Tomato 1.19.8815 Mod.

Wow toast, that's very kewl.

 

how hard would it be if i wanted to include openvpn into this release?

i have a windows comp -- would i need cygwin to recompile source?

 

1.19.8850 is much better than 1.19.8815.

Thanks.

 

Victek,

I saw the videos at your website about SD mod. This mod is in your latest Tomato mod too?

Respect

kuf from hungary

 

No, unfortunately SD/MMC is built in the version you can look at my signature.. but's not released yet because I'm waiting some test from the creator of this mod to made it compatible with other hardware WRT54G versions and some additional stuff. I released SD/MMC in the 1.15.8500 but I did'nt like the behaviour of the mod.

 

You welcome Keith :biggrin: Are you ready for my next mod? You will be able to show your captive portal to the users and include some advertising in the portal... of course with the SD/MMC mod. :biggrin: .. This BusyBox 1.10.3 is amaizing..

 

Victek,

thanks for the information, i will be waiting

 

Yes.. I'm in good mood , Spain will play the final soccer Eurocup 2008, amaizing!.. hmmm.. I think UPnP (I hate UPnP.. really) will stay as it is by now. I'll try to do something with ARP Binding and unlisted machines restriction first... :biggrin:

 

Keep an eye for Intel 2100/2200 b/g wireless users, this is a valuable information and feedback

 

Let's keep working for some days more and if Intel 2100/2200 b/g cards work then I'll integrate this driver

 

Eiii!!!, nice match and good fraternity between both teams, like as this forum :biggrin:

Campeooonesss, Campeooonesss!!! (sorry for the offtopic but it's something that do not happen every day.. is like as a new version of Tomato)

 

OT: Gratulerer Spania!

 

some Problems with the 8850 Mod

Hi,
congratulations spain! :biggrin:

So I love Tomato I must have the turbo - but it seems to me, I am a little confused.

I flashed the 8850 mod like I did tomato or dd-wrt several times. I made a reset with power off, push reset, power on and hold reset for 30sec. I dont find the nvram erase command in ssh!

so now something doesnt work:

wpa aes, its always tkip. I tested with tomato 1.13 router.
qos can not change. I made a few rules, but it shows, that nothing changes (after reboot).

I have to say, that I use some commands to build a vlan2 for port 1-3 (please see my post with problems too)(I rather cut off the wlan from br0, but it doesnt work)

Thank you for advise!
michse

 

I think you have to execute a nvram command to clean the stuff. The other commands and function are working, can you explain what it's your exact configuration? the br0 interface is pointed for all the IP/MAC and QoS so, any vlan created can be out of these function.

 

Hi Victek,

thank you for replay.

In my Initscript:
sleep 5
nvram set vlan0ports="0 5*"
ifconfig vlan0 down
nvram set vlan2hwname=et0
nvram set vlan2ports="3 2 1 5*"

in firewall:
iptables -I INPUT -i vlan2 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -i vlan2 -o vlan1 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -i vlan2 -o ppp0 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -o vlan2 -j DROP
iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat -o vlan1 -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE

in wanup:
sleep 5
ip addr add 192.168.1.3/24 dev vlan1 brd +
ifconfig vlan0 up
ifconfig vlan2 192.168.3.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig vlan2 up

in qos.jpg you see in line 1 an ip adress from a client, the second line shows on left the destination and on right my wan ip and port. this is not correct, but without mod is the same. the classification in tomato 1.19 ist ok. in 8850 I can not change the classification.

ifconfig:

Qos only works between br0 and pppoe or vlan1 ??

so I did an nvram defaults --yes before I made a 30sec. reset

Edit: I shoudn't show my mac..,.

