[MLB-WIRELESS] ASUS Wl-500g and USB modems

[Chris Glover]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the ASUS wl-500g and 
USB modems, presumably under openwrt.

I have two of these setup to share an ISDN connection (only using one at 
a time!) using a NT1 PlusII modem (detected by the acm module).  All has 
been (apparently) fine for months until trying to setup QoS.  For 
setting up the scripts I tried several bandwidth / speed testers.  The 
download speed through the router is fine ~ 14k/sec normally (128/128 
ISDN), but i have never actually tried an upload test. Last night i 
tried an upload test and the results were worrying. They basically 
appear to be about half the download speed.   When i unplugged the NT 
from the router and back directly into USB port of my XP computer the 
tests pass as expected - full speed in both directions.

Does anyone have any speed tests or anecdotes regarding the wl-500g's 
USB bidirectional speed or issues with versions of the acm module.  Its 
probably a config / firmware issue, but im trying to find a starting 
place for investigations.
