I have a TP-LINK WA801ND v2. I found this post about building OpenWrt 12.09 for this device.

Now I wanted to build OpenWrt myself to exclude some packages from the firmware. I used 14.07 instead of 12.09:

git clone git://git.openwrt.org/14.07/openwrt.git

While applying the patch I saw that most files already contained references to this device:

target/linux/ar71xx/base-files/etc/diag.sh
target/linux/ar71xx/base-files/etc/uci-defaults/01_leds
target/linux/ar71xx/base-files/etc/uci-defaults/02_network
target/linux/ar71xx/base-files/lib/ar71xx.sh
target/linux/ar71xx/base-files/lib/upgrade/platform.sh
target/linux/ar71xx/generic/profiles/tp-link.mk
target/linux/ar71xx/image/Makefile
target/linux/ar71xx/patches-3.10/700-MIPS-ath79-add-TL-WA801NDv2-suport.patch
tools/firmware-utils/src/mktplinkfw.c

I was missing these files or they didn't contain any references:

target/linux/ar71xx/config-3.10
target/linux/ar71xx/files/arch/mips/ath79/mach-tl-wa801nd-v2.c

I can't find anything about this device on the wiki. Not in the supported list, deprecated supported list, the could be deployed list, the work in progress list, the insufficient information list and the cannot be supported list.

So my question is: what's the status of this device? Is it WIP? Or is it ready for use? I've never done anything like this so it would be cool if I just could clone & build. tongue