 

Buffff.. I have to recreate all these changes and see the behaviour.. Thanks

 

mh today morning the classification I set yesterday or the day before comes to work (or it is only shown under Qos View Detail). but do I change something now, it comes not to work. ...

something I did totaly wrong. but what.

michse

 

Well, I do have to say that I was running the 8850 version for about 2 weeks straight and everything was stable without and restarts of the router. Well, I updated my MacBook today to version 10.5.4 and experienced my first restart. Good thing I went into the config page or else I wouldn't have noticed. I do know for a fact that they did update the Airport card driver with the release so I'm pretty certain its causing the problem.

 

Those commands do not belong in init, they should be committed to nvram and used by the boot process. If you have a WRT54GL or similar (GSV4) you also need to set an over-ride variable to prevent the vlans being reassigned,

 

Good!! .. I contacted Jon Zarate about it.. I'll build in next release. :biggrin:

 

You talking about the new driver? If so, my equipment is older and my experience thus far with firmware (both Tomato and DD-WRT) using new drivers, haven't been good. I'm open to helping with tests which might have better results though.

 

Ok, first in the list for testers :biggrin:

 

Thanks, glad to help if I can. Over at dd-wrt they've basically gone to the new driver but one of the developers is still doing builds with the "vintage" driver for folks like me with older equipment that seems to prefer the older driver.

 

TexasFlood means that some of his older equipment doesn't support the newer Broadcom drivers like some of the older Linksys GS and Asus routers.

Victek made a Tomato Mod build sometime ago with new Broadcom drivers and I experienced the same no connection problem with a Intel 2200BG wifi card I have in a laptop. Thats why he pulled that update and went back to using the older well known drivers. It's a shame because they seemed fast and gave better coverage.

 

If I recall correctly the drivers he used was the version 4.130.xxxx and didn't let the Intel 2200BG connect at all, despite using the newest Intel drivers. Since then Intel have realesed newer versions and searching on the web you can find some even newer v12.0.0.78 betas which I haven't had the chance to test but would be a good idea if we could test them out.

 

Are the multi SSID drivers in the recent myopenrouter Netgear WGR614L-V4.139.6.2 GPL sourcecode any use - Linux kernel is 2.4.20 which seems familiar...

 

Thanks mstombs , now trying with 4.150.10.5.2 ... crazy behaviour...

 

I have a WRT54G v2, WR850G units of similar vintage, and a WTR54GS that will only run dd-wrt as of now. My routers WILL run builds with the new driver but my testing clearly shows my routers work better with the old or "Vintage" driver builds. What I saw with the previous Tomato ND builds and "new driver" dd-wrt builds was stability problems after a while, couple of days anyway. Additionally, on dd-wrt, I also can only add one virtual wireless interface instead of the 3 allowed by the firmware all of which work correctly with the "vintage" driver. On REALLY old stuff, like a WRT54G v1, will brick if you load the newer driver. I don't have one of these but there are warnings of this on the dd-wrt web site. I can't say if the same applies to Tomato.

As I mentioned in my previous post, what the dd-wrt developers are doing for now is producing both a "new driver" build as well as a "vintage driver" build to provide stability on both newer and older equipment.

 

Just looked out of curiousity and according to the dd-wrt supported device page, the WRT54G v1-v1.1 has a BCM4710 CPU, the WRT54G v2-v3.1 a BCM4712 CPU and the WRT54GL v1-v1.1 a BCM5352 CPU.

 

@mstombs

you are rigth, but in some thread here I read about the problem, that tomato overrides this vlan stuff on reboot. So I have a wrt54gl (1.1) I could confirm this problem. the solution was to do this comands in a script.

could you explain me, how to do it right please? maybe then some problems are gone.

thank you

 

See this thread for instructions to set nvram variable "manual_boot_nv" to 1 to avoid Tomato redefining the vlans for you every boot (should only really need to on first boot after upgrade from another firmware!). This only applies to WRT54GL and similar (GSV4?) that have different port wiring/ numbering than other versions.

http://www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showthread.php?t=54947

 

i need help, some one help me please.
Is it possible if i use this firmware [1.19.8850] on wrt54gl hardware mod ram from 16mb to 64mb, i already test on 1.19 tomato it work , but i'm not sure about mod firmware.
who can confirm this firmware can run under ram 64mb ?

thanks you,

 

No changes in this firmware regarding RAM allocation, go ahead and use the same memory trick to activate de RAM area as you did in the original Tomato.

