Hi,
I'd like to install an other firmware on Netgear VEVG2500. This is a quite rare product but an official firmware is available. The file is called VEVG2500_v07.00.02_with_Toolchain_src.zip and can be found on internet.
The matter is the firmware I have doesnt have an "update firmware menu".
The readme of the file mentionned above says:
This package is only supported on Fedora Core and Red Hat variants.How to install and build the open source packageYou should have the following files:• VEVG2500-1DYGES_toolchain.tar.bz2• VEVG2500-1DYGES.tar.bz2As root cd to /opt and install VEVG2500-1DYGES_Toolchain.tar.bz2 as follows:• tar –xvjf VEVG2500-1DYGES_toolchain.tar.bz2From your working directory install the source as follows:• tar –xvjf VEVG2500-1DYGES.tar.bz2To make the source package execute the following commands:• cd SW• make PROFILE=VEVG2500-1DYGES VENDOR=IFXThe resulting upgrade file “App.upg” can be found at SW/targets.IFX/VEVG2500-1DYGESThis upgrade file can be applied from the modem’s GUI upgrade page if option is available.
more recent open source firmwares are available here: http://kb.netgear.com/2649/NETGEAR-Open-Source-Code-for-Programmers-GPL (VEVG2500-1NCGES).
But I still dont know how to install them...
