Hi,
I just finished installing inside a ver 2 wrt54g a sd card and I am trying to undrestand what I have to do next in order to operate the extra storage.
Do I have to recompile the kernel for dos and vfat using vmware and ubuntu or there is an quicker way?
Can I work with a precompiled module or I also have to build this?

Thanks a lot.

Depending on your distro (Kamikaze vs. WhiteRussian) the module files are called:

Filesystem kmods are:

WR:
kmod-vfat
kmod-ext2
kmod-ext3
....

Kamikaze:
kmod-fs-vfat
kmod-fs-ext2
kmod-fs-ext3
....

For MMC driver search the forums, there is plenty of posts regarding this.

Thanks, I 've managed to format it as ext2 and it works fine. Now I will try to follow the other howtos for installing packages on it.
Is there a difference if I use ext2 instead of vfat?

ext2 is way faster with openwrt than vfat.

The discussion might have continued from here.
