There is a lot to be said about the reported no issues.

See https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=332079&highlight=

It affects services like SNMP and TOR perhaps other services, upto current 48865 and including current dev builds 48884, IDK when this issue started (build wise), but depending on setup and services used, whichever are affected require more than one apply to get them going.

Ones working as intended with enabling and clicking apply once are syslog/ttraff Daemon, havent tested others.

This will affect multiple platforms not just Broadcom.

Other issues that require multiply clicks of the Apply button, is Dnsmasq, when enabling/disabling the options and clicking Apply the result is not writen to the respective config file and will require multiple applies to take hold.

And by multiply clicks of the apply, its not hammering the button, its simply clicking and waiting 5 seconds minimum and checking if options are being written to file or not between further clicks until it takes.

Enjoy.

I should mention that my WRT54GL NEVER had the 3-15-22 build on it. I upgraded it from a version from July 2021. It now has the 3-15-22 build on it. This is the std_generic version. I have not tried the mini. Lacking too many features. Not like I use these WRT54GLs for anything anyway, just to help troubleshoot. Here is the flash log:

I also ran a diff and cmp against dd-wrt.v24_std_generic-48494 (3-15-22) and dd-wrt.v24_std_generic-48865 (5-13-22). The files are identical.

its says The free memory is not enough, try stopping some non critical services and releasing memory before flashing, else bingo no dice. Then flash and restart whatever services.

IDK if that message refers to ram memory or flash memory, but some platforms may need extra blocks, for instance mine now writes two extra blocks for the last 10 builds including dev builds and public builds. Firmware size went up slightly and recently down, but still those extra blocks being written.

You can tell, by watching which block addresses are erased and compare to the address blocks written, since this isn't shown in your output above and needs historical comparison to confirm. (I kept an eye on mine this is how I know more blocks are being written). Could be a different case for other platforms, but none looks that closely at the small details, I do.

It will still flash the new image with that message. It just uses a different buffer size and takes longer.

Regarding extra blocks now being used up, likely to new features like mdns.

Going back on my records, the 10th of March 2022 could have been from builds 48447 to 48456 it was the last block written.

[flash] : write block [26345472] at [0x01920000]

Today with build r48886 (perhaps other builds previous) it is writing 4 extra blocks

[flash] : write block [26476544] at [0x01940000]
[flash] : write block [26607616] at [0x01960000]
[flash] : write block [26738688] at [0x01980000]
[flash] : write block [26869760] at [0x019A0000]

Still many free blocks to go, so its still well within safe margins.

I still have 35 blocks free.

Enjoy.
