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?

Subject: [Eug-lug] Re: cheap dd-wrt capable router

Hi Ben,

No, I'm not doing anything at all with the "n" part.  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.
