nobody have the same problem ?

The N5200 modules will never work because they have a different processor.

I think your question can only be answered by a 4100 owner.

When you tar the module , dont forget the leading ./ before the directory name. Otherwise the module database will be corrupted.
eg: tar -cvzf DONKEY.mod ./DONKEY

To clean up the module database:

Copy the module directory to another one

$ cp - DONKEY REMOVE

Replace the content of the file REMOVE/Shell/install.sh with this:

#!/bin/sh

cd /raid
rm -rf ./module
/img/bin/module_boot.sh

Pack the new module you've just modified

tar -cvzf REMOVE.mod ./REMOVE

Install the module REMOVE.mod on your N4100+
You should see a warning message "Module Failed to install" Don't worry it's normal.
Go to the module management menu and you'll see the module list cleared!

What Happened ?
When you install the module REMOVE.mod , the thecus unpack the module and run the modified REMOVE/Shell/install.sh which delete the module directoy and database and rebuild a fresh new one.

Hope this help!

Hi Dan,

thanks for the idea how to force a rebuild of the module database.

Only some minor corrections:
1) It's not important to place a "./" before the directory name, it doesn't make any difference.
2) The command for copying DONKEY to remove is "cp -r DONKEY REMOVE"

many thanks to you i will try and hope success

do you have already install this module or ssh ?

because ssh says me that a module with same name already exist

1) I seems the leading ./ matters. I've experienced the same problem as scrableur because i forgot to tar the module with the leading ./

It's also explained here:
http://onbeat.dk/thecus/index.php/N2...le_Development

Please pay close attention to the "./" in front of the module directory. This is extremly important as the module will not otherwise install correctly. (Basically I don't know why Thecus made it like this, it doesn't seem too bright. But hey, there might be some explanation I don't know about).

2) I made à typo It was late night when i wrote this.

scrableur> i've installed SSH.mod and DONKEY.mod. They're working well.

I've replaced also the 128 Mb memory module by a 512 Mb

Ok, the issue with the leading "./" isn't explained anywhere and if it's working with a leading "./" why should we bother.....

But for the N5200, all my modules are generated without the leading "./" and they are working file. And for the TAR program it too makes no difference, so I assumed that it is not important at all.

Please don't mind my posting, I know I'm sometimes too technical and always want to know why something is like it is....

thanks i succes the removing of corrupt module

i change the nas type of SSH module in install.rdf but it doesn't work it says to me that there is a module with this name but i dont have any installed module

is there a firmware update to do before ?
Is the firmware n2100 can be installed ?

[Stefan Huebner]

the firmwares are device-dependant, do not install N2100 firmware on N4100. AFAIK one could take the N5200pro firmware and put it on a N5200 ... but I wouldn't wanna try it out...

just visit www.thecus.com/Downloads

Then compare your firmware revision with the latest one online...that's when you'll know if you need an upgrade.
