aria2 as download manager/ torrent client (use it with screen)
Removed OpenVPN (maybe I will include it again - reason? slow.)
Removed DDNS (since there is no free dyndns service)
Removed NTFS support since the best way is to use EXT4 with NFS
Removed QoS since scripts are broken.
Removed NFS-Kernel-Server (NFS shares) - I think copying directly from USB is better, the router's cpu is too crappy. You can always use SSH (SCP) to get file from router but the speed is horrible.
Improved DHCP for IPv6

There is a new partition scheme in this build (well, from now on), but I don't think it is different from the usual mtd -r write <image_name> linux.
However, be sure to have the recovery image just in case. As always, I can't test this build, so please let me know.

Kernel 3.10.12?

https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/38031/

Finally the 3.10.x family is coming for this router ;)

Stay tuned.

[Buffalo WBMR]Reverto to DD-WRT from OpenWRT

I saw this interesting post and I wanted to share with you.

OpenWRT ------> DD-WRT

Trunk is broken right now, so new builds for now ;).

Buffalo WBMR - OpenWrt trunk build R37859 - Annex A - Test build (rtorrent - NFS)

What's inside:
IPv4 + IPv6
UPNP+NAT-PMP 
NFS-Kernel-Server (NFS shares) *new* 
NTFS-3G 2013.1.13
USB mounts support (USB 2.0 with NTFS, EXT4) - ubox script *new* 
rtorrent+screen

Changelog:
rtorrent replaces transmission
binutils 2.23.1
nfs-kernel-server replaces pure-ftpd because it is the fastest way to transfer files
NFS - Openwrt WIKI
To access a NFS mountpoint from Windows you can use this: Jftp

This is a test build for who wants to use (well, try) rtorrent instead of transmission(too heavy for this router).
It would be great if someone will post some feedback ;)

FTP config and test

Yesterday I set up the ftp server on my router and I wanted to share my experience.
I used a crappy usb pendrive formatted in ext2 and I got 3MB/s of speed copying a 500mb file.

It sure was easy setting up the ftp server, just login to SSH and do "pureftpd &"
Now you can access the ftp (I used filezilla) with your root login.

Next time I will test NFS.

About transmission, I tried to download 2 torrent simultaneously (ubuntu and archlinux iso) but the router became unresponsive after a while(really slow web interface and high cpu load).

Would be awesome to hear about your speed and config.

What's coming soon..

I have been busy with my job, but I am going to release a new build this sunday (August 11th).

New ath9k wireless driver with various fixes for tx queues ;)

Buffalo WBMR - Recovery Image updated (firmware.ram) - 2013/07/31

Updated firmware.ram for recovery.

This is a ramdisk for annex A but it works also for annex B (of course there is no DSL connectivity, but this is just a ramdisk).

Remember to rename the file to firmware.ram

I skipped the ipv6 build because there is a problem with luci (reported) and I don't have time to test it until april.

Since I am moving to Japan, this will be the latest build for this month.

Hope to build a new one in February ;)

WBMR IPv6 Status

I just compiled a new trunk version with IPv6 support (ipv6-support opkg). 

Interesting is everything works fine expect I have ipv6 disconnection after 5 minutes. 

Sure is in early development with Telecom Italia :P
Reporting to openwrt this issue they found out there was a bug :P

Maybe I'll post this build if you want to test it with your ISP.

USB mounts support (USB 2.0 with NTFS support only)

NTFS umount how to:
Login in SSH(or use WinSCP) to the router and edit this file:

/etc/hotplug.d/button/10-generic.sh

Find and replace everything with:

rfkill)
        umount /mnt/sda1
              ;;
By default the rfkill button enable/disable wifi!

Now save and configure you mount points like this:

WHEN YOU WANT TO DISCONNECT THE USB DEVICE FROM THE ROUTER YOU MUST PUSH THE BUTTON TO UMOUNT THE FOLDER. IF YOU HAVE ACCESSED THE USB RECENTLY AND YOU WANT TO SAFELY DISCONNECT IT, WAIT FROM 30 TO 60 SECONDS THEN PRESS THE BUTTON. I SUGGEST YOU TO CHECK YOUR SYSTEM LOG IN LUCI WHERE YOU CAN SEE THIS MESSAGE:

Jan  8 10:51:40 OpenWrt daemon.notice ntfs-3g[29922]: Unmounting /dev/sda1 ()
Jan  8 10:52:02 OpenWrt kern.info kernel: [42813.400000] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 19 ****NOW THE USB IS DISCONNECTED

In case the router mounts the usb as /dev/sdb1 you can:

• reboot the router with the usb attached so next time it will be mounted as /dev/sda1 like it should.
• see this post and do one of these things -> NTFS File system

Buffalo WBMR - NTFS file system

Yesterday I compiled a new build with ntfs-3g 2012.1.15 (openwrt still uses 2011.04 and now it's broken) and this is the situation:  it works!

• slow speed if you copy a file from pc to usb device via lan (about 737KB/s)
• if you boot the router with an usb device attached it will be mount automatically as /dev/sda1 - so no problem
• sometimes when you disconnect the usb device and reconnect it, the router will mount it as /dev/sdb1 in fact if you check the processes you will see ntfs-3g still running with /dev/sda1 configuration
• sometimes you don't have to create a mount point for fstab, just connecting the usb device will create it - so check always the System Log and the mount points from LUCI
• sometimes you have to reboot the router to restore the /dev/sda1
• when you share an usb device via samba, changing the shared folder name let you see the contents

After this experiment I don't think it is a good idea to use ntfs-3g. If your really need ntfs and you connect an usb device without disconnect it often, I can compile for you one.

I just find out that you just need to unmount the folder BEFORE disconnecting the usb device.

from SSH:

umount /path/*/ 

I scripted the button near the usb to do the umount and it works great! yay!

From the next build I will add ntfs support ;)
