The WRT54GL is an off the shelf Linksys wireless router that houses a 5 port VPN switch and a 802.11G wireless interface. OpenWRT is a Linux kernel and system that can be used to configure the router as a router, DHCP server, name server, firewall and many other systems. It runs a web server and supports a web interface. Topics covered will include: Getting and installing the OpenWRT code The basic architecture of the router Configuring the router using the web interface Using the Linux command line and ssh to configure the router Ted Faber: Ted is a Computer Scientist at the USC - ISI (University of Southern California - Information Sciences Institute), with research interests in Congestion Control, Security and Protocols. He also teaches operating system courses (CS 555 - Advanced Operating System and CS 402 - Operating Systems) at University of Southern California. He's been hacking around on UNIX systems since 1986 or so and has the e-mail to prove it. Directions: From the 110 Northbound Exit Adams Take a left onto Adams Take a left onto Figueroa (south) Pass Jefferson and turn right into Gate 3 Park in the parking structure to the left, there is a $6 charge >From the 110 Southbound Exit Adams Go straight, you'll hit Figueroa, take a right (south) Pass Adams Pass Jefferson and turn right into Gate 3 Park in the parking structure to the left, there is a $6 charge After you park Once you've parked exit the parking structure the way you came in, and turn left (i.e. away from the gate). Walk along the path and you'll be walking toward three buildings. The one slightly to the left of the end of the path is VKC, it has red brick, and a tall tower on top of the building with a large golden globe on the top of the tower. On the right of VKC is SOS, it's very short, and to the right of that is a very tall building. Right behind these buildings is THH (Taper Hall of Humanities). This is the building you want. It's very long, and L-shaped. Towards the right is an overhang and some glass doors, go in there and follow the signs to the correct room. Rooms beginning with 1 are on ground level, rooms beginning with 2 are upstairs.
