• Remove dsld
  Remove DSL daemon (dsld), if you are planning to use your box as a simple IP client ("Internet mitbenuten") without routing. ATA ("via Lan1") and DSL mode will not work anymore. ATTENTION: You won't be able to use your box as a modem nor a router anymore. As well do not use this option if your ATA mode box uses PPPoE passthrough, because in this case dsld is still needed! Furthermore, selecting this patch also selects the UPnP patch, because UPnP must be deactivated anyway for IP clients, otherwise dsld will be used again. You can find the UPnP settings in the German web UI under Einstellungen System Netzwerkeinstellungen Statusinformationen ueber UPnP uebertragen (empfohlen) Thirdly, the usermand patch will also be selected if you activate this option, because kernel module userman.ko always depends on kdsldmod.ko which is stripped by this patch.

• Remove dtrace

  Remove /bin/lsof binary. This saves about 48 KB compressed space in kernel.image.

M

• Remove mediasrv (UPnP/DLNA)
  Remove the MediaServer-daemon (mediasrv) and some other related files. This patch hides also the MediaServer options in the Web UI, so you must disable it before flashing the new image. Saves compressed 230 KB on a 7270_V2 and 40 KB on a 7170.

• Remove MESHD (Settings Synchronize)
  Removes "meshd" and "meshd_config" services and related files like the daemon and some scripts. This prevents log-spam when PLCD is removed too.

P

• Remove PCPD (Port Control Protocol)
  Removes "pcpd" service and related files like the daemon and some of the tools. PCP is used for dynamic port-forwardings and does not work without MESHD (don't ask). There are NO changes of the avm-webif!

• REMOVE_PIGLET_ISDN: Remove ISDN piglet file(s)
  The firmware of this model contains separate piglet files for ISDN and POTS. Depending on your type of fixed line usage you can safely remove the unneeded bitfile(s). Hint: If you are using POTS fixed line you can try to select this patch. Be careful! Sometimes even POTS models are using the ISDN files and not the POTS ones. If your box ends up in a reboot cycle, you should deselect this patch and maybe want to try the other one, even

• REMOVE_PIGLET_POTS: Remove POTS piglet file(s)
  The firmware of this model contains separate piglet files for ISDN and POTS. Depending on your type of fixed line usage you can safely remove the unneeded bitfile(s). Hint: If you are using ISDN fixed line you could select this patch.

• REMOVE_PIGLET_V1: Remove v1 piglet file(s)
  The firmware of this model contains double piglet files. Which instance is needed depends on the hardware version (v1 or v2) of your box. You can safely remove the unneeded instance. Hint: If "echo $HWRevision_BitFileCount" returns "1" you could select this patch.

• REMOVE_PIGLET_V2: Remove v2 piglet file(s)
  The firmware of this model contains double piglet files. Which instance is needed depends on the hardware version (v1 or v2) of your box. You can safely remove the unneeded instance. Hint: If "echo $HWRevision_BitFileCount" returns "" (nothing) you could select this patch.

• Remove PLCD (AVM Powerline)
  This removes the plcd daemon (44-76kB uncompressed) and related start script. Known so far: It is used to scan the network for PLC devices and show them on the webinterface in mesh/network.

• REMOVE_PRINTSERV_MODULE: Remove usblp.ko
  Remove usblp kernel module. Without this module it's not possible to run a printer on your box. Saves about 12 KB of compressed space.

• REMOVE_PUBKEY: Remove public firmware key
  Removes /etc/avm_firmware_public_key1, just 266 bytes. Because the signature validation will fail on update: - You can't flash firmware from AVM with the AVM Webinterface anymore. - Online-Update can't install updates automatically anymore, but is still able to detect and inform you about new firmware versions. - Most important: No more "spontaneous self updates". There are several reports on the web, that AVM is sometimes disrespecting your update settings to not automatically install new versions. Such a spontaneous self update would remove Freetz. Beside that, it's still possible to flash any firmware by bootloader or Freetz. Updates for Dect devices are not affected by this patch because they are handled by *key2 on routers.

