Is this bug report what you are seeing? Looks like ndb is actively trying to fix it. Maybe report your error, router model and your openwrt revision to the bug report... the more people the better. It looks like someone reported the exact same thing 8 days ago, so you should confirm the problem is not fixed (nor forgotten).

I think you can safely ignore the samba error message.

Yes the last one seems to have fixed my wireless dropout problem on Tplink WR-1043ND (36 hours with like 6 hours playing games and no cut), thanks very much for these builds )

Eric bumped openwrt to revision 29342 on Nov. 29th, because it included ath9k bug fixes (TP-Link 1043ND), but you reported yesterday on the openwrt message board problem not fixed with r29323... So you really aren't using the latest driver available are you?

[ispyisail]

update

I've been doing extensive tests with this build on a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND v1-1.8

This build is very stable when Tor is turned off

When Tor is turned on the router becomes unstable, reboots and I get the errors above

I suspect CPU and RAM undersized issues?

Will test with my RS pro to see

I suspect a bug in Eric's splash?

Update

Now using ubnt RSPro with "N" card

With Tor enabled I can not cash this router with the above faults.

I tried everything, this router is rock solid.

I would also like to report Tor is faster but I'm unsure if this is because of the router or a better connection?

Installed last evening on my WZR-HP-G300NH. So far it seems to not have the wireless dropouts I was experiencing previously, although I've only "tested" (aka, online gaming for a couple hours) for a couple of hours.

Note, though, that I haven't re-setup my QoS settings and things like that. I will report back once it's fully setup the way I like and has been running for a few days.

Oh and I guess I should note I am not using the new Tor capabilities.
