- Added libiconv-1.13.1.
- Added sftp-server from package openssh-5.9p1.

[b]After flashing this firmware you needed to reset settings for recreate directory /etc/storage.
Also you can manual delete file /etc/storage/start_script.sh and restart router instead of full reset.
Changes log from firmware 1.1.1.8e-b2:

I'm just wondering: how does supporting new hardware work here? A router has been donated a year ago now without a single peep from developers.
Is this normal and we can expect firmware "tomorrow" or does this mean that they don't intend to support this router?
I suppose ralink isn't exactly the most common CPU mfgr in the router realm, but there are routers, right? and supporting another one shouldn't be a nightmare?
Is there any developer info or opinion on this router support?

Changes log from firmware 1.1.1.8e-b3:
-------------------------------------------------
- Update Linux kernel to wive-rtnl trunc 2.5.x:
1) HW_NAT - fix mcast/bcast packets corrupt on PPE WiFi offload.
2) Netfilter - icmp conntrack fix.
3) Slab - fix memory leak.
- Fixed /etc/hosts resolver regression in uClibc-0.9.28.3.
- Fixed NAT issue (lost Internet access from LAN) on enable features
"BattleNET" and "Port Trigger".
- Fixed kernel oops on ipt_autofw.ko module unload ("Port Trigger").
- Enabled CONFIG_PM and CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC in kernel configuration.
- Removed more garbage from rc. ASUS Download Master is no longer supported.
- Reworked USB applications startup logic on start router and on USB hotplug.
- Added torrent Transmission 2.51. To start the torrent, you need to manually
create the directory "transmission" on target USB drive. Peer ports for
incoming connections is forwarded automatically after start torrent. Added
access control to Transmission RPC from WAN.
- Added tcp_syncookies control (prevent SYN flood attack) to WebGUI. Feature
tcp_syncookies disabled by default.
- Reworked project tree build logic, support all params from ".config" file.

Any news on this router? It looks like a router was donated to the devs a while ago with, but haven't seen whether or not they made any progress. Would love to get DD-WRT on this router. Thanks

I want dd wrt for this router too, but will be hard because is a ralink router.

2) Fix slub allocator work.
3) TCP implementation more RFC compatable.
4) Improve ipv6 support.
5) Fix SCSI rescan issue after USB storage hotplug.
6) Fix sysfs module registration regression.
- Added delay 3s before start print-servers on USB printer hotplug.
- Fixed reload user static routes for LAN.
- Fixed WAN down action for WAN static IP.
- Added Ralink hw_nat utility for debug HW_NAT states.
CAUTION!
These functions DO NOT WORK:
- WPS/WSC (temporarily disabled).
- ASUS Download Master is no longer supported. Replaced by Transmission.[/b]

Changes log from firmware 1.1.2.0-002:
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
- Update Linux kernel to wive-rtnl trunc 3.1.0:
1) NET: fix skb_allocate and headroom size calculation in some cases.
2) NATFastpath: Fix work with devices used headroom = 0(tun, tap, gre, etc...).
3) BRIDGE: fix br_handle_frame processing for host pkts and allow forwarding some link local frames.
4) TCP: reduce out_of_order memory use and speedup.
5) SK_FILTER: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory and speedup.
- Added new "Ribbon" WebGUI interface. Special thanks to eagle23.
- Added WiFi guest AP for 2.4 and 5GHz.
- Added WiFi feature AP-Client for 2.4 and 5GHz.
- Added VPN L2TP server xl2tpd (w/o IPSec, with support kernel driver pppol2tp).
- Replaced L2TP client rp-l2tp to xl2tpd (L2TP client can selected in the project configuration file).
- Fixed delay before PPTP/L2TP WAN connection established.
- Added CPU limitation control for prevent PPP session drop on very high CPU load during data transfer
(PPPoE w/o HW_NAT or PPTP/L2TP).
- Fixed RDP connections through VPN PPTP server with MPPE encryption.
- Changed firmware version build rule.
CAUTION!
These functions DO NOT WORK:
- WPS/WSC (complete disabled by big security issues).
- ASUS Download Master is no longer supported. Replaced by Transmission.
First Impression:
- Excellent addition of a new quick management for VPN credentials and
- a mac address field is now available for a simple shooting of WOL magic packets to your LAN equipment (even from WAN if you want).
Exactly what I was missing...
The "what's new / change.log" file is not available yet...
I'm curious to see what other mods have been applied.
Good job though!
