I've updated my Asus WL700ge from Kamikaze 8.09.2 to Backfire 10.03.
Since the ROM size is limited to 2MB I've created a minimal image, and use the internal HDD for storing additional packages through extboot.
Booting from HDD and installing packages works just fine, but in the end I'm stuck: I cannot connect to the internet / wan, either through lan or wlan. I can perform ping or wget directly on the router through ssh. But when I try it on a PC connected on lan port or wlan, it does not work. DNS does seem to work, but no connection can be made.
I've been struggling with this problem for over a week now. Based on other topics I've been playing the /etc/config/network file, but it all has no effect.
I'm kinda stuck, and since I'm not a Linux guru I don't know how to find the exact problem.
8.09.2 seems to work fine but I don't want to go back since I like to use some of the new packages.
Any suggestions?
