Firmware update: Tomato 1.28

On Monday, version 1.28 of Tomato became available. Tomato is like HyperWRT an alternate firmware for several routers equipped with a Broadcom chipset, including the Linksys WRT54g, Buffalo WHR-g54s, and Asus WL500g Premium. After flashing, which is of course done entirely at your own risk, the router has a new user interface and various additional options, including a real-time bandwidth monitor, extensive setting options for qos, access rights and improved support for p2p clients. More information about the capabilities and supported models, including screenshots and videos, is on this page to find. The changelog for this release looks like this:

Changes in version 1.28:

• Fixes for udhcpc. Thanks to fedor for his help.
• Warn if saving an empty Access Restriction since it’s the same as blocking everything.
• Add option in Admin: Access to select which menus are permanently expanded.
• Increase PPPoE username and password length.
• Increase limit for web_printf to avoid problems handling very long variables.
• Update Dnsmasq to 2.55.
