Thank you LOM.

I extracted the CFE (the url didn't work in browser, I used wget method from command line) and it seems I have the 2006 version, 'cause
"strings cfe.bin | grep 2006"
returns
"12 22:21:19 CST 2006".
I will send you the CFE anyway.

Thank you!

yes, it is the 2006 CFE and I was hoping that maurer had a later one.
The WL-500W CFE based on the same driver and compiled at roughly the same date did among other things cause radio instability and the WL-500W has to be updated to a 2007 build to overcome those problems.

I suspect it is the same case with 500gP v1 and that maurer has a later CFE than yours since he doesn't have any radio problems.

Well, maurer has a different wireless module inserted in the Asus board, and I suspect it's a different chipset.
I did a fresh install again yesterday, with 30/30/30 reset, I can connect to the router trough wireless, but the speed is very low (100-200 Kbps instead of 2-3 MBs) and unstable with K26.
I will try to find a newer CFE.


Thank you.

Later edit:
I searched for a newer CFE (newer than my 2006) but I could only find 2005 and 2006 versions (on CFE dump thread). Anything else I can do to make it work?

I got the cfe from maurer and it is indeed a later version than yours, still from 2006 though.

Your's is version 3.91.7.0 while maurer's is 3.91.23.0, and I'm positive that this is the reason for your wireless problems.

The date string is inserted by the compiler at compile time and the developer has unfortunately used Chinese setting on his computer so the day and the month are from a Chinese character set, hence the strange display of the date string.

OK, great!
Should I dare to write that version on my router?
I can disassemble it and maybe see what's different.

Thanks.

Yes, if you know what you are doing then it should be risk free to update.
No jtag on this router afaik so it will be difficult to unbrick if you do something wrong.

Thanks.

I successfully upgraded the bootloader and DD-WRT to build 14311 K26. Wireless worked much better, at first, but...i don't know if it's related...later started to have problems, I cannot connect anymore using wireless, tested with 2 clients, I see the network on the client, I see the client MAC on the router trying to connect, but it doesn't connect. dmesg keeps saying:

Code:

br0: topology change detected, propagating
br0: port 1(vlan0) entering forwarding state
device vlan0 left promiscuous mode
br0: port 1(vlan0) entering disabled state
device vlan0 entered promiscuous mode
br0: port 1(vlan0) entering learning state
device br0 left promiscuous mode
device br0 entered promiscuous mode
device br0 left promiscuous mode
device br0 entered promiscuous mode
device vlan1 entered promiscuous mode
device vlan1 left promiscuous mode
br0: topology change detected, propagating
br0: port 1(vlan0) entering forwarding state


Edit...
It seems that the wireless works OK only until the first reset. After that I get strange behavior, unencrypted connection is not even detected, the encrypted one is detected, but the clients cannot connect.

Edit2...
The problem is that eth1 is excluded from lan_ifnames nvram variable at each reboot.

Thanks.

Are there working CFE's for 350n or 600n(v1.1) that will allow for k26 builds to run?

I decided to upgrade my WRT160n v1.1 to k2.6 with 13527 and it worked perfectly, but when I upgraded to 14471 it became bricked and I had to serial flash it back to life. Was anything that had to do with the kernel version changed? K2.4 with newd 2 also works with any firmware version.

AFAIK this is a K2.6 only device.

Nope, the v3 is a k2.6 only device, and the 160n I tested was actually a v1.1, sorry about that.

Linking myself to this discussion...
I`ve got an Asus WL500Gp V1. Flashed brains K26 (dd-wrt.v24-14537_NEWD-2_K2.6_big) onto it. Because of samba3 and ntfs-3g I need this damn kernel upgrade Wink.
After flashing everything works except the wireless lan connection. DD-WRT reports radio is on. Checked the settings over and over againg but I couldn`t find a solution why my other devices can`t find the access point.
Same issue as 0sAND1s: wl:ver ->wl driver adapter not found
My CFE is 3.91.7.0 (the old one). I followed your discussion and think thats the point.

0sAND1s can you supply me with the new CFE (and maybe with informations how to upgrade it?). Thanks.
Have you found a solution for the wlan instability after reset. wanna try myself and see if my 500g is acting different than yours.

I hope my english is not that bad that you havn`t understand my issues Smile

Sorry for the late reply.
My problem with the wireless connection is that eth1 (the wireless one) is excluded from lan_ifnames nvram variable at each reboot. I don't know what's causing that, but I've seen some modifications in the later builds that affect lan_ifnames variable. I will flash the last build and try again.
For K2.6, the correct command for wl is "wl -i eth1 ver", so that's not an issue.
You can manually set the correct configuration after each reboot using the VLANS tab, the wireless combo box, should be set to LAN instead of None.
I will PM you the CFE. The instructions to update it are here: http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/CFE_backup .

Edit1:
With the latest BS build 14594, the problem still persists...eth1 is removed from lan_ifnames.