BTW.. Integrating BB 1.10.4 (stable) in the coming release... :biggrin:

 

Victek,

are you planning to give back the SD/MMC support in the future?

 

Sure, but with automatic GPIO detection if Augusto can handle with it. TBH, I know a very few people using SD/MMC mod and this situation discourages to integrate into the firmware due to space poblems...

 

Understand, thanks. What do you think, how it works at dd-wrt? they use auto gpio detection, or there are profiles to choose your wrt's version? I love Tomato from the first versions (and before hyperwrt/thibor) and i never want to change to dd-wrt.
I tried many dd-wrt builds, but they're not too stable, like Tomato.

Respect,
kuf

 

10x for the great mod

I am intersted in SD/MMC mod as I have asus wl-500gp with 2 usb ports.

I think it will be better to have 2 versions 1 with SD/MMC mod and 1 with vpn.

or provide the mods as addons

10x

 

I just test 1.19.8850 , It work and stable for me user around 15-20 ppl online.
Thanks you very much Mr.Victek
Thanks you for this firmware. i love this firmware so much
^^

 

@mstombs

i made the changes nvram set manual_boot_nv=1 and could do the vlan commands in a shell without lost after reboot - thanks a lot.

The problem that classification changes dont work seems to be gone, the aes problem too. I have to test alittle bit around.

now its one question left: the wlan users are bind to br0 - so qos should work. does qos work for vlan 2 users? in qos view detail there is already a dst and scr turnaround. in scr there is the dest ip and in dst there is my wan ip. the classification shown is right.

maybe ist a better way to disconnect the wlan from br0 so I have to work with eth1 and br0 then vlan2 and br0??

Thanks for that. (should I start a new thread for that :halo: ?)

 

Better, this subject has no relation with the mod.

 

I'm not sure if this has been asked her before, but is there any chance whatsoever this mod will ever feature multiple SSID's? I really need this feature, but I refuse to move over to DD-WRT..

 

This firmware mod also on a Buffalo WHR-G125 runs?
Thanks you for answer.

 

Hi,

I see there are 2 lines each for upload and download, UL Rate, UL Ceiling, and same for DL.

I thought the ceiling would specify the maximum amount of data a particular client would be allowed to download/upload, after which no more would be allowed, however, the units in the screenshot for both Rate and Limit are kbps, so I'm not really sure what that really means.

Can someone please clarify?.

Thanks.
Riz

 

Here you go:

TC Tag . This number is awarded by the router sequentially to each new IP that is added to the list, do not modify.

IP Address . In this box you must enter the IP address for the PC to be controlled it's down/upload speed.

Dl Rate . Here write speed downlink PC when all PCs on the list are operational (downloading) ... uhhh? who does this mean? It means that the sum total of this column for all PCs on the list can not overcome the total "Download Bandwidth."
If the amount exceeds this "Download Bandwidth" serves no purpose to the entered data when all the PC's are downloading data.
Also take into account that if you entered the IP belongs to a connection via wifi is possible that the conditions of propagation and signal quality wireless PC for this not to allow the PC reaches the speed written in this box, if writing a speed downlink 10000kbps in this box when the wireless connection only allows a maximum speed (theoretical 5000kbps)

I hope this explanation clarify any doubt you had.

Dl Ceil Interesting, explanation; It will be the maximum download speed is going to achieve this PC downloading when the bandwidth is sufficient to enable it to overcome its download speed because the total amount of download speeds of others PC's has not been reached.

Example 1

Speed downlink connection = 16000 kbps.

