[OpenWrt-Users] AR7 status (wrt DG834Gv3 particularly, WAG354G too)

[Marco Simioni]

Don't know if it can be useful,
but some time ago i tried to replace the DG834v3 firmware with
openwrt, without success.
I was able to upload the firmware image via web interface, but i
bricked the item. If i can remember correctly, i was able to upload
openwrt on a DG834v2 without problems.

So i decided to recompile the original open source kernel for v3, wich
is a linux-2.4.17_mvl21, with the correct toolchain, and i was able to
build and upload a custom "firmware".

If you have questions, try to ask, i'll try to restore the old informations.

Bye,
