>From what I understand, Linksys switched to linux-based OS and compatable hardware when they introduced the G wireless tech. The earlier B models are, to the best of my understanding, not compatable with linux-based firmware. I suspect the hardware is not beefy enough (too slow of a CPU, too little flash/ram) as well as much hardware that is not currently linux-supported.
In other words, if you want to run linux on it, it needs to be a G-wireless router. If you have an older router, and its not listed on OpenWRT's hardware list, then it is very unlikely to ever run linux. --Jim On 12/2/07, Gregg Levine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Dec 2, 2007 7:16 AM, Paul Alfille <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > In general the G is backward-compatible with B. > > > > Paul Alfille > > > > > > > > On Dec 1, 2007 12:52 AM, Gregg C Levine <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > wrote: > > > Hello! > > > Indeed. > > > I looked at the list of gear, and naturally the one I want to use isn't on > > > the list.