PC1 Dl Rate 4000 Dl ceil 7000kbps
PC2 Dl Rate 4000 Dl ceil 9000kbps

Behavior (assuming that the discharge permits to achieve maximum speed)

The PC1 begins to download and as yet has not begun PC2 reaches a maximum speed of 7000kbps download.
The PC2 starts after downloading and reaches a speed of 9000kbps.

The amount of download Ceil for both PCs = 16000kbps.

Example 2

Speed downlink connection = 16000 kbps.

PC1 Dl Rate 4000 Dl ceil 7000kbps
PC2 Dl Rate 4000 Dl ceil 9000kbps
PC3 Dl Rate 8000 Dl ceil 9000kbps

The PC1 begins to download and as yet has not begun PC2 and PC3 reaches a maximum speed of 7000kbps download.
The PC2 starts after downloading and reaches a speed of 9000kbps.
The PC3 begins to download ... Guiño and the speed of PC1 to goes to 4000, the speed of PC2 also to 4000 and speed of PC3 will 8000kbps, total = 16000kbps.

Example 3

Speed downlink connection = 16000 kbps.
PC1 Dl Rate 4000 Dl ceil 7000kbps
PC2 Dl Rate 4000 Dl ceil 9000kbps
PC3 Dl Rate 4000 Dl ceil 9000kbps

The PC1 begins to download and as yet has not begun PC2 reaches a maximum speed of 7000kbps download.
The PC2 starts downloading and reaches a speed of 9000kbps.
The PC3 begins to download ... Guiño and the speed of PC1 goes down to 1/3 of the maximum speed, PC2 also to 1/3 of the maximum speed and the speed of PC3 is also 1/3, Total = 16000kbps. Why?, because the amount of drop ceilings exceeds the maximum download ceil rate and Dl Rate is the same for all three PCs.

Gotcha? Guiño

UL Rate . Like DL Rate but to upload.
UP Ceil. Like the Dl Ceil but to upload.

Examples and behavior for UL and UL Rate CEIL, the same as Dl.

Priority Very important this function. It affects the position that takes the rule in the tail of netfilter router, therefore the higher the priority the PC has priority over the rest in DNS traffic, http, games ... (mainly).
Improves ping but only because it is earlier than other PCs in netfilter, not because of other circumstances.

TCP Limit Maximum number of active connections for this IP. It serves to limit this issue and is particularly attractive to avoid saturation of P2P programs (emule, torrent, ares).

UDP limit UDP datagrams limit number / maximum UDP connections per second, serves to exactly the same thing, to avoid saturation of P2P (especially for Ares).

IMPORTANT Any IP that is not included in this rule will operate at maximum speed of down/up unless using the "Limit unlisted machines" is enabled in the "ARP Binding." In this case the IP will have Internet access restricted (zero).

w00t, 1.20 is out..

Victek, are there going to be new features in your 1.20 update or is it simply going to be the same mod with the 1.20 updates integrated in? Either way is awesome, I'm just wondering.

 

Hi!
Something new...like as BB 1.11.1 (stable), U/D score per IP, IGMP for IPTV, and the first attempt to download remote themes (on/off by the user) to save memory... I'm working on it. :biggrin: Pls, wait 2-3 days for any possible surprise in the original version that will affect to the mod.

 

Sounds good to me Can't wait!

 

Actually, I really have a strong wish that most, if not all, of Victek's mods are MERGED into Tomato mainstream. In the routers I deploy about half are "mainstream" and the other half "mods" because of the usefulness of Victek's mods (esp. the hash mod).

 

I like having themes built-in by the way. Makes it so much easier.

 

At least Jon included in this new release extension up to 100 clients in DHCP, so, I think my mod will discontinue in short time if Jon integrates all these changes, it's a good sign. :biggrin:

 

You really are doing an excellent job, Senor Victek.

I don't know what the problems were with the hash mods in the past, but I have been running your latest available build on some routers with no problems whatsoever. They should make it back into the mainstream build, maybe Version 1.21 !!

