    Thank you Colin for taking the time to answer. Do you know if there is an optional package that can be installed that has it?

    fstab - custom

    Thank you Serpent for sharing this. I will do the changes as you suggested as it makes more sense. I was not aware about the swapon instruction. I think it is a nice feature. Is there a way to set the size of the swap? Thanks again.

    ipkg: can't resolve symbol '__ctype_b_loc'

    To whom it might interest: The firmware upgrade did not solve the issue (I lost jffs contents in the upggrade process :) ) The problem was, as Merlin stated, mixing Optware/Entware repositories. The solution was a clean reinstall only from Entware.

    ipkg: can't resolve symbol '__ctype_b_loc'

    You are absolutely right. I realized that I combined packages from optware & entware. I simply removed the asusware directory and reinstalled everything from scratch, but this time only entware packages. Now everything is ok. Thank you very much, RMerlin!

    Sorry about that. I read the readme but it was not that clear to me. My bad. So the init-start is the way to go. Thank you very much. PS. I will post my finding once I get my setup working.

    ipkg: can't resolve symbol '__ctype_b_loc'

    I realize that this is Linux related (not Asus, RT-N66U or Merlin's version), but can anyone please provide some assistance? Is it possible that a firmware rewrite/upgrade will solve this?

    Scheduled LED Control. NVRAM commits - wear out issue?

    Hello Merlin, just tested the scripts without the nvram commit and I confirm that it works as expected. I suppose the only small issue will be in case of a power failure when the router will reboot without the previous setting being commited. But I don't think this is something to worry...
