Atheros AP81

[THG]

A week ago I bought myself an Netgear WNR1000 (v1) router, and I found out that it's running OpenWrt (Kamikaze). According to Federal Communications Commission, this router features the following hardware:

Atheros AR9102 radio chip
400 MHz AR9130 CPU
AR8216 Fast Ethernet Switch
4 MB of Flash and 32 MB RAM.

Before I flash my router, I would like to know which firmware (stable or experimental). I guess that it is the combined firmware I need.

From the shell prompt, I can se that the firmware boot via Universal Boot Loader (U-Boot).

console=ttyS0,115200 root=31:02 init=/sbin/init mtdparts=ar7100-nor0:256k(u-boot),64k(u-boot-env),2304k(rootfs),64k(user-config),1152k(uImage),128k(language_table),64k(rootfs_checksum),64k(ART) mem=32M

I guess that there is no compiled images for the newer Atheros platforms, is that correct?

However, it looks like this platform is working in Kamikaze trunk 2009-01-15.

If you're willing to recompile yourself, there's an ar71xx target in the Gargoyle SVN that should support this device. It's still exerimental though (I haven't found enough time to test it thouroughly).

Thanks for your response, I was not really sure about the target. The followin URL does not even exist on OpenWrt's homepage. I found this string in /etc/ipkg.conf
