I have worked a lot with similar code, but not directly with dd-wrt. My work was on Atheros based routers that were also embedded Linux.
What exactly do you want to try and do? Run applications on top? Modify the wifi code?

For that matter, I'm not doing anything interesting with the "b/g" part other than verifying that it works. My reason for getting this router was to try out the development environment for dd-wrt and/or other open source router firmware. I don't know of *any* similarly-priced models, new or refurb, with or without 802.11n, that support dd-wrt. There are cheaper routers but I have not seen any that support dd-wrt. This might just show that I'm not too good at searching but it's hard to beat $35 by much. If you or anyone else out there knows of a cheaper dd-wrt compatible router, please let me know. One reason that I didn't want to spend a lot on this router is that there is some chance that I might ruin it. Hopefully that will not happen but if it does, I don't want much cash invested in a paperweight. On the subject of writing code to run under dd-wrt, does anyone reading this have any experience along those lines? Most of the instructions I have seen are about recompiling/rebuilding the dd-wrt O/S but I would rather start with a "hello world" program. - Dave Ben Barrett wrote: > So are you doing anything interesting with the "n" part?
