You can get the Firmware here at D-Link (Or from my Mirror).
A while back i wrote a tutorial on how to compile additional kernel-modules for the D-Link DNS-320 and DNS-325. From time to time i get asked if it would be possible to compile module XYZ. In this post I’m publishing the past results of my compilation sessions. If you need further modules, i can provide them on request.

A while back i updated the openvpn-package with the tun.ko for the DNS-320 and DNS-325. Problem was, that i needed to compile a kernel module first. Thankfully D-Link provides a ZIP-File with the sources of Code used for the DNS-320. Unfortunately it didn’t work out of the box, but i was able to pull a script which works together for you. If you want to download all my finished modules just visit this page.

Many people asked me to compile various packages over the last few years. Sometimes i was able to help and sometimes (in rare occasions) i had to reject a request when it was impossible to fulfill it. Then i often told the requestor to install optware which originated from the NSLU2-Project and provides many addition packages. I didn’t have experienc on this, so i had to leave them in the dark. Until recently. Continue reading Installation of Optware on the D-Link DNS-320, DNS-321, DNS-325, DNS-343, DNS-345 and Conceptronic CH3MNAS
At the CES 2011, D-Link has announced a new device, the ShareCenter Shadow DNS-325. This device comes with a bigger CPU, more RAM and is fun_pluggable again! Opposed to the DNS-320, the USB-Port is now again at the back of the Device which looks much more beautiful when using the USB-Port for the fun_plug. Maybe this removes the Backup-Functionality D-Link introduced with the DNS-320? We’ll see when it’s available which will be in March 2011.
