Mitsubishi Diamond R100 with OpenWRT

Though I have not actively partaken in melb wireless I have remained on their mail list for the occasional interesting nerd discussion - from there I heard of a cheap deal wireless routers capable of running OpenWRT, so I snarfed one.

Installing the Asus wl500g version of OpenWRT White Russian RC6 via tftp I was able to get this excellent little distro up an running quickly, even booting with root on a USB key.. running it in bridged client mode so I can plug PCs in down the other end of the house, but fun having a well put together old school minimal Linux distro to play with as well.

Lets see how long I last with swap running on a USB memory stick..

Here is the output of dmesg, for the curious:
