Topic: openwrt on Linksys BEFSR41

The content of this topic has been archived on 5 May 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Has anyone tried openwrt on an older BEFSR41 router? It's not list in the Table of Hardware.

Thanks,

No replys, not even to let em know its not possable.... hmm

Reply, nope: Tried adding this to the BEFSR41 v3 and i get an error via tftp(dos), tftp(win) reports an error with the ROM. and HTTP reports "Warning ! Upgrade file pattern error."

So i assume, its extremly impossable.

n00b here, 1st post... stumbled here trying to learn more about the hardware at my access...

I learned a little about the befsr41. Mine must be a v1 ... no version info anywhere. Same opening as other linksys. I provide the info below in case someone who is more familiar with supported hardware sees the specs.

Here's a listing of the ICs:

I know I've seen the befsr41 mentioned with early linksys hacking doc's. Doesn't one of the NAS boxes use ARM ?? Anyhow, I was hoping to use it, but I have a couple other wireless routers with much more flash and ram to work with, so they will be the focus of my attentions. imho, the issue with the 41 is that it has no storage. I have pics if anyone cares.
