Hey.. thanks so much for replying..
Well, so basically I have created a custom build of OpenWRT with quite a lot of changes which I normally deploy in physical hardware for the customers.
Now, there are some customers who need to perform certain routing and firewalling functions for the VMs they have hosted in the cloud.
Now I dont want to reinvent everything that has been already done. Hence the reason.
I understood your idea of converting into ESXI compatible format. Will surely try it out.
However, as per this thread ,
and the short instructions that the user has given, he has not done these steps and still managed to get it running which is kind of strange.
