There seems to be little information on this device? no internal pictures and nothing about the RS232 interface?
Wondering what the state of a standard build of openWRT would do?
I'm yet to pull it apart, but I'll probably connect up console shortly, I see various notes of some of the pre-built images for DD-WRT noting bricking it with ease, unrecoverable even with serial so I'm apprehensive about just trying to put a standard build on there.

I am working on it with a friend (he bought one)
In the next weeks we try to publish our progress in the wiki (http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/linksys/e3200)
Last night we soft-bricked it and had a hard time to recover. Next we solder some pins on the serial port.
Next time we build with binary broadcom drivers (soft-brick was caused by unsupported wireless and ethernet/switch)
Feel free to contact me

Hope you will get the 5Ghz usb adaptor to work, tomato and dd-wrt dont support the 5Ghz usb adaptor.
I loaded the latest snapshot, but only the ethernet lan interface shows up in the Sept 25 snapshot. Ho hum. Looks like a pipedream.

What do you mean? What's the problem? Report the issue, provide logs...
It's not really a problem or a bug, but rather I think it was never supported, nor do I think it ever will be at this point. However, it someone would like to, I could probably set up a port forward. I have a Xilinx USB jtag if that is useful, too.
Here's the output:

It's not really a problem or a bug, but rather I think it was never supported, nor do I think it ever will be at this point.
I still have no idea what are you talking/complaining about. What do you mean by "only the ethernet lan interface shows up"? Did you expect WiFi interface and it doesn't appear? If you meant that, b43 unfortunately still doesn't support N-PHY rev 9, so yeah, that's the known problem for now.
Yes that's what I meant.
Guys, please could you advise a link to download the E3200 firmware? I read the WiKi and now it is still on very early stage, but I would like to try it. thanks
EDIR: Found it at http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/brcm47xx/

I set the E3200 run with OpenWRT , it is very stable. But still cannot start the WiFi. I know, it is an issue (especially the 5GHz), but I read somewhere some guys have set it run the 2.4Ghz. What modules/packages shall I install and run? I tried and installed a lot of them, including the 47xx driver.. The lsusb returns the WiFi is attached.. But cannot start the WiFi, no modules in the LuCi. Any ideas?
The discussion might have continued from here.
