Never used an x86 version of any, sorry. > > -- > William L.

While I consider openwrt completely different, those two are very similar. I prefer tomato not only for ethical reasons, but the QoS on the tomato works quite well. Also, the ability to manage your network, see real time usage, connection graphs etc are all features tomato completely trumps DD-WRT for. I also have experienced a much more stable firmware with tomato, DD-WRT I used to have some problems with the occasional crash (much more than occasional if operating in any mode other than infrastructure, for example wireless client mode). I suspect many of these things have improved since the last time I used DD-WRT. I do still use a micro version for a neutered wrt54g I've got, but it's not really fair to DD-WRT to base any opinions off of this crappy micro version on the crappy linksys with its 2mb of flash. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive http://marc.info/?l=jaxlug-list&r=1&w=2 RSS Feed http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.xml Unsubscribe [email protected]
