Mbps with DD-WRT builds as reported by Windows 7 on laptop in same room as router.
Compared to around 250-300Mbps on stock firmware (FW_E2000_1.0.04.007_US_20101201_code.bin).
For some odd reason on stock firmware only the lower four channels as 36, 40, 44, and 48 are available.
File download over wireless connection is also much faster on stock firmware.

But stock firmware substantially reduces the distance from router where I can get speed around 54Mbps. I have to bump Tx power to 100mW (this can be done only on DD-WRT) only than I get decent connection in other room 12m from router and wall between them. When I'm close to router 60mW seems to work best.

2.4GHz is no option for me because it is overcrowded with people are all over the channels. Got my other router working somehow on channel 13.

Hi slobodan

Well I didn't want to "Hijack" this thread with unnecessary details. But my router is behind a IPcop 2.0.4 firewall.
During my test firewall of E2000 was disabled if you mean Security -> Firewall -> Firewall Protection -> SPI Firewall (Disable).
As I understand DD-WRT use driver from linsys, mybe new driver in FW_E2000_1.0.04.007_US work just better for 5GHz. Or you need to play more "Advanced Wireless Settings" that are not available in GUI
Btw is there a way to look what parameters stock firmware use eg.
# wl ver,
# wl interference?

cheers /pennred

Naa I'll will play with TX Power. When I'm close to router 60mW and when I go to other room behind wall 12m from router 100mW. Well 5GHz has a shorter range and does not penetrate walls well I just didin't know it will be that much worse. The 2.4Ghz band is strong thru out the house, no issues with signal strength.

yes, i tried to install mc and nano and opkg downloads packages, says it's installing to root and then ash prompt. when i run with debug option their are no errors displayed. list and list-installed do not work. can't run nano or mc with ./nano or nano. nano not found. don't see the executable anywhere in file system.
also, i can't get minidlna to work but i think it's just mount locations and paths that are the problem. all three external disc partitions mount to /mnt/disc0-part1 /mnt/disc0-part2 and /mnt/disc0-part3. i find this confusing. i designated these in web gui as /mnt /opt and /jffs. how is opkg supposed to install my downloaded packages to the external, mounted /opt if it is mounted under /mnt as disc0-part2? is it supposed to be like this and i'm supposed to do some post configuring or did i misconfigure something prior to mounting, or is this a bug?

so far all the rest seems to be fine. and thanks.
