Hi!
I think I have a big problem with my wifi-card. I tried to boot with the original firmware from Netgear an with the prebuild image file "openwrt-wgt634u-2.6-squashfs.bin" from the download archive.
I'm logging the complete boot-up process via serial console and I get the following message during the wireless setup:

eth0.1: add 01:00:5e:00:00:01 mcast address to master interface
This happens everytime I try to boot the router (well.. now at least). At first there was nothing. Not even
a detected controller at the pci-bus.
Now it seems to work (in a way) and the network controller ist getting quite warm, but not as hot as the CPU. I think that ist ok.
(I tried to clean the pins with a rubber to get a better connection and it had some effect.)
But do you have any idea what could be going wrong now? Maybe some serious hardware defect?
Unfortunately I'm not that familiar with crosscompiling so it would be very difficult for me to get another kamikaze version
to run on the wgt. Do you have any suggestions what I could try with the prebuilt image I already have?
