Indeed. From what I understand from reading the LKML, embedded in the firmware that you can download is a cramfs image. As long as they don't do something silly like have the bootloader only run signed software, then we could just make a new set of files, make a cramfs out of them, and reflash. Makes me want to go buy more Linksys hardware in *spite* of my experience with it. :-) -- --My blog is at angry-economist.russnelson.com | Rebecca's incredibly neat Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | County Fair quilt is now 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | at http://rebeccanelson.com/ Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | quilt/index.html -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
