Linksys WRT54G - successes

[Scott Serr]

Hey... saw this on slashdot.org this morning:

*"Creating A Super-Router (For Free)"

http://www.broadbandreports.com/shownews/38267

The Broadband Report link has a couple of links to alternate firmwares...

Any comments?

Some parts of the code released by Linksys is proprietary (the wlan
driver for example), this is why there are some problems regarding the
distribution of the code.

I will receive soon a part a of the devkit of the ISL39300a, which runs
some aps based on the isl3893 chip.

which is the status of S3C4510B ports (i.e. dlink DI614+
and others)?

I mean, I heard somewhere that it is just a case of

- downloading uClinux-dist.tar.gz,
- untar,
- make menuconfig,
- choose the target (ARM/SAMSUNG/S3C4510),
- choose the apps you wan't to include,
- make and, after some hours,
- get a image.rom that one would reflash on the unit and
reboot it with a running uClinux kernel+ramdisk...

if so, what are you guys using to reflash and how?

the acx100 support code, any success on it?

I have a few spare S3C4510s laying around here and wish
to give them a shot... one thing I already discovered
is that WAP11 rev.2.2 is only 512KB flash and 2MB RAM
(too little to run linux)

Is the wlan driver the hold up on making most of these ports useful? Do
any of the vendors use supported G cards? Could you swap in a supported
G (or B) card and have it work?

Sorry for silly questions... just trying to understand the real problems.

Hi

that's a problem I'm facing here, with HRI port
for SMC7004VWBR.

I have no clue on how to make linux recognize
the wlan card on it

humm I didn't pick the card and installed it on
my notebook, to see what is all about. will do
it know ;-) (fingers crossed it won't hurt my
baby!)

Cheers

Yeah, popping the card from the AP in your notebook could give some good
information. I guess in the grand scheme of things you would want to
debug a card that way too...

It would be interesting to see what pcmcia-cs thinks the card is....
matching the IDs. Might have to have a new distro to have lookups with
802.11g hardware ids.
