Hello, I'm new to the Open WRT world smile
I still have an old homebox 6641 that I have never used. According to the wiki, it is not supported yet. Is there a specific reason for this? There are also missing pictures from the board. I took some pictures if you would like to include them in the wiki. Is it possible to read other data from the pictures? How big is the chance that openwrt will works?

It's not going to be supported, well, the base SOC (CPU, flash, ethernet) perhaps - the included xDSL modem and wlan however 'never' (no drivers).

I dont need/want WLAN. Wanted it only as a modem benefit with OpenVPN and the four LAN ports.

And that's 'never' going to be possible, due to the lack of modem drivers - chances for that to change are between zero and extremely low.

Okay, thank you for the information sad
Can you tell me which "cheap" xDSL (100mbits) router with 4/5x Gigalan ports can i buy what supports Opwnwrt?

The discussion might have continued from here.
