Has anyone tried it on a AR430W router (Airlink101 makes it). I know it isn't the best router, but has anyone tried it on there. I am trying to find some sort of replacement firmware for it. Please let me know.

ddwrt seems to be working on it, I am hoping we should get openwrt on it was well

For anyone looking for these, it keeps going on sale on frys.com for $19.99, it has 4MB/16MB memory, Atheros chipset.

- LS

I tried openwrt kamikaze 7.09 on AR430W. Loading / flashing was successful and I was able to log into the router using root account.
Then, I installed web interface just to get things up quickly. No issues.
Wireless was disabled by default. On terminal, dmesg shows that wifi0 is available and atheros chipset is seen.
But when I enabled the radio and enabled a wifi interface through web page, the router HUNG !!!
My session was lost and as I didnt have any serial port access, I could not log back in.
The only way to get it back was - REFLASH !!! I tried kamikaze twice but no luck.
Finally reverted back to DD-WRT.

Can anyone please let me know what can be wrong here ?
I have the ImageBuilder installed and I am ready to make any change on the image if needed. If I get successful, I will post my summary and compiled binaries if needed.
AR430W seems to be a good router..
Need help here... and this is a fun project.

OK... GOOD NEWS.

I have solved my own problem after a couple of days.
I picked up latest snapshot of kamikaze 7.09 as of 4/28/08, made changes to madwifi source and then re-compiled.
The new generated binaries worked on Airlink101 AR430W 802.11g router. I am able to use Wifi and Lan/Wan now.
I will post my steps later.. need to catch up on some sleep now.. but it was a good exercise and I am off DD-WRT now

Thanks !!!
