Hello there,
is the Netgear DG834PNB router supported by OpenWRT? (I couldn't find in the list of (un-)supported routers.) If not, when will it be supported?

thx

From a quick search on google it seems to have Broadcom 63xx chipset.

The DG834GT and DG834N are also BCM63xx-based:

I am not one of the developers, so I have no idea if Kamikaze will work on your router or if anyone's working on it.  If you can hook up a serial console and compare the boot log with the DG834GT and DG834N you might be able to get an idea of whether or not it's likely to work.

Hm. The DG834PNB seems to be the german version (Annex-B) of the DG834PN (Annex-A).
Here is any information I got from telnet:

# cat /proc/cpuinfo
system type             : 96348GW-10
processor               : 0

VCEI exceptions         : not available

# cat /proc/mtd

mtd2: 00010000 00002000 "bootloader"
mtd3: 00010000 00010000 "nvram"

How can I readout the boot log?

Normally you would need to connect a serial cable to the router and use a terminal program (e.g. Hyperterm on Windows or minicom on Linux) to capture the messages that are printed as the router boots.

You could try running dmesg from the command line after telnetting in to see if that will give you anything.

Also, if you open the router up and have a look at the chips used for flash and the switch you might be able to find other routers on the Wiki that have the same chips.  There are sometimes photographs on the wiki of routers.  See if there's one that looks like yours.

You might also try asking on IRC if anyone knows if OpenWrt will work on your router.
