By the way, once I have the dump of the nvram, is there a way to upload it. Lets say if I want a clean nvram dump back onto my router is there a command I can use ?

Thanks again

Yes, this should be possible.

Take the dump (nvram_backup.txt I call it here), and create an update script from it :

Code:

awk '{print "nvram set " $1 }' nvram_backup.txt > nvram_backup_script.sh

Now you can chmod and run the script:

Code:

chmod +x nvram_backup_script.sh

Now run it and commit changes :

Code:

./nvram_backup_script.sh
nvram commit

macsat,

Thanks for your reply. One last question (okay, last question for the next few minutes. hehe) Is there a way I can make an image of the whole thing. Because I am going to have a few of these unit and instead of installing packages on each one I would like to create one image and just blow them across all my WL-500gP's.

Once again thanks for taking the time out to help me out. I really appreciate it.
