Hey /tech/, let me preface this by saying I don't know much about networking or using linux... so treat me like a noob if you must, because I'm completely out of my element here. I just bought a router, a NETGEAR WNR2000 v3, and I want to install a custom firmware on it.
Some specs:
'Atheros chip: AR7240
OS: OpenWRT Kamikaze 7.09
Kernel: 2.6.15
Wifi Driver: Madwifi
Firmware size: 3MB
Shell: /bin/ash is enabled on ttys0, tts/0, and tty1'
Now it's running a Netgear made version of OpenWRT already, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to install it right? Also, the v2 and v1 of this model were supported by DD-WRT. ...What would be my best course of action for attempting to install either? Should I maybe look for a different firmware like Tomato? I know literally nothing about this, throw me a bone /tech/.
...If I could build an .img to upload to it I could probably just tell it to update right? I mean it is already running OpenWRT. I don't know how to do that though.
