I have one of these (wgps606 print server) and wonder if anyone has tried open software on it.
I downloaded the wgps606_v1_0_020.zip firmware upgrade file from netgear and extracted a file called WGPS606_V1.0_020.img. I have grep thru the .img file for the word "Linux" and I see that the binary matches.
There are also lots of strings that look like vram settings and other WRT looking stuff.
After poking around a bit I was unable to find any cramfs headers, so I was unable to do any further looking at the image.
I then installed a serial port to the header inside the box and watched the boot messages. I see the following:

Done.I have heard that VXworks does do linux along with their own embedded system and suspect that this may be one of them.
Any anyone have throughts on openwrt possibly running on this processor or where I should go next?
