Hi! After some reminding from gjb@, I went and re-investigated why the TL-WR1043nd v1 was running out of flash space. It turns out OpenWRT moved to using a new way of building images using mktplinkfw - instead of providing the board name, it just provides the board id and layout id. Then, it's not restricted to a specific kernel size or whatnot. So, the kernel (which is gzip'ed) can be bigger than 1MiB - the kernel+rootfs just has to be smaller than the total available flash. I've tested this on the TL-WR1043nd v1 and it's now running -HEAD as of a few minutes ago. So in case you're still trying to shoehorn FreeBSD onto it - it's great. :) -adrian
