Tony, I am lazy, when I want to light up a device, I want to go to a
place where the relevant info is collected. Nothing against newsgroups,
but from experience, it's a crap shoot trying to find the desired
information with just one search.
But having said that, I did surf the groups for hours looking for
the varied WRT flashes and gotchas.
I will be going back and reviewing your posts. Unfortunately, a LOT
of the Buffalo WHR-G54S posts go like this: "I bought a WHR-G54S,
flashed it with DD-WRT and it's great". The WIKI stuff is good, but it
missed some of the finer points that I asked about (where is TFTP, which
BIN)
Not saying that the WHR-G54S isn't a good thing, but let's be a
little more precise. As I am trampled by the Buffalo Stampede, I will be
adding to my collection of factoids. It may be common knowledge, but
where is that common knowledge derived from?
To show that I do know how to tread the boards, you can look up the
"Ardent Tool of Capitalism" and find out more than you'd care to about
microchannel. The Gilanet site is the one I update, others are mirrors.
