Re: Sveasoft's vs WiFi-Box

Hey everyone,

I've been in contact a bunch with WiFi over the past few weeks, hence why I've been posting a bunch of answers to questions about his firmware.

I just tonight verified that he has applied for a project at SourceForge.net

When the project goes online it will be titled 'WiFi-Box'
He applied for the project account on 1/10 and has yet to hear back form the SF staff. Typically turn around is 2-3 days, but they may be backlogged as everything has to be done manually.

You can rest assured that he will be providing the source and will be attributing the code to those who have written it.

I believe a large part of this stems from a bit of language barrier. I know that once the project goes live a whole bunch of people will be chomping at the bit to add their own code and ideas; the idea of integrating ideas from each of the firmwares is part of the point of GPL, let the community access and improve upon open code and then make it available for others.

So, anyways, I too am anxiously awaiting the next version and the source code. We'll keep you updated as to the status!

For now - everyone enjoy the amazing benefits that both Sveasoft and WiFi have brought you - I know I am! Its made this router purchase more than worthwhile!

Well said James.

WiFi,

Don't let this controversy stop you from continuing this project. I for one appreciate your hard work to make the WRT54G a much improved router for us to use. I am also looking forward to future releases.

Fixed Linksys' problem with FTP Passive mode

I'm curious, what is the problem with FTP passive mode with Linksys's firmware?

BTW thanks for the comprehensive lists (even though some of the items go over my head ).

Morac,

Actually I don't know what was fixed as I never had a problem with passive FTP myself. Apparently others did and WiFi fixed it. I will try to find out more specific details.

After talking to WiFi, apparently it was a litle bug he introduced the firmware before this showed up in the changelog. Obviously its fixed now. Other than that all the other features still stand.
