background is I used to have a wrt54g, and loved it with openwrt, I want to get another, but want to hack usb on to it. I looked for HOURS online to find any info, nearly everywhere said it can't be done, but I found 2 things that say you can.

found clue that usb is supported but not implemented.

shows someone that has done it! (added usb to wrt54g).

I would like to know which versions of the wrt54g I could try this on, and where to connect to? I think version 2, and am hasy about exact way to do it, but may just try myself!

any ideas? interesting though! brings a whole new life to the best (imo) router for openwrt.

one step ahead of me, I was just reading that!

seems to be very hard to follow, I guess people are still discovering it!

I would like to know, can I get usb2? as there seems to be people saying 1.1 and people saying 2.0, also, which wrt54g versions does it apply to?

very exciting!

The discussion might have continued from here.
