-====== Backfire build 3 ======
+This needs reorganized. Maybe dates and openwrt svn revisions... ugh
-  * Included kmod-rt61ap and rt61ap.sh which allows some configuration via /etc/config/wireless
-  * Copied brcm47xx method of changing size/crc of flashed image upon first boot. therefore we can include jffs marker and properly format jffs first time!
-  * Also, anytime you hold reset button while button, jffs will be formatted. in case you want to do that before messing with fail safe (holding SES button during boot).
-  * Changed packages in default built. Namely removed ppp stuff and added wireless tools.
-  * Removed usbcore from kernel. Will provide modular package in my opkg repository soon... Want to fix usb-storage for USB2.0 devices first, otherwise it's not very useful.
-  * Added X-Wrt repo.
-====== Backfire build 2 ======
+====== OpenWRT devel build 5 =====
-  * fixed nor map bug where flashing from factory firmware, automatic partition guessing didn't stop at first squashfs, thus the recovery partition squashfs was detected and ... squashed our flash flat. :(
+  * Fix wifi again. build4 didn't send beacons. I must have not incorporated all the right parts of Helmut's patch, or rt2x00-git is much different than compat-wireless-2011-01-06, or the rt61pci doesn't fetch beacons periodically. So now it fetches them, and it's handled in the irq, since this is what caused CPU to be eaten by handling it in thread or even tasklet... hrm!!!
-====== Backfire build 1 ======
+====== OpenWRT devel build 4 =====
-  * initial release.
+  * Started with a fresh checkout of openwrt trunk r24978.
+  * Hopefully fixed wifi issues. Helmut Schaa made the patches against git-tree, I applied them manually to the compat-wireless in trunk.
+  * Ported my MTD map from backfire: the kernel+rootfs image is split on first boot to speedup future boots, and jffs2 is formatted on firstboot like it should be.
+====== OpenWRT devel build 3 =====
+  * Upgraded to Linux 2.6.36!
+  * LZMA loader totally faster. RAM->RAM expansion now, the super slow lzma read() callback for FLASH is gone (thus can boot it with TFTP/serial)! Also passes boot arguments to kernel.
+  * kernel reads cmdline from bootloader. Also memory size.
+  * Re-worked ethernet driver to use platform_device instead of pci_device. Now the source is very small and customized to our chip, and I will eventually have an easier time adding switch/phy driver. (maybe performance improvement too since less code...)
+====== OpenWRT devel build 2 =====
+  * Fixed same bug I originally had in backfire's NOR map. Squashfs detection. Virgin routers found the recovery squashfs, and that squashed the partition table :(
+  * Disabled Wifi LEDs to see if it improved performance :(
+====== OpenWRT devel build 1 =====
+  * Initial release based on kernel 2.6.35.7.
