Hi.
I'm wondering if it's possible to use the ping exploit/bug to enable the full 32MB ram my router appears to have?
I'm running Linksys firmware at the moment, and don't have plans to switch right now.
Can I do it by replacing the boot_wait trick:
;cp${IFS}*/*/nvram${IFS}/tmp/n
;*/n${IFS}set${IFS}boot_wait=on
;*/n${IFS}commit
;*/n${IFS}show>tmp/ping.log
with:
;cp${IFS}*/*/nvram${IFS}/tmp/n
;*/n${IFS}set${IFS}sdram_init=0x0008
;*/n${IFS}set${IFS}sdram_ncdl=0x0000
;*/n${IFS}commit
;*/n${IFS}show>tmp/ping.log
?
I'm sure my router has 32MB. I used a flashlight to find the partnumber on the ramchips, which is is42s16800a-7t, and they're 8Mx16 chips <==> 16MB each ==> 32MB in total.

Those of you who have ISSI chips and are interested, I'm quite sure it's the 8 (8th character) in the partnumber string that tells it's a 8M chip. The strings for v1 to v2 in http://www.linksysinfo.org/modules.php? … id=6#table says they are 4M chips <==> 8MB each <==> 16MB in total.
The v2.2 in the same table, has a 8Mx16 chip <==> 16MB chip, but it only has 1 chip ==> 16MB in total (error in the table claiming 32MB). For v2.2 and v3, you need to have a 16Mx16 chip to make it a 32MB router.
But I think the only lucky ones are those with "newer" v2 routers.
I guess just before Linksys was switching to single ramchips (16MB) in the v2.2 design, and ran out of 8MB ramchips, they used 16MB chips on the v2 routers.
