Hello. I thought I'd just point out that I've started on a project (based heavily upon this MightOhm one -- thank you!) where I am trying to make a Asus WL-520gU into a wireless webcam server.

In order to get this done, I've had to compile with kernel 2.6.x, use external mass storage (using a flash drive), installing extensions and apps on the flash drive, etc. Even if I don't succeed in making a WebCam server, I hope that something I post will be helpful to others.

I'm not done yet (as I write this) with the series, and would love it if anyone could comment suggestions (here, or on the blog).

First article.
Second article.

And, the blog in general:

It's a new blog, and so any comments or suggestions are welcome!

It's really great to see someone working on the 2.6 kernel with this router. If you do get a chance to play with the wireless, please let us know what the status of b43 is. I keep seeing that it should be working "any day now" and truthfully I haven't checked in weeks, so for all I know wireless is working now...

Hi

Just wanted to let you know I'm subscribed to both your blogs

I've got my own WL-520GU project and should be posting about it within the next couple of weeks.

(2.4 Kernel, LIBFDTI to control USB Relay Board, IP Camera, Floats...)

Did you manage to get kernel 2.6 working on the router? I want to try 2.6 because I don't really need wireless but the OpenWRT WL-520GU wiki page seems to say that 2.6 won't boot without some patches. Is this fixed now?

I'm now compiling the 2.6 version.

I will test on my wl-500gpv2 as soon I have the serial pin on the board.

I will say to you if work and ask to MightOhm if he can post into mirror.

The image I've build boot but no wireless module working. I have a 500 gp v2
