Project Release Information

2006-12-31 22:03
This release changes the install directory used when loading executables on the box. This change should make the distribution work on boxes where "/var" is read-only. The release works on a version 1 WRT54G box running firmware version 4.00.7. It has also been reported to work on other WRT54G variations, such the GS version of the box. It does not work with WRT54G firmware 4.30.5, nor will it work with version 5 WRT54G boxes.
2005-07-16 23:32
This version has been verified to install on the
currently latest Linksys firmware, 4.00.7. Several
cleanups have been made in scripts, wrt54g.sh,
wrt54g_put.sh, and remote.sh. Some additional
logic has been added for installing under Cygwin.
2004-06-28 19:45
This release adds a FAQ to address most common installation problems.
2004-06-01 18:44
This release adds two user-contributed pcakages: dropbear, a small SSH daemon, and iptraf, an IP traffic monitoring utility. Neither package is installed by default. To install either, add their files to the "distro.tar" file and modify the wrt54g.sh script to set them up on each install. Additional iptables commands have been added to the startup script to account for PPPOE. There are small cleanups.
2004-04-14 10:06
This release adds instructions for installing the distribution
from a Windows box.

Project Description

wrt54g-linux is a mini-distribution for the
Linksys wrt54g 802.11b/g access point and router.
It includes basic tools such as sh, syslog,
telnetd, httpd (with cgi-bin support), vi, snort,
mount, insmod, rmmod, top, grep, find, nfs
modules, etc. The installation script runs in
about 20 seconds and installs strictly to the RAM
disk. If you mess anything up, simply reset the
box. After installing the distribution you'll be
able to telnet in, add Web pages, change iptable
rules, change routing, configure snort, etc.
