OpenWrt has /dev/random and /dev/urandom. The SSH daemon dropbear, which is installed by default under OpenWrt, uses /dev/urandom. > my initial thought is edit the source and change all references to > /dev/urandom to /dev/random - this would reduce the randomness a bit > but would also reduce loading (and in this case, may enable it to > run) Isn't it vice versa? AFAIK /dev/random provides strong random data, which /dev/urandom doesn't guarantee. I don't know why the tor binary crashes on the Linksys router. I can't reproduce this bug on my Asus router. I used a current OpenWrt WhiteRussian build tree to create the binary packages. So far I never had problems to mix packages from the current build tree with packages from WhiteRussian RC5, but maybe something has changed recently.
