OpenWrt's cramfs filesystem contains a minimal set of applications to configure the router to an opperational state, this maximizes the resources available to user packages which will be stored on the jffs2 partition.
A: OpenWrt is still in beta, packages will be posted to sourceforge as they become available.
A: The goal with OpenWrt is to provide the minimal sized distribution required to start the router and operate in failsafe modes.

Installing OpenWrt is easy, but in addition to the aforementioned warranty-voiding, be aware of the potential for locking yourself out of your router in the event that the installation process fails or you make configuration changes that your hardware doesn't like.
There are two ways to obtain OpenWrt firmware: compile the source or grab a binary.
This means that although you installed OpenWrt, your router still acts as a wireless access point and switch.

 Flashing to OpenWrt Firmware
The DMZ LED on the front of the WRT is used by OpenWrt to indicate the boot status.
The LED is on while OpenWrt is booting, and is turned off once the boot process is complete.
OpenWrt packages are available from OpenWrt's whiterussian package repositry, and from the package tracker page.

 Linux.com | OpenWrt nears prime-time
OpenWrt, the GPLed Linux distribution for wireless routers, is at RC4 and is nearing the 1.0 release.
I found that of all the WRT54G-compatible firmware projects, OpenWrt was (and still is) the only project that is not just trying to cram some extra features into the standard firmware or adapt it for a specific usage scenario, but instead created a new, modular system that others like myself could hack and build on.
All in all, the OpenWrt Admin Console (webif) is a nice tool that makes OpenWrt a little more accessible to non-guru users like me. I've heard unofficial chatter on the #openwrt channel on the FreeNode IRC network that iptables management will be included in a future version.

 Nyetwork Wiki: OpenWrt
OpenWrt is a minimal system used for running a variety of consumer routing devices.
For most Linux users, OpenWrt is too difficult to set up and could yield a useless device (a brick, ironically a great building block for firewalls in the real world) – but for the average to experienced Linux user, the setup is not that bad.
OpenWrt itself seems to be getting more attention as more distributions are being created.

 OpenWrt Wireless Router
There are a number of alternative linux-based firmwares available for the WRT54GS, but for various reasons, I decided to use OpenWrt.
OpenWrt is a linux distribution for the Linksys WRT54G.
For users this means the ability to custom tune features, removing unwanted packages to make room for other packages and for developers this means being able to focus on packages without having to test and release an entire firmware.

OpenWrt is free software, provided AS-IS under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
OpenWrt is an unofficial firmware which is neither endorsed or supported by the vendor of your router.
Another thing is that the ASUS WL-500G/WL-300G doesn't seem to revert to the 192.168.1.1 address when starting the bootloader, but seems to use the LAN IP address set in NVRAM, so try this address or use the recovery tool if you've got problems flashing your firmware.

For those of you not familiar with OpenWrt, whiterussian is the codename for the stable release.
If you've been using OpenWrt you'll probably already know this, but for the benefit of those using OpenWrt for the first time: Squashfs files: The firmwares with "squashfs" in the filename use a combination of a readonly squashfs partition and a writable jffs2 partition.
To restore from such a file you'll need to use OpenWrt's mtd command: mtd -e linux -r write firmware.trx linux Other methods of reflashing are likely to stop at the end of the trx data, before restoring the jffs2 data.

 Hotrod Your Linksys WAP with Linux
OpenWRT got its start when it was discovered that the much-acclaimed Linksys WRT54G/GS ran on GPL (define) code, but did not distribute source code as is required.
OpenWRT uses a writable filesystem, and is designed to be extensible and customizable.
OpenWRT runs on a number of similar boxes, not just the Linksys, because they are all powered by the same Broadcom chipsets.

 Rop's OpenWRT software repository
The Linksys software that comes with the device is also based on Linux, but OpenWRT packs a 'Flash File System', meaning you can create and change single files in the flash ROM of the device, instead of having to create a whole new 'disk image' every time you need to change one file.
Let's get started: If you are not yet running OpenWRT on your Linksys, go to the OpenWRT website first, and follow the instructions there.

 Asterisk on OpenWRT - Lest Blood Be Shed
OpenWRT is a linux distro that runs on the Linksys WRT-G/GS wireless G routers.
These OpenWRT routers are fully functional linux installs without all the hassle or electrical cost of a full machine running.
I actually first tried to turn the OpenWRT router into a simple bridge but ran into some problems being able to use the package tools as well as the WAN port on the machine.

 OpenWrt / WRT54G v2.2 / WRT54GS v1.1
The key change appears to be a different ethernet switch, controlled by the ethernet (et) driver; with the change comes a new compatibility check, a new byte in the bin header created by addpattern.
OK, using the mjn3's addpattern from openwrt snapshot, and the addpattern distributed with the Linksys GPL 3.03.1 release, I spot only a byte that's different.
I've completed a proper openwrt build, with the new Ethernet/Switch driver, and new wifi driver and the most salient mtd changes applied to the stock openwrt (2.07) tree.

