I'm using a personal rebuild of 21.02.0-rc1 built for EA7500v1 target (ipq806x).
Are manually selected CT helpers expected to work with this release ?
I wanted to disable everything I'm not using and found the LUCI settings which do what I expect to /etc/config/firewall but don't see any CT rules with either iptables or fw3.
config zone
option name 'wan'
list network 'wan'
list network 'wan6'
option output 'ACCEPT'
option forward 'REJECT'
option masq '1'
option mtu_fix '1'
option input 'DROP'
option auto_helper '0'
list helper 'ftp'
list helper 'tftp'
I modified fw3 to stop it from suppressing debug info when "print" is selected and narrowed the problem down to this check for RAW tables:
I'm not quite sure if I messed something up or if this is an expected result. Should I be trying to figure out why my kernel is missing "raw" or should I be trying to figure out why fw3 expects it ?
BTW -- whoever did EA7500v1 wiki did a great job. I was a bit nervous since I haven't soldered anything in 20 years but everything just worked.
@anon50098793, I do not totally agree with you, in fact I put the example of Mikrotik, nothing minimalist, and even so it has a web page to do a quick configuration. I think that no one in the forum has asked to change Luci completely, it only takes one page, only one, that allows a quick configuration, and leave the rest as is. Anyway you will agree with me that the versions are passing, but the interface has not changed at all.
Thank you very much @O_o. I just installed that theme, it's nice, but it's more of the same, it doesn't have a page to do a quick configuration. I do not pretend that anything of the current theme is changed, I only pretend that they "add" 1 more page to be able to make a quick configuration, such as Gargoyle's or Mikrotik's.
Thanks @odrt.
Did you read in my reply that I am not an expert? And...
I ask those who know more than I do, but I don't demand that anyone do it if they don't want to. Let's be constructive, this topic had to come out sooner or later.
snapshots built shortly before RC1 had high load CPU heavily when doing wireless transmissions. I don't think hardware acceleration (nat or bridging) works with DSA.
Absolutely agree with you, especially because it is not an issue. I am talking about adding something new to this release.
There isn't a IPK file for luci-mod-quick_setup, and it isn't in repositories so you can't get it through System> Software. Neither does luci-mod-configuration. The only thing available to install is luci-mod-dashboard. I would like biyun223 to finish the job.
That was a stack trace in the kernel log. The kernel log can be found in Luci under Status > Kernel log. Alternatively, you can view your kernel log through the terminal via the dmesg command.
Agree too,
What gets me most is that GUI's in general should be used to create an abstraction layer between the underlying tuning, tweak and config settings and the function it should accomplish, like switching between router and bridge function.
Currently the guy is almost a 1 to 1 mapping of the items in the various /etc/config files and the guy web pages, no abstraction what so ever. This is fine for techies but not for an average person.
