Is this custom firmware have support for https web access?
This is quite an interesting approach, a mix of both stock firmware and 3rd party firmware....perhaps 'the best of both world'...... Thanx RMerlin or whom ever who started this project!!
so stock firmware 108 is better and more stable than 112??
(1) not able to name your devices in the reserve list, instead of going by MAC address.
(2) not able to use 'no-ip' DDNS service since i cannot custom add ddns server.
(3) not able to easily assign device IP address manually, as RogerSC said from another post, I'd have to juggle around with lease time for it to work....I can live with this
Just a question.
DownloadMaster is running a quite old version of transmission, what would happen if I install a newer version from optware? would it update the existing client or just create a mess as the installation tree of the new version would be different so I could have the two vesions trying to run at the same time?
You're welcome.
IPv6 support is broken in builds 112 and 114. Fixed in 116b (currently available as a beta from Asus' russian FTP site).
I agree that it would be nice being able to assign a hostname to devices. However, nvram space being at a premium, I'm avoiding for now adding anything that could significantly increase the nvram usage. I did add ssh (which takes a good chunk of nvram for storing its keys) because it was a much needed feature (IMHO), but after that there is on average less than 1500 bytes of nvram space left. That's not much...
I might take a look at adding possible alternative clients. For now, you can install other dyndns clients through optware. The no-ip client is available there.
I don't understand what you mean here?
You're welcome.
How do I install optware? I'm not sure how to use it. Are there any easy step-by-step to install and use it?

optware isn't officially supported by Asus, so your mileage may vary. What I did here was this:
1) Formatted a USB flash in ext3 format
2) Installed Downloadmaster. This will setup the /opt filesystem on your USB disk, where optware programs get installed
3) Use the ipkg tool through telnet to install programs. Programs get installed under /opt/ .
For the rest, there must be a lot of documetnation on optware itself - I never really used it myself except to install two or three tools on my router, so I'm not an expert.
Can you add L7 QOS categories?
You don't need to use download master to install optware. Just mount your usb partition/folder for optware to /tmp/opt (/opt is symlinked to /tmp/opt by default). Rest of the stuff for optware/entware remains same as any other router.
I was installing downloadmaster first because it ensured that all required sub-folders were created under /opt. I'm not sure also if it will automatically mount /opt unless some specific nvram settings get set (which downloadmaster did).

JFFS can get wiped after a firmware upgrade if the new firmware is a different size.
Eric, I've got an idea. (borrowed from Oleg's custom firmware).
Just like we have a way to backup router config, we can back up the jffs partition as well. Oleg's firmware (which utilizes flashfs for storing custom scripts, some configurations like ssh etc, and other things) does this as well.
So, we can backup the jffs partition contents from web interface, upgrade the firmware and then restore the jffs partition contents.
Does that sound good?
