The active firmware developers are few in number and they have requests that would easily take decades to complete. So we have to focus on what we feel will be of the most help to the most users of the firmware developed. There are very few routers from any vendor that have not been considered for firmware support. We started out with Open-Wrt firmware as our base. Much of what we do is guided by what Open-Wrt supports. The Open-WRT tools is where the list of generated firmware we post comes from. This was an Open-WRT decision to group routers based on similar chip sets. To use some of the compiled firmware posted, you may have to take additionl steps to get the firmware to load in other than the supported routers. We simply do not have the resources to port the fw to all the routers that people might find at yard sale or in the trash. We would welcome more firmware developers that would work with us to support more routers. Anyone that takes on that task must realze that they will get a lot of "quick questions" that are not quick to answer. So yes, we have thought about porting HSMM-MESH(tm) fw to just about any wireless router made. There are millions of usable Linksys WRT54G routers in the world. They are not hard to find. So we focused on this popular, easy to find, super versitile hardware platform. When we get the fw ported to a new hw platform and stable. We will post the news on the home page of this web site.
