its teh suck.

WTF is the point of a linux system if it doesnt support simple shit like ftp/lynx/wget

I got one of the Tmobile-branded Linksys WRT routers that has more memory than the regular WRT routers so I could run the "expanded' ddwrt image and Im less than impressed.

I thought it was going to rock, it even had the mod for a SD memory card.

its teh suck.

I'm running the micro image...

For the cost...nothing..it takes a sucky $50 access point and expands the feature set greatly...even moreso than I find on many commercial grade access points.

Makes a handy little wireless repeater too...

It still isn't as good as REAL networking equipment, but for the average / advanced home user it works really well.

I work extensively with Cisco unified wireless and it is pretty sweet....

But when it comes to my home, I'm on a budget


Wish someone would come out with an open source CAPWAP....that would be neat.

Turn a cheap Linux box into a CAPWAP server and use those $50 grocery store AP's as lightweight access points...

I've been using it for years, and it's pretty good stuff.  It fell short of my needs when trying to administer a network with 10+ users, but that's an equipment limitation and was handily resolved with a commercial Cisco WAP.  I've been using it for a few years (and a few deployments) in client bridge mode, I have some 7db antennae that help out with the range too.
