-====== Introduction ======
+====== WRTU54G-TM OpenWRT ======
 Someone had to be brave enough to take on the creation of a 3rd party firmware for this thing. I'm Scott Nicholas, aka neutronscott. This wiki describes my work of porting Linksys' GPL sources to a modern Linux kernel, and subsequently plugging that into the OpenWRT system.
 ====== Current Status ======
-Latest binary is contributed by jdownj@twitter and built 18feb2011.
+: Official build seems available: http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09-rc2/adm8668/generic/
+April 7th, 2011: Created a snapshot directory -- http://wrt.scottn.us/snapshots/
 FIXME (insert the hardware device table showing progress again..)

-Maybe 'sysupgrade' works? ...
+I recall keeping configuration not working before. Do so at your own risk! If you have the backfire b1 or b2 try [[wrtu54g-tm:openwrt#upgrade_from_backfire|this]] or you need to edit /lib/upgrade/platform.sh and use PART_NAME=linux:rootfs:rootfs_data since things were partitioned differently then.

 ===== From a broken state =====
-If things go sour and you need to start fresh, you can also reflash an entire firmware from the bootloader. The bootloader doesn't offer a TFTP server, but a TFTP client, and access to the serial console is required. The procedure is documented [[wrtu54g-tm:uboot|here]]. (Not directly actually, but the page is about U-boot and should get you going).

 If you break the bootloader as well, you will want to learn about [[wrtu54g-tm:jtag|JTAG]].

 The only device specific function is that during bootup you may hold the SES button to activate fail-safe mode. This is useful for example if: you forgot your password, broke your configuration, or the writable filesystem is corrupted. It boots without mounting the writable system and you can telnet in, and if needed 'firstboot && reboot' to start fresh.
-===== Packages =====
+===== Installing packages =====
 If you need more packages, the user applications from nearly any other mipsel target should work, given that the libraries are at the same version. Replace **/etc/opkg.conf** with the following:

 If you require functionality that is not included in a basic build (i.e. IPv6 or PPPoE), then you may have to build it yourself. This is because I don't have a full package repository yet.
-====== Support ======
-There is a mailing list available at http://lists.scottn.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/adm8668 \\
-You can contact me personally by methods described [[contact|here]]. \\
-I'll try to help out where I can, but honestly the active development pretty much ended after the patch was sent off for inclusion into OpenWRT. Other users have been assisting each other as well with questions and builds. Thanks everyone! :)
 It's not too complicated.
   * Get into Linux. Install the devel essentials, svn, ...
-  * Checkout OpenWRT: **svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk**
+  * Checkout OpenWRT: **svn co <nowiki>svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk</nowiki>**
   * Configure OpenWRT: **make menuconfig**
   * You are only required to select the target. Infineon ADM8668 WildPass. The rest is up to you.
   * Issue **make** and take a nap.
-I tried building the entire thing, and it didn't workout. We really need the OpenWRT guys to include our platform in their buildbot snapshots. :(

+  * Helmut Schaa -- His work on the Ralink SoC devices with OpenWRT led him to becoming a maintainer for the rt2x00 wireless drivers. His patience with me and his tasklet patches significantly improved the wireless throughput for this device.
+  * Mayckel (a guy from Curacao) -- for being my guinea pig and putting up with my firmware breaking his routers. ;)
