So far I use my newly born router as a wireless adapter. It seems to work well, except not being able to access to OpenWrt from the IP address I set up for it (IP is 192.168.0.1, different than 192.168.1.1), even though I was able to, earlier this session.
In general, OpenWrt 8.09 seems to be working as expected. The thing I would like to do is to use that router as a wireless repeater (bridge).
