 +===== Edimax NS-1500N =====
  
 +Tested with a modified fonera 2.0n openwrt firmware image. 
 +
 +Usb, wifi, lan, all seem to work.
 +
 +
 +It uses the Ralink RT3050 SoC, wifi drivers are binary and only work with 2.6.21 kernel, so don't expect latest trunk to be stable for while yet.
 +
 +==== Hardware Highlights ====
 +^ CPU ^ Ram ^ Flash ^ Network ^ USB ^ Serial ^ JTAG ^
 +| RT3050F | 32MB | 8MB | 1 | Yes | Yes | No |
 +
 +===== Installation =====
 +
 +This is more of an FYI than a guide as its very ghetto and could potential brick your device YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
 +
 +I recommend backing up your firmware if you do attempt flashing as there are no recovery images available. 
 +
 +
 +I've only tested installing firmware via serial.
 +
 +Pressing 2 while Uboot starts lets you flash an image via tftp.
 +
 +I used the fonera 2.0n build system to produce a fon/openwrt firware. 
 +
 +The only requirements to get it to boot is editing the kernel config for 32mb RAM and the RT3050.
 +

 +====== Serial Port JP2 ======
 +
 +^ Pin 1    | +3.3 V          | 
 +^ Pin 2    | RX              |
 +^ Pin 3    | GND             
 +^ Pin 4    | TX              | 
 +
 +
 +Used a Nokia CA-42 datacable to connect, but had to add a 1K resistor between RX and 3.3V.
 +Default speed 57600,8N1
