Ligowave just came out with a few nice looking products, including dual and quad radio external routers.  Their price point is really good (external dual radio for $305).  What would it take for openwrt to support it?  The better ones are based on Intel IXP processors, with at least 8MB of flash and 64MB of RAM, and Atheros based mini-pci radios.

We have a few of these routers in-hand, so we are ready to try openwrt out right away.  The default firmware is based on Wili, so hopefully supporting openwrt is as easy as 123....or just a bit harder.

You need to add board specific support and submit patches to us. Some thing are pretty generic on IXP4xx (flash access, serial ports, etc), but other things are not (PHY IDs, GPIO mapping for PCI, etc).
Alternatively, you cna donate a board to work on.

We can donate a box.....absolutely.  If we do, how long does it usually take?  Couple of days/weeks/months?

As it seems to have serial (does it need a special cable?) and already runs RedBoot, I would say I could get it work within a week.

Okay, asked them about the console. Normal level RJ11

I check the shipping cost to Budapest....wow....I was impressed.  Over $250....almost more than the box itself!  I assumed you are there, right?  If we give you access to a linux computer which is connected through the serial port to the ligowave router, would that work?  We can even put a special power adapter to it, so you can power cycle the box if there is a problem.  (we have the serial already working).

I sent Kaloz a Gateworks board last year via air mail.  The cost was only about $9 and took less than a week.   Of course the post office has no interest in telling you the most economical shipping method.  There was no insurance, but at the cost of an insured delivery the board could just about be replaced.

Yup, even USPS  EMS should be around $50 max.. I'm always wondering how didn't the expensive carriers bankrupt..

That could work, but it's more complicated that way Or as I've said, you can use USPS with either normal airmail ("priority mail") or EMS ("express mail") - you can check http://ircalc.usps.gov/ for prices.

Yes, USPS is indeed a lot less.  I wonder how DHL and UPS (which are the ones I checked) can charge so much more. Kaloz, I will send you an email so that we can exchange some additional information.
