New version of my custom firmware build: 1.0.3.8HF/1.0.3.8HF-HW.

Changes (vs 1.0.3.7HF):

1. WIGIG firmware (AD driver) is reverted back to previous version (fixing problems with 802.11ad).
2. Bug in ReadySHARE GUI (Advanced Settings, Apply button) is fixed, problem reported by tech960.
3. ubus package is upgraded 2017-11-13->2018-01-16.
4. HW version: cryptodev-linux package is upgraded 1.9.git-2017-05-29->1.9.git-2017-10-04.

Important:
No reset is needed to upgrade from my previous versions. But: most probably you will need to do reset if upgrading from stock firmware 1.0.2.52 and above.

P.S. It is recommended to disable Router Auto Firmware Update. Otherwise your router might be upgraded suddenly by stock version.

Difference 1.0.3.8HF-HW vs 1.0.3.8HF: “HW” version means hardware acceleration of OpenSSL.

Info for Entware users: Entware is upgraded. It is enough to run:

/opt/bin/opkg update
/opt/bin/opkg upgrade

to upgrade your version.

Hi Voxel

Your last firmware work like a rock ! Thank you for sharing this.

I read on a link in your tutorial :
".. setup a chrooted Debian Jessie v8.9 where you can compile and install any package you want, of course if routers memory permit it, ex. transmission, plexmediaserver, minidlna, lighttpd, rutorrent, owncloud..."
So do you think there is a way to install ntopng on our R9000 (eg. via chroot-ed debian/docker) ? I try it (debian 8/9) with no result but i don't have experience on "chroot" environments....

http://packages.ntop.org/

I just need an advice

Thx !

Well, I think that there are no problems to install it, because it is included into official packages of Debian:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=ntopng&searchon=names&suite=stable&section=all

But I am not sure will it work or not, I did not try to use this package.

You just have to try. It is not so difficult. Just unpack tarball and run script to enter into Debian command prompt. Then as usual

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install ntopng

BTW, my README a bit outdated, you can use Debian Stretch downloading it from my site.