 Hotrod Your Linksys WAP with Linux (Part 2)
The OpenWRT developers didn't bother with requiring a telnet password, because telnet transmits in cleartext, so using a password is pretty much pointless.
OpenWRT installs with roughly the same functionality as the original Linksys firmware, so you can configure basic network settings without installing additional packages.
Be sure to visit the the OpenWRT home page for the latest news, releases, and important information.

Conflicts aside, the OpenWrt partition is 32X the size of > the nvram partition -- and that's not counting compression.
OpenWRT is a great project that is doing cutting edge work, I have a lot of respect for what they are doing.
On the other hand, they are not out to meet our specific needs and they are going in a very different direction from what I think we need.

I was able to spend several hours this week to work on upcoming OpenWrt GUI.
If you never turn on JavaScript out of fear of viruses or you use "real man" browsers like Mosaic 1.0 and such, you will not be able to use my implementation.
Don't fret, OpenWrt will have a plain jane version, which will work even for text-based browsers.

Finally I bit the bullet and decided to implement OpenWrt web-based user interface using Felix Fietkau's code.
Well, MIPS processors used by OpenWrt units are not race horses and GUI is slow to my taste.
We can apply the same for OpenWrt, where "slow network speed" is replaced with "slow processor on local network".

 The OpenWrt Project - What The Wiki?!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
OpenWrt is a Linux distribution for wireless lan routers, such as Linksys WRT54G and Asus WL500g.
Instead of trying to cram every possible feature into one firmware, OpenWrt provides only a minimal firmware with support for add-on packages.
We would like to present the OpenWrt distribution for interested beginners and developers.

 LWN: Linux wireless freedom with OpenWrt (NewsForge)
So comparing the two one could say that Sveasoft is trying to cram some more features into the original firmware and OpenWrt is trying to build a new and better base system for wireless routers (it runs on many similar non-Linksys units and is being ported to different architectures as well).
Regarding features, there is basically only one i really miss in OpenWRT: static DHCP (lets you assignate fixed IPs and DNS names to hosts based on their MAC address).
Basically this enables one to use packages from OpenWRT without needing to update the whole firmware (requires a rw filesystem, which is not turned on by default due to the compression ratio)

 Tech-Quests and Life in Amsterdam: OpenWRT and resetting the root password
Facing a lost root password on a Linksys WRT54G with OpenWRT on a friend his ANC node is not a funny thing, it is not only embarrassing but this was also a first for me to fix this under OpenWRT.
Howto reset the root password on a OpenWRT dated 17 Sept 2004 with telnet disabled and dropbear as ssh server with a v2 WRT54G.
The OpenWRT booted normal and started dropbear and olsrd as it was configured to do many many months ago and I could ssh to the box and use the 'new' root password.

 OpenWrt Buildroot - Usage and documentation
OpenWrt Buildroot is a set of Makefiles and patches that allows to easily generate both a cross-compilation toolchain and a root filesystem for your Wireless Router.
This compilation toolchain is called the "host compilation toolchain", and more generally, the machine on which it is running, and on which you're working is called the "host system".
OpenWrt Buildroot has a nice configuration tool similar to the one you can find in the Linux Kernel (http://www.kernel.org/) or in Busybox (http://www.busybox.org/).

 Berliner Quakeforen :: View topic - OpenWRT
And with the idea of providing support we could post firmware and firmware deviations as openwrt is compiled into to different variant.
As of right now the only problem with the openwrt distro is that it needs to be compiled on linux.
Lets just post source + binaries and post in the openwrt forums that we wanna port anything thaat can be ported, and encourage them to have their compilers to post binaries so windows guys can reap the rewards + I don't have to spend 8 hours on something silly

 ControlAP
To restore a wrt54g or wrt54gs to the Linksys firmware after replacing it with OpenWRT (or another firmware) make sure you first have the boot_wait nvram variable set to on (from telnet or ssh issue the commands: "nvram set boot_wait=on" and "nvram commit").
You can keep trying to telnet until you can connect to verify the firmware has uploaded but note that it may still be in the process of booting.
For example, this is useful to add additional protection to internal lan (wired computers connected to the external router) from wireless users, and to add custom rules and filters, such as limiting access to destinations or other users.

 NewsForge | Asterisk on OpenWrt
Now there's even a version of Asterisk that runs on OpenWrt, a Linux distribution designed to run on your wireless router (see "OpenWrt nears prime time").
I'm still waiting to hear why Asterisk on OpenWRT is "worthwhile" but, not worthwhile enough to depend on for your home office.
This seems like a minimal load configuration to me. Your article paints a rosy picture of Asterisk on OpenWRT but, if it can't handle a single extension with two line appearances, I'd have to think it was pure shite.

For now, installation of OpenWRT on the WRT54G is beyond the scope of this document.
It helps to "see" what the various interfaces are passing and if anything is getting returned from your tunnel broker.
Once you have OpenWRT installed and have added in the IPv6 packages added in, you'll need to find a tunnel broker.

OpenWrt is an alternative firmware for the Linksys WRT54G family of routers.
Although this is thoroughly discussed in the OpenWrt User Guide and reiterated in the OpenWrtFaq, the basic commands are worth repeating here.
With the OpenWrt firmware, one assumes total control over the wireless portion of the device, so it is possible to use it in access point, client, or bridge mode.