 

How about adding TCP Vegas option into this? Several of us love tomato but miss the TCP vegas, since vegas is far superior to QOS!

 

Show me links and sources about TCP Vegas in order to start with something... I have no clue about it .. sorry to be clear but I need also your help.

Edit. Is one application for servers, not for router.. something strange, not?

 

well it does work - as many using DD-WRT have tried and proven.
These guys in here http://www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showthread.php?p=328343 are also requesting it!

I think all you need to do is t o include the compilation of that opensource pretaining to Vegas, and whoever wants to enable vegas can go to enable it.

Sorry, Im not a linux guy Perhaps those guys in the other thread can help.


This thread says how to enable it:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=28816&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=45

I guess the command lines at least gives a clue as to which modules are needed

 

I'll see, Thanks for the information, I know how it works... but is developed for kernel 2.6... Tomato works on 2.4.20, huge difference.

How come tomato's using a much lower version of the kernel?

 

Is it possible to include the mod explained in this topic?
Basically it is "recent" module for iptables.
The post with sources: http://www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showpost.php?p=327255&postcount=20

Appreciate you work

 

It uses a lower version of the kernel because it works and accomplished the goals of Tomato which were not the same as dd-wrt. Tomato was never intended to be one huge do it all firmware. It was intended to be fast, simple, flexible, practical and reliable.

The earlier kernel did all of that just fine.

I've voiced this concern in the past and responses weren't all that kindly but watching all the requests we have to be careful and not lose track of why we chose Tomato over any other 3rd party firmware.

I'm not opposed to adding features to make it easier to use and configure, increase security, make it faster, etc. Turning Tomato into dd-wrt II is another thing. I don't want dd-wrt II. If I do, I'll just load dd-wrt.

Just my humble opinion.

 

Totally agree with you and the philosophy of Tomato, don't forget that we are talking about a home firmware. Tomato upgraded the value of this router x4 and still is the most stable firmware I tested till now.

 

Hi Toastman,

New wireless driver OK, waiting for the DNSMasq issue in 1.20 to be solved and then mod release will be out. BTW, dropbear 0.51 has been integrated too more secure for SSH.

-Vic

 

No, I'm hanged in the IP UP/DOWN Counter... I need a breath of iptables :biggrin:

 

When, oh, when, will this mod be integrated into the mainstream...

 

Are you using the ipaccount module? We have this in RouterTech AR7 adsl router (a Ti/MontaVista 2.4.17 kernel), using a netfilter/iptables mod by Igor Mokrushin aka McMCC who currently seems to be producing great firmwares for Russian Acorp routers.

 

Thanks mstombs, you are always as a Big brother :biggrin: I'll try to find it. No, I'm working with ipcounter module from Vigor 2500 router.

 

Once TCP Vegas has been formally implemented into DD-WRT in next revision and people start raving about it , we can talk about adding it to tomato some day

I would really encourage everyone to try it. For VOIP and gaming people, Vegas solves the problem of lag in games, without artificially lowering the bandwidth to accomplish this.

 

Hey don't look too far I'm pretty sure its the same ip_account that's already in the tomato 1.19 iptables source code

http://www.svn.barbara.eu.org/ipt_account/

In the adsl router code above the important rc bit is hidden in a binary core logic module, but I can see some shell scripts that seem to follow the wiki, and the kernel file says it is Version: 0.1.6

 

offtopic: since you fellas are so knowledgeable, i'd like to ask this if you don't mind. what setting in linux, or well, iptables maybe for that matter affects idle connection timeouts.

apart from just owning a wrt54g, i also need a modem to make the connection, and i chose netgear dg834g well, yah its capable of wireless though i don't use it. (oh wait, that don't make sense haha) Anyway, as far as i know, it has linux embedded in it, im using a custom firmware for it infact, and here's the problem:

sometimes, i remotely ssh (means im outside) into my linux server that's connected to the dg834g. well, after using this custom firmware, i notice that, after like say 5-15mins of inactivity, i find myself not connected to it... so i can only guess i must have timed-out somewhat somehow.. but im not too fluent with these network stuff so maybe you experts here can tell me something

 

The question is so off-topic and the thread so long, I think it's best you start a fresh thread if you need an answer.

