I read this blog post http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2008/06/open_source_hardware_routers.html?ref=most_discussed
Just wondering if any of you tried using custom linux kernel with your routers. I have ADSL modem+router. I am frustrated not being able to connect and disconnect my internet connection in scheduled times (I have night time free, otherwise it is limited connection). I think replacing the kernel would be fun and also it might help me enable such features. Or any other simpler means? My modem does not have any APIs documented. It has web based interface for administration. I tried to do little automation in bringing up the page, and auto-click required options/buttons. It was a disaster since there are so many variables in the process (browser with/without tabs, page load time differences, etc.)
