Ruckus Zoneflex 7982 indoor AP, 7762/7782 outdoor AP support request

For Developers

Hello,

I found that OpenWRT support Ruckus Zoneflex 7372 AP.

I have Zoneflex 7982, 7762/7782 AP on hand.

Any chance support these AP's for near future?

Regards,

You are the one with the device, so:

  • check the hardware components, e.g. via an FCC ID search
  • if the hardware components are supportable, port OpenWrt to it
  • create a PR and have the device officially supported

EDIT: I did some of the homework for you.

ZF7982: According to this it is Atheros-based and has sufficient amount of RAM and Flash - so this is probably supportable.

I couldn't find the other two, but the ZF7762-S exists which seems to be equally supportable (AR7161-based, 16M Flash, no mention of RAM).

…and keep in mind that early ath79 SOCs with 802.11n radios might not find that much enthusiasm from others.
