You are welcome. The Speedport here runs with r9053 (2.6.22.4) with an 
uptime of currently seven days great too. I don't feel like upgrading 
atm because there are >500km between me and the W701V if something fails.

I ran into that one too. OpenWrt is doing NAT via iptables, so you'll 
need to include iptables in your image. Otherwise internet access is 
only possible from the router itself.

The only thing I'm really missing is an USB-Port. Maybe I should go for 
a W900V but 1. it's too expensive and 2. I'll wait for Danube :D

No idea, but if everything is working as expected you can safely ignore 
those messages I reckon.