• REMOVE_PUBKEY_INHAUS: Remove inhaus firmware key
  Removes /etc/avm_firmware_public_key4 or /etc/avm_firmware_public_key3, just 266 bytes. Some inhaus firmwares use another file for signature validation: - *key4 for devices with dect (router) - *key3 for devices without dect (powerline & repeater, except gateway)

• Remove showdsldstat
  Removes the showdsldstat utility which shows you the cpmac mode, connect time, external ip, route and dns servers. Also the state of IPv6, voip and tr069. Unsure a.t.m. if this tool is required by other AVM programs! AVM-WebDAV will be patched to not depend on showdsldstat (hopefully).

• Remove socat
  Remove /sbin/socat binary. This saves about 247 KB compressed space in kernel.image.

• Remove support-files
  Remove the support-files which can be taken by http://fritz.box/html/support.html or http://fritz.box/support.lua

T

• Remove telephony
  Radically remove a lot of telephony-related files. This patch saves about 2370 KB or 2.3 MB of uncompressed data size in the firmware image. This means savings of about 700 KB of compressed firmware size. ATTENTION: Currently there have not been a whole lot of tests concerning side effects. The patch was successfully tested on a W701V IP client with removed UPnP/dsld/userman. If it still works for boxes including those functionalities, is unknown. Feel free to test it.

WARNING: Don't select this if you are using an AVM Repeater with Guest-Wlan! ATTENTION: Fritz!Fax relies on UPnP. Make sure you deactivate all UPnP features in the web menu before updating the firmware with this option. It may not be harmful not to deactivate it, but there is no guarantee. You can find the settings in the German web UI under Einstellungen System Netzwerkeinstellungen Statusinformationen ueber UPnP uebertragen (empfohlen)

• REMOVE_USBHOST: Remove USB Host
  Remove USB Host This patch will remove all the kernel modules needed for the USB Host from the firmware. You will not be able to use USB storage or USB printers unless you provide a way to download and install these modules at runtime. Selecting this patch does not automatically select the patches to remove the kernel modules for the file systems (EXT2, FAT, NTFS, ...)

V

• REMOVE_VOIPD: Remove VoIP
  This removes the integrated sip-client and -server and the releated Web menu, normal telefon use (ISDN, POTS and DECT) is not affected. This saves 250 KB on a 7170/7270 of compressed firmware size. Do not select this option if you want to use the answering machine. ATTENTION: You must remove all sip phone numbers and all sip clients before flashing this image. Afterward there is no possibility to remove these numbers because the Web UI is also removed.

  1. Replaces and deselects usb-storage patch. - The names of USB storage directories can be defined by WebIF (default uStorXY) (or by volume LABEL). 2. Replaces and deselects autorun.sh/autoend.sh patch. - autorun/autoend behaviour can be activated/deactivated via WebIF. - autorun/autoend are useful to start/terminate applications located on USB devices, eg apache, samba or even swapfiles, after connecting or before disconnecting of USB devices. 3. Auto-mounted USB storage devices will be fully accessible, eg it is now possible to put user home directories for (e.g. for FTP) on a FAT32-formatted partition and permit shell and FTP users to actually write to their own home directories. 4. Avoid deleting whole filesystems on USB devices. 5. Enhanced behaviour during mounting and unmounting. 6. Provides mount-by-label feature. It is highly recommended to select this patch.

• PATCH_UDEVMOUNT: Add udevmount
  Adds a mount/unmount hook to: - Automatically start/stop external. - Execute autorun.sh/autoend.sh. - Terminate programs blocking unmount. - Logging of (un)mount events.

• PATCH_VCC: Patch 2nd VCC
  Patches the setting for 2nd VCC into web menu. It also adds two additional settings (PCR & SCR) not available in the original AVM firmware. Please also note that it is not possible to change the value of traffic_class setting via the web-interface. You have to do it some other way (e.g. using FBEditor or nvi ar7.cfg). Warning: Please read up on what each VCC setting means before setting/changing it. Besides not working wrong values may cause additional costs for you as your provider may treat it as simultaneous dial-in attempts (Doppeleinwahl). The correct values for an 1&1-Komplettanschluss are: VPI = 1; VCI = 35; traffic_class = atm_traffic_class_CBR; pcr = 603; scr = 0;

• PATCH_VOL_COUNTER: Restore volume counter support
  Adds volume counter support removed by AVM for some (probably marketing) reasons.

