Is the root filesystem read/write or read-only? Can you write to it anywhere? If you can write somewhere and have plenty of storage (>300MB), I'd start by creating a Debian chroot. Use debootstrap, tell it you want mips, and upload it to the device. Of course, it doesn't look like the telnet interface you have supports chroot, so you will need to fish out busybox-static from Debian (the mips version, of course), and go from there. > and, lm-sensors to control fan speed, if possible ? If the hardware supports it, then possibly, but I believe the kernel also needs support. I don't know whether the device's kernel is in ROM or not. If the kernel doesn't support it, you'll likely need to grab the source from the manufacturer's website. (Although you may be waiting a long time. NetComm didn't publish the source to one of their routers on their site, and said they only send it on a CD for $10 postage. Fortunately after >60 days they decided to upload the source to their FTP site instead.)
