Yes, please! I would suggest a list of hw that is just plain fully supported. For example, I need to buy an ADSL2+ something-or-other (preferably modem, but it looks like there are none, so next choice is bridge, but it seems like almost everything has at least a switch built-in, etc...) . I don't want something I can't hack-into-submission. After _much_ research I'm still undecided. As such what we should have is some sort of table of fully supported h/w (everything works) that is thus by definition not flaky, along with h/w specs, ie. - flash size - ram size - cpu bogospeed - # of usb links (host) - # of usb links (device) - # of ethernet ports (and what speed: 100mbit? gigabit?) - wireless (802.11a?b?g?n? dual-band?) - (A)DSL(/2/2+)? - notes (serial? jtag? debugability, recoverability? opensource fully? 2.6 kernel?) Basically a table which answers the ever-present question: I know what h/w features I want, I know I want to run OpenWrt, which H/W should I buy? We don't need to list many devices. I think listing maybe a dozen solidly supported devices would be enough. _______________________________________________ openwrt-users mailing list openwrt-users@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-users
