Yeah, there are several of us here, and probably a few more on the main BLU list, who run 3rd party firmware on routers. This sort of thing is exactly what the Hardware Hacker list was created for. I'm glad Kurt had at least some advice to offer. I ran DD-WRT for a year or so before switching to Tomato, and although I've looked over the guides for setting up a bridge, I've never attempted it. As you found, there seems to be some conflicting info. And lots of reports of people having problems getting it to work. > I haven't gotten any replies on the DD-WRT forum, which is hard to > believe. I've had similar results there. The Tomato community is pretty decent, but possibly more fractured. I use the TomatoUSB variant, and there are at least a few different sites where it is discussed. You might want to try posting to: http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?forum/ They have a DD-WRT forum and a bunch of others, some of which might be applicable. (The Tomato forums there may even be more active than the ones at the http://tomatousb.org/ site. 66K messages. Many of the same devs hang out there. I don't follow linksysinfo.org, but data mine there on occasion.) The OpenWRT forums: https://forum.openwrt.org/ would be another place to try. There's a lot of overlap, but if OpenWRT doesn't claim to support the hardware you are using, it may take some skill to determine what advice they offer is applicable. It's always worth looking over the HOWTO guides and wikis of the competing distributions when you run into a dead-end using the material provided for the distribution you are using. -Tom _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
