Hi,

thanks for your feedback and sorry for my mistake. 
Now I tried
openwrt-brcm47xx-legacy-asus-wl-500gp-v2-squashfs.trx
from r45811 and it works. Great!

I'm wondering whether we should improve the "make menuconfig" help text 
about subtarget selection a little bit. Just for users like me, not reading
the wiki page _before_ running the compiler :-)

Regards, mhei
