Hi Hauke, What you mean by zram worked differently ? As far as I know zram (previously known as compcache) has been merged to the Linux Kernel at 3.2 so it should be there on 3.3 as well (check drivers/staging/zram).
I have talked to Bastien in another conversation and he mentioned he has a WRT54G running fine with Barrier Breaker (which has zram as a kmod package), but not sure it's enabled by default or not. I'm interested to to hear if it's having any improvements (how effective the swap zram is being used) and if it is a stripped down build (no LuCI and other packages) or a normal build. Also how big the swap zram should be ? 6MB (as kalua script suggests) or 8MB (half of the memory) ? I have seen a couple of people saying they have managed to flash brcm47xx Attitude Adjustment to WRT54G routers but got instability issues (slowness or disconnects). So if Barrier Breaker is working fine on WRT54G (with zram activated?) then what would be the challenges to port that work already done back to Attitude Adjustment ?
