Comment (by sturia):
Hi,
to install openwrt on the TG582n I had to follow a pretty painful process.
In my case as well the native bootloader didn't accept any non-thompson
firmware. This painful process funnels down to directly programming the
flash with an open bootloader (CFE if I remember correctly) and then
flashing openwrt. This requires some soldering on the board and a parallel
port, but fortunately it doesn't require the JTAG interface.
I followed this guide
http://www.ilpuntotecnicoeadsl.com/forum/index.php?topic=74457.0
(unfortunately it's in Italian only) and it eventually worked.
Too bad both WiFi and USB weren't working, so it was pretty useless to
have openwrt on it, and I reverted back to the original firmware.
I might give it another shot in next months, with a newer openwrt release.
