Do not apply this update unless you have easy access to the system in question. Always backup your configuration before upgrading.

Read the previous release notes before applying this update.

Changes since v2.01.7:
*) core components have been updated.
*) ssh server has been upgraded to openssh v4.2.
*) ssh logging has been reduced.
*) syslog server no longer shows --MARK-- lines if redirected to a remote server.
*) small atheros update to resolve an optimization problem introduced in an earlier build.
*) zebra 0.95 (rip, ospf & bgp) has been replaced with quagga 0.98.5.
*) quagga watchdog will now ensure the routing daemons do not quit.
*) iptables marking, layer-7 and connlimit features are available for use via the firewall passthrough.
*) cbq now supports gre, esp, ah, and vpn protocols. (vpn will match any packet with gre, esp or ah protocols)
*) cbq 'all' protocol for shape, and qshape now catches all ipv4 protocols, and not just tcp, udp and icmp.
*) firewall 'lallow' (local allow) is now implemented, with the same syntax as 'allow', but will only effect traffic 'to' the host system.
*) firmware upgrade will now show the edition of the current, and uploaded firmware.
*) ssh interface will now show the edition in use.

Problems resolved since rc1:
*) rip, ospf and bgp are no longer disabled during 'activate changes'.
*) optimization caused AMD SC520, and other 486-class systems to fail during bootup.

Release Caveats:
*) none

*) cbq gre, esp, ah and vpn protocol shaping options.
*) firewall 'lallow' testing.
*) overal stability compared to previous releases.

My wrap in AP mode with atheros CM9 5,6Ghz is still reboot.
With version rc4 uptime max 3days and with rc6 only 4hours.
Where is problem?

Can you please provide me with a support file (starutil -support), and I'll take a peak and see what your system is doing. There are no significant changes between rc4 and rc6 that would cause the problem you are describing, but the file support file may shed some light.

Please email the support file to tony@valemount.com, with a reference to this thread.

Thanks!
