Does the new kamikaze support this device at v1?
I would like to have openwrt running on my v1.0 but i also want my n standard to work on it, being on of the main reason why i bought it.

I've compiled karmic 8.09.1 with the patch for diag and enabled 8bits bus but unfortunately wifi doesn't work anymore.. any idea?
I've noticed that If you pick the wrong wireless driver it will not work.
Check dmesg on the router and see what it says about the wireless.
Then try changing the wireless kernel module in the build configuration menus.
I dont remember exactly which one it needs.

RobertD, did you find something about tftp?
Belkin also has some problems with tftp. It just broadcasts question "who has server ip" but it never read any answers what was sent back to it. Same thing in all ports.

had the same problem, because I was never getting it the first time right after plugging in to the power source. I was usually doing a "reboot" then hit "1" key so it was always after a manual reboot, not right after router was plugged in.
So what I did was, madly hit key 1 before and meanwhile I was plugging the router's power cord and hence I got the first uboot screen and apparently it worked

T TConclusion, must hit "1" right when the router is plugged in to the power source, the first uboot must be caught 
Peace!

Hello. I'm posting to this thread because it seems to be the largest one dealing with the 160n.
We've been developing programs for use with OpenWRT. We've been using the 54GL, but recently we got a 160Nv3. I'd like to help getting this router supported. I can code, write docs, and test, and I work with people who do the electrical work.
I just wanted to say that I hope everyone has seen this:
I have a WRT160nV3 with working serial console. Let me tell you, I have had more fun than soldering CAT5 solid core to the undrilled test points for serial console!
I have a copy of the Linksys stock dmesg, and I have been trying to flash it with a couple of different open source firmwares. Only DD-WRT has worked.
I am creating a WRT160nv3 thread with the Linksys dmesg, so we can avoid cluttering this one.
I will detail what I have found so far therein.
Thx

I just wanted to note here that trunk snapshots seem to have WRT160Nv3 support now:

Hello. For anybody tired of having to solder&unsolder the serial port: a couple years ago I figured out why the flash wasn't working (the flash command -mem parameter wasn't detected correctly) and made a little guide to help patching the CFE. Along with that fix I added two other small tweaks: boot_wait always on and -noheader instead of -ctheader so you can recover directly with OPENWRT images without reflashing original firmwares. With those fixes the WRT160n becomes one of the most easily recoverable routers, you only have to turn it on with the reset button pressed and send the image with TFTP.
I've already patched two WRT160N v1.1 without issues however use it at your own risk since flashing the CFE is always a risky process. I posted the guide here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=729764 . It would be amazing if somebody could also add it to the wiki page.
