I can make changes in the installer to optimize it for DD-WRT.Īre there popular features available in DD-WRT that I can add support for ? May be our built-in installer should work differently for DD-WRT? It has to do things very differently for Sveasoft where iptables script is saved in nvram rather than as a file on the filesystem. This can be fixed in the script, if necessary. It may be that grep is not there, or sed or something else. Sometimes small footprint embedded Linux does not have some command line tools used by the script generated by fwbuilder. (Note that path is configurable already, I just suggest making special configuration choice for DD-WRT that "knowns" what it should be). May be default path to command line tools used by generated script is wrong and needs to be changed ? This is very easy to implement but it would make the tool generate configuration ready right away for use on DD-WRT.

Which method is preferred for the DD-WRT community? May be format of the generated script should be different ? Fwbuilder can generate iptables script that either uses iptables-restore or invokes iptables command for each rule, this is controlled by an option. I am posting this message into "Broadcom based hardware" forum as the most active, and "General questions" as the one that seem to fit best in the "Development" section. I am looking for suggestions from both developers and users of DD-WRT. The latest version of fwbuilder has many improvements in the GUI and rule engine and adds support for ipv6.


I thought I would offer my help in case there is anything I can change in fwbuilder to make it work better with DD-WRT. Judging by the posts in this forum, it looks like fair number of DD-WRT users use fwbuilder.
