Hi all, I have just relased our latest version of the Ewrt Open-Source firmware for the Linksys WRT routers. Ewrt-0.4.3 will be the last release in this series, which still operates on a very stable but old kernel and codebase from Linksys. Major improvements to the NoCatSplash code have been done again, and we feel that this is now the stablest autonomous captive-portal authentication software you will find. One major new feature is the ability to keep a static lease-file defined in the configuration, so that the authentication database will survive a reboot or restart of the splashd server. A few other functional bugs, illuminated through high-volume testing on our commercial networks, have also been fixed with this release. More space is available for r/w storage on the flash in this release. We are also hosting some older ipkgs, installable automatically after installation. For more information on the release, please see: http://www.portless.net/menu/ewrt/ In addition we are committing to CVS this week a new experimental build with our own custom 2.4.32 kernel and uClibc-0.9.28 libraries and toolchain, which allows us to directly utilize the latest ipackages compiled for OpenWRT kamikaze. We have also started testing support for the WRT54Gv5 /v6, WRT54GSv5 and WRTSL54GS routers, as well as some of the other models based upon the same hardware from Buffalo, Motorola, and Asus. We hope to quickly improve our build system to accomodate the Netgear WGT634U as well.
