Yeh, we can't promote Asterisk based on some platform that will not be freely
available,
although the idea is cute and it does illustrate a possible future direction
this is a long way from a business solution.

SN's starting with CNG7 are the bad ones, CNG1/2/3/4/5/6 are fine. But
once again, this is getting too geeky. We should focus on how it can
solve a legitimate business problem rather that which version needs to
be used.

Another thing to note is that the new versions of the WRT54G and
WRT54GS aren't capable of running openwrt anymore. They've changed
the platform completely. The hardware table on openwrt.org
<http://openwrt.org> has the serial numbers of the new models so you
know what not to buy.

RE: Asterisk on Linksys WRT54GS
Bar far the easiest method is to replace the router firmware with
OpenWRT (http://www.openwrt.org). Asterisk is made available as an
optional OpenWRT package. The original work was done by Brian
Capouch.
We will have one at the show (mine) and Nabeel has offered a WiFi
phone
to use the AP.
I'm not sure if pushing OpenWRT is the right thing to do though. This
quickly deteriorates into geek speek "what funky platforms can we put
Linux on" discussion as opposed to what business function we can
enable.
I think if the WRT portion stays in the brochure, rather than
point to
product URL's we should articulate its usefulness as a remote PBX
endpoint over IP that is fully integrated for the remote & teleworker
crowd. Strictly business - a $100 access point that provides this
function sure beats the proprietary solutions from Nortel/Avaya.
Position it as an "office in a box". Router, WiFi, SPI Firewall, PBX
endpoint, Captive portal to police the kids access, Samba +
minimal web
server to publish docs to collegues/customers, ... expand as you like
..., etc.
For what it's worth, OpenWRT has become much more portable now and is
available on "most" higer-end WiFi routers to varying degrees of
functionality. The newest Asus and Netgear units have USB 2.0 ports
which can address a memory key and provide some significant
non-volatile
storage.
