I am glad to see clue has almost entirely arrived on arstechnica
(who's Ars Praetorian?)

Apparently, anyone with >400 posts and an account older than 2 years.

So IF I get the fixes on that bug into the next release are we going
to work right? what else regarding upnp and dlna are going to
break/still broken?

I'm under the impression several people here have already hacked
working upnp into cerowrt. Does this work with the xbox?

I can't speak for the XBox, but Windows 7 port-forwards nicely using the trondah miniupnpd/minissdpd packages and the configuration changes in #362. So far, both Skype and Teredo are working on my hardware. I skipped adding minidlna for now. It may be useful for serving videos from the router, but it has many more dependencies and I have nothing that is DLNA-compatible and not a full-blown computer (in which case I can use SMB instead*).

* As a side note, Samba seems to have a couple of issues in Sugarland. First, it appears to ignore WINS registrations from Windows 7 at least. You can still get cross-subnet browsing from Samba listening to broadcasts. The second is that trying to run "smbpasswd -a username" results in a segfault. Maybe a local user of the same name is necessary...