• Patch webif features
  This enables the scripts in patches/cond/800-webif_features/ which patch some webif features, currently 210-patch_hostname.sh 811-show_tr069_config.sh 812-show_update_config.sh 821-show_network_repeater.sh 822-show_dvb_services.sh

• Replace ar7login
  If wrapper was started by telnetd AND root password is defined, proceed with regular user/password login. Otherwise fall back to web password (and user, if set) login.

• Replace dtrace
  Dtrace will be replaced by a symlink to /tmp/flash/mod/dtrace. Activating this option lets you execute a custom action via phone using #973 keycode sequence.

• Replace onlinechanged - EXPERIMENTAL
  AVM's built-in onlinechanged is not reliably called on some DSL boxes for unknown reasons (see http://www.ip-phone-forum.de/showthread.php?t=231873). On boxes behind a NAT, e.g. on many IP clients, behind cable routers etc., onlinechanged is not triggered either because dsld is not responsible for the connection. Thus, services on such boxes cannot be reinitialised automatically after the external IP address has changed. This is where this patch can be useful: It starts a shell script /sbin/ip_watchdog via /etc/inittab and makes sure the script is automatically restarted (via "respawn") in case it is terminated accidentally. The script periodically (60 s) checks the external IP via /usr/bin/get_ip and calls AVM's and Freetz's onlinechanged scripts via /bin/onlinechanged.sh if the IP has changed. At the same time the patch ensures that AVM's master script /bin/onlinechanged is empty, so the scripts are not called twice. Who should use this patch? First of all users with boxes configured for NAT who cannot profit from AVM onlinechanged at all. Secondly users having problems with AVM onlinechanged being called unreliably on their DSL boxes. Limitations: Environment variable IPADDR is set as usual, but no other variables set by AVM multid in original onlinechanged such as NETMASK, GATEWAY, DNS1, DNS2. They are currently not used by AVM or Freetz scripts anyway, so this limitation should not be a problem. Another difference to AVM onlinechanged is that this solution only calls "onlinechanged online", never "onlinechanged offline". This also should not be a problem, but you should be aware of it.

• Replace OpenSSL libraries
  Use this option only if you are running out of space and if you really know, what you are doing. Activating this option may cause an unstable system, uncontrolled reboots and other side effects. Activating this option saves about 400KB in the image.

• REPLACE_OUTER_UCLIBC_AND_BUSYBOX: Replace uClibc and BusyBox in outer image
  This replaces uClibc and BusyBox in the outer image by a self built version. This could cause a bad configurstion like missing applets. The worst case is a not booting image.

• RESTORE_DEBUG_CFG_SUPPORT: Restore support for /var/flash/debug.cfg
  Restores support for /var/flash/debug.cfg removed by AVM for security reasons in Fritz!OS 6.20 (6.0x on some boxes).

• RUN_TELEFON_IN_INHAUS_MODE: Run telefon daemon in inhaus mode
  Running telefon daemon in "inhaus mode" restores: - Processing of /var/flash/calllog on incoming calls. In case you added telnetd, this patch also restores: - Support for telnetd on/off by phone (#967 / #968). - Processing of /var/flash/fx_conf attributes responsible for automatic start of telnetd.

• Select hardening
  This selects some patches to remove unsecure files/services: - TR069: Your provider is able to create user accounts and could then login to your device remotely. - KIDS: BPjM lists used by contfiltd get updates by download. Juis provides these unsecure http:// urls. The lists itself contain only a crc32 which could be calulated easily and any site could be blocked by attacker. - MYFRITZ: AVM has wildcard certificates for *.myfritz.net and can attack your HTTPS sessions as man-in-the-middle. - PUBKEY: Removing the public key of AVM prevents unwanted firmware updates which could occur spontaneousily.
