Hello everybody,

Could anyone help me for quick start? I have ASUS WL-330gE with DD-WRT on board but it works not stable enough and I'd like to try OpenWrt. I have already found out that it uses chipset BCM5354 so it requires brcm47xx driver. Okay, I go to http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1/brcm47xx/ but what next? There are a lot of files there, what do I have to use first? Do I need to use image builder, toolchain or sdk? Or may be I can just use one of those images:

Hi fyi,

Thanks for the quick answer! I have found this page before but considered deprecated.
1. Could you tell me if I need to patch the current version of firmware or I can just download and flash?
2. Can I install packages after flashing or I need rebuild flash in some way to install packages?
