I actually have an older router, but the file seemed to indicate that I should use the experimental either way (I'm actually a little unclear). Plus, who wants to use something in a folder labeled "OBSOLETE?" So I went and got the experimental source and started compiling it, and it's still going...
I will probably have a lot of networking questions for all you TriLUGgers later on when I try to start setting up this thing. I want to use it to bridge (I think that's the right term...) my router and my roommate's wirelessly. I.e., he has "the Internet", and I want to get it with any computer plugged into the ports of my WRT54G. I had it working in Alchemy, kinda. Actually, that's how I'm going to send this e-mail. I did the client thing. The problem is that I can't access this computer from outside of this router, which isn't what I want since I use it for a lot of file sharing (locally only...) and printer sharing (and ssh). So I would rather have my router be transparent in the network, i.e., as if this computer were really on the router that has "the Internet". Anyone know specifically how to set this up in OpenWRT? I got some brief ideas based on message boards and some brief notes in documentation. But so far I haven't found a good howto for this specific setup...
