Same here, enabling jffs is fine, but when trying to clean, it seems to hang. The web interface just says connecting and i left it run for about an hour. I telnet in and look at the processes and the only one that had the jffs had a /dev/NULL reference in the process. Could this be the issue? After that, any changes on save cause the browser interface to hang until disabling the jffs.
I'm trying to do the pixelserv adblock on the router. is there another method than using jffs?

Is there a way to clean the jffs from the command line? telnet, ssh? I suppose i could look through the source code to find out what is being done on mount and clean, but if there is a short answer.
After reading over the optware info, that may be a better way to go anyways, expanded storage?

Hi guys, just wanted to chime in here and thank everyone who is working on this project. All your hard work is very much appreciated. *Finally* this router can reach its potential.

THANKS!
Same here.
Thank you.
Can't wait for the official port. I'm quite new to the scene of custom firmware so don't want to brick my device.

Updating to revision 19963 or higher fixes the memory bug in the webui... However correct GPIO's need to be applied to the code, without that the reset button and power/lan leds should not function correctly.... I have been busy with my D1800H but I will try and get those to tahata so he can update his builds.

So the issue is in the ui and not in the actual cleaning of the jffs?

Currently the router database does not show this router in it. Since it is supported, can someone update it?
I don't believe that this is an official port
This router is supported by DD although it's pretty much an alpha build. It should at least be listed in the DB as supported and a WIP. Right now its not even in there.
On the supported devices page, it is listed as so.
We may know it's supported, but when newbies come to check out DD for their 4500, they'll follow the instructions of looking it up in the DB and it wont show. If DD doesn't want to update it, that's fine with me, but a lot of people will miss out.
Glad this build is finally turning into something.
nvram set jffs_mounted=1
nvram set enable_jffs2=1
nvram set sys_enable_jffs2=1
nvram set clean_jffs2=1
nvram set sys_clean_jffs2=1
nvram commit
reboot
left it run for an hour and nothing, frozen, then rebooting and setting to 0 froze as well. The mounting and unmounting definately are going through, somewhere is causing problems, but it is hanging regardless
Fractal, maybe you can chime in with any ideas on if the issues with the 5ghz side of things is possibly related to something off the main branch, or just not configured correctly in the current build?
Would really like to have that back, just not badly enough to go back to stock firmware yet.
Thanks again for the effort all! It's been pretty stable since install, I have noticed sometimes a reboot brings it back up to full speed so I've setup a weekly reboot for it. Otherwise everything else has been working well.

I have been busy testing the D1800H but got some time this weekend to put the wndr4500 on the bench.. Here is some things that are missing:
Can someone test the Wifi client mode of this firmware on the WNDR4500? Specifically, I need one of the wireless radios to act as a client/WAN port while the rest acts as a normal router.
