Some time ago, I wrote a guide for compiling OpenWRT firmware for the la Fonera router. I began to really like OpenWRT and decided that I may want to put it on some other devices I have around, namely a Linksys WAP54G and WRT54G. I could have modified my development suite, however, I figured that it is better to let someone else do the work this time. Freifunk has done just that and has posted modified OpenWRT images that will even fit on the limited WAP54G. I have one of the TRX files loaded on my version 2.0 WAP54G and running without problems. The only slight hickup was that the Linksys firmware did not want to “downgrade”, so I pointed the a browser to http://router_ip/fw-conf.asp and disabled both check there and then simply uploaded the new TRX file using the updater. When everything was done, the router was back up on the same IP and was accepting ssh connections with username “root” and password “admin”. [I previously posted the password was "password", that is incorrect, sorry for the error.]
