After not succeeding to make a reliable router from the neoware computer, i've decided to move to another computer, this time the fastest that i have.
It's a HP DX2300 with E2160 as CPU with 1GB Ram. And of course, SATA.

I've dd-ed the kamikaze 809 x86 ext2 file to my hdd and trying to boot it. No luck. The last thing it says is 

ne2k-pci.c:v1.03 9/22/2003 D. Becker/P. Gortmaker

..and it stays like that.

I've tryed to deactivate onboard sound and lan but the error remains.

Any suggestion ?
Or, i have to ask, anyone happy with this software on x86 ? If yes, what computer and what version ?

Found the problem. I've used a usb keyboard. And for some reason, doesn't work. One old keyboard on ps2 worked.
Now i have to find 2 lan cards that work with OpenWRT.

The discussion might have continued from here.
