I will releasing my GUI code for default code from NETGEAR. Since they did not release their code I had to make a simple GUI to control my router and then be able to add custom configurations that are possible with the default loads. I also upgraded Busybox to the latest version so I could have a good built for Telnet and Ftp server as well as DHCP client and server. I made 2 libs to aid in making HTML GUI interface for the router easy. Netdata: Gets basic data about all the network devices actively in system and puts them in a C structure. Cwidgets: Basic widgets to present current data and modify to new config and write to cgi and handle memory management. GBC: Gear Box Controller the binary that will act as CGI in Busybox web server as A GUI for the router. Other modification to get default NETGEAR code to compile with open source iptables / libusb / init scripts. |
