[NoCat] Ewrt-0.4.3 (0.4 FINAL) is released

[Troy M Jaqua]

Hi all,

I have just relased our latest version of the Ewrt Open-Source firmware
for the Linksys WRT routers.  Ewrt-0.4.3 will be the last release in this
series, which still operates on a very stable but old kernel and codebase
from Linksys.

Major improvements to the NoCatSplash code have been done again, and we
feel that this is now the stablest autonomous captive-portal
authentication software you will find.  One major new feature is the
ability to keep a static lease-file defined in the configuration, so that
the authentication database will survive a reboot or restart of the
splashd server.  A few other functional bugs, illuminated through
high-volume testing on our commercial networks, have also been fixed with
this release.

More space is available for r/w storage on the flash in this release.  We
are also hosting some older ipkgs, installable automatically after
installation.

For more information on the release, please see:

In addition we are committing to CVS this week a new experimental build
with our own custom 2.4.32 kernel and uClibc-0.9.28 libraries and
toolchain, which  allows us to directly utilize the latest ipackages
compiled for OpenWRT kamikaze.  We have also started testing support for
the WRT54Gv5 /v6, WRT54GSv5 and WRTSL54GS routers, as well as some of the
other models based upon the same hardware from Buffalo, Motorola, and
Asus.  We hope to quickly improve our build system to accomodate the
Netgear WGT634U as well.
