Thanks Luiz,

but for now, I'd like to try and understand the building code. As said the building scripts could
use some help, so I am willing to read them and see if I can help.

how can I get them ?

svn/cvs ?

I will read https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/mips/TL-WR1043ND and begin to get to know it.

in this thread someone said I can build an image to upload to the unit, from firmware upload page.
I want to study this code. When I am in the point of flashing the image to it, I contact again.

thanks,

matheus