 

Hi, I would to know if this mod is compatible with Buffalo WHR-G125 ?

 

No, the comming mod will be choiced in two versions, one of these version will be compatible with your router.

 

Has there been any indication the author of tomato will add the bittorrent optimizations (speedmod) to the main firmware code?

 

I've been trying to read up on Linux TCP congestion avoidance algorithms, but it's a bit overwhelming. Seems like now in 2.6, Reno is the base algorithm with other pluggable modules, CUBIC being the latest default along with other options such as BIC, Vegas, and Westwood+.

Found some interesting stuff googling around, like "WOLK - Working Overloaded Linux Kernel 2.4.20" which claims in the release notes to have BIC and Vegas backported from the 2.6 kernel. Not sure if something like that would be possible with Tomato.

FYI, a thread just started up over on the dd-wrt forums about BIC and possible advantages over Vegas. They're running comparative tests, should be interesting to see what results come out of it.

 

I didn't question dd-wrt running on linux kernel 2.6 as references to this before, nor did I think to check it.

DD-WRT runs on a variety of platforms besides broadcom including x86 CPUs with wireless hardware including Atheros, Geode, Intel, and Xscale. I verified that some builds do run the linux 2.6 kernel.

This morning, it occurred to me to actually check the kernel version on my WRT54Gv2/WR850G routers. These show kernel version 2.4.35 which is a lot closer to the Tomato 2.4.20. This is the same broadcom build that DD-WRT folks are testing Vegas/BIC on. Hopefully that means there is more hope of Vegas &/or BIC in a Tomato build.

 

Apparently TCP vegas has been back-ported as far as 2.4.27. I suspect there's already a fair bit of other stuff back-ported to Tomato 2.4.20 (so its not vanilla 2.4.20), see the speedmod for example. All credit to the gurus who can understand enough in detail what's going on in there!

The key issue here is that Tomato builds on the Linksys/Broadcom distributed kernel. dd-wrt is a fork of an OpenWRT kernel I recall, and they maintain a late 2.4 plus latest 2.6 kernels.

 

Tomato Mod RAF 1.21.8005 available (based on 1.21).

Has anyone tried it yet? I'm thinking about changing from DD-WRT to Tomato because QoS doesn't work correctly in DD-WRT. And now that I've seen that Victek's mod seems to be pretty cool, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if it's really worth it to go with his mod or should I stay with the original Tomato firmware. I own a WRT54GL v1.0.

Tomato Mod RAF 1.21.8005 works very well and has the speedmod. Connection can be upto 10,000. Had it for 2 week and I recommend it over DD-WRT. I was using DD-wrt v24-RC5 and realised QoS wasn't working too well. Not looking back since using Tomato.

*Make sure you use 'Port Rules' and avoid L7 and IPPxx rules as its much quicker.

 

ND version

Can I download somewhere a ND version of Victek mod?

Or is there any guide how can I compile it by myself?


I want to use it with my Asus WL-520GU

Thanks guys

 

Visually Impaired say THANKS!!!

 

I change my ISP and now PPPOE is not working.

If I connect modem direct to PC, PPPOE works.
If I connect modem to Tomato, PPPOE can´t get a connection.

Why this happen?

Thanks and Congratulations for good work.

*Sorry for bad english, because I´m from Brazil!

 

No problem with PPPoE configuration in this release.. Do you know that 1.21 release is already out?

Obrigado :biggrin:

 

does anyone have a link where i can download version 1.20.8002? I've looked all over, i would appreciate it greatly.

 

Whatever happened to this idea? It would be very useful
