    OpenWRT Firmware for NETGEAR R7800 Official Release

    Seems people can't get it to work: http://www.myopenrouter.com/forum/firmware-availability-netgear-r7800

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.51 Beta 1 is out

    OK, so it's expected behavior, not something unique to .51b1. I'll modify my script to check if /dev/sda1 exists, and if so, wait for it to be (re)mounted before attempting to run a script on it :) On the wiki, the entry for services-start says: "After all other system services have been...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.51 Beta 1 is out

    I know, and I hadn't (intentionally). I'd done a factory reset when upgrading to .50, manually re-setup the router, a few days before trying .51b1. I had not installed optware (or any 'USB App') inbetween, plus I used the provided 'entware_setup' script, which I assume protects us from our...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.51 Beta 1 is out

    For some reason, the 'ln -sf $1/entware.arm /tmp/opt' line in post-mount wasn't overwriting an existing symbolic link to optware. But on further investigation, there's something much stranger going on. 'disk monitor' is unmounting /dev/sda1 right after it mounts, and isn't remounting it for...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.51 Beta 1 is out

    I saw the addition of qnapware in the changelog, and just updated my AC87U from .50 to .51 beta 1 Using the 'entware_setup.sh' script seems to run to completion fine, and everything seems to be working as I'd expect, e.g. opkg update, opkg install asterisk11, asterisk -vvvc works, etc. I see...

    netflow probe

    Hi Eric, would you consider adding ipt-netflow to the list of modules you build? It still hasn't been upstreamed to the kernel mainline sadly, despite being ~6 years old. It claims to support 2.6.18 - 3.11 kernels. Thanks, - Paul http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipt-netflow/...

    Shell snippet for automating cron script registration at boot

    Here's a little snippet of shell script, intended to go into the services-start script in /jffs/scripts. It scans the USB drive for files having a .cron extension, and for each of those it finds, scans for a comment line containing 'cron:' and uses what follows to register that schedule using...

    Best hardware for VPN client

    This post might be a little off-topic for this section, but it seems relevant to the question 'Best hardware for VPN client'. The Ubuquiti Networks EdgeRouter Lite is worth a mention. It has high throughput, particularly for the price. It supports OpenVPN (along with the other usual...

    Linux File Server (NAS)

    Glad to help. And yes, I registered to answer it :) I was in your position several years ago, and am coming up to the point where it needs to be overhauled again. Understood, though with the caveat that upgrades may cost you as much as adding another server appliance from the likes of...

    Linux File Server (NAS)

    There are so many choices, and trade-offs, it becomes a very personal set of choices. There really isn't a 'best' choice, and you will probably find that your needs change over time, and so what's 'best' now may not be in six months. You might want to take a look at a Drobo, connected to...
