Sentry5 support is outdated for a while. I have WRT54G myself, though haven't hacked it yet :) > > Is there any other information that I need to start developing for MIPS? Major part of mips sources has not been merged in main tree yet, but merging process is progressing and soon we'll have mips support out of CVS. Meanwhile all sources are in P4 tree. If you'd like to start right away - I can provide snapshot of repo for you. -- gonzo
