 ====== Preface, Warnings, don't try this at home ======
-There is a problem that I have no one with serial console to assist with testing these firmwares before I post them. Thus, it is all at your **risk**. I do limited tested beforehand. OpenWRT currently won't flash from T-Mobile firmware. The U-boot header is only around the lzma-loader.

-I have successfully flashed openwrt from my own tight build tho...
 I have looked at our bootloader, and it has no method to attempt a failsafe TFTP flash as Broadcom's does. The WRT54G I believe will load a TFTP image from bootloader if kernel is broke without intervention. Our current bootloader will not. If you attempt to start a TFTP transfer, it will try again and again and again indefinitely, thus it will never start the flashed image. I am trying to find solution to this, and the best I can think of now is replacing the bootloader. This is tricky as well and may produce a real brick requiring a JTAG which I don't have! :(
-====== OpenWRT Backfire (10.03, r23044)  ======
-Basic openwrt build. Use opkg.conf from below and **opkg update** then **opkg install kmod-rt61ap** and maybe add ra0 to bridge in /etc/config/network i'm done k tks bye. :P
-binary: **direct link removed. more testing needed.. proceed with caution and attempt only if you have serial console access **
-if you're still willing, there is a webflash binary in the usual spot:
-[[http://wrt.scottn.us/|http://wrt.scottn.us/]]
-source: [[http://wrt.scottn.us/openwrt-backfire-adm8668-r1.tar.gz|http://wrt.scottn.us/openwrt-backfire-adm8668-r1.tar.gz]]
-=== opkg ===
-opkg.conf to include any packages i have made available [wifi drivers, duh]
-  src/gz packages http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03/brcm-2.4/packages
-  src adm8668 http://wrt.scottn.us/ipkg
-  dest root /
-  dest ram /tmp
-  lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists
-  option overlay_root /overlay
-  arch all 1
-  arch any 5
-  arch adm8668 10
-  arch brcm-2.4 20
-  arch mipsel 30
-===== Building it =====
-  $ svn co -r 23044 svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/backfire
-  $ cd backfire
-  $ wget http://wrt.scottn.us/openwrt-backfire-adm8668-r1.tar.gz
-  $ tar vfxz openwrt-backfire-adm8668-r1.tar.gz
-  $ rm target/linux/generic-2.4/patches/100-wireless-extension.patch
-  $ make menuconfig
-  Here you select 'adm8668' and that should be all that's required.
-  $ make
-  Take a nap.
-A few things may be different between binary and source. So far these have changed:
-  * Bug in FLASH MAP detection in kernel if 2 squashfs are seen (ie. our firmware is smaller than T-Mobile's kernel)
