-A router that was end-of-lifed by Netgear on October 1, 2005, it remains a useful and versatile device. It includes the typical 4+1 ethernet ports, plus a USB host port (you might have to install package kmod-usb2 to get certain USB hardware working) and a mini-PCI slot holding an Atheros b/g radio (though it might happen that the necessary wifi kernel modules are not included in the firmware-image, which means you have to install either the package kmod-madwifi or (the more recent) kmod-ath5k, while it's safe to remove the unneeded packages kmod-b43 and kmod-b43legacy; [[https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/8722]]). It was designed with the idea that you could host data on an attached USB drive and access it from your wireless devices.

-Trunk introduced a legacy target ( https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/41041 ) for old brcm47xx units like this one. As of 15.05.1 this works with the brcm47xx legacy build with kmod-ath5k added and with the fix described below in section "Recovering from Board Information Overwrites".+Trunk introduced a legacy target ( https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/41041 ) for old brcm47xx units like this one.
