Now, are you running the firmware it came with, or did you goose it with one of the third-party firmwares? I've had three or four of the units running in-house and nearly always flashed them with newer stuff. The original firmware tended to be buggy, and the models as they went on got a little less capable and "cost-reduced" designs (more stuff on custom chips, smaller number of parts => lower cost) less flexible. The last models couldn't support linux, although they made a special WRT54GL with the CPU and RAM to run it. I haven't heard of much experience with the Cisco-branded ones, but considering the direction they were headed in, I'm not surprised. I'm running WebIf2 on top of White Russian on a WRTLS54GS, a compact version with a USB port. It's got BusyBox for an ssh console, a package manager that lets you add things like SIP support, an ftp server, an OpenVPN tunnel endpoint, and more. > Just sayin'. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
