Hacks for the Linksys WRT54G wireless router
Portless Networks
The other day I put this hacked firmware on a spare router. It was fun to look at the additional capabilities that are offered (such as SSH) but what I would really like to do is be able to modify one of these and put a very light weight streaming server on it. Unfortunately, you need a solid Linux box setup (I have to get to work on that one) to build a new firmware image.
Oh yeah, what is MORE interesting (to me at least) is that Linksys has made available the firmware for their wireless cameras as well (also Linux based). Looking through the firmware image for the WVC11B I was able to confirm my suspicion that in fact they do not offer a true MPEG-4 solution, rather it appears as though they *may* be using an MPEG-4 codec but wrapping it in an ASF file (hence the reason you need the stoooopid active x control to view the stream).
In any case, it is one of my missions to hack a true MPEG-4 solution onto one of these. How cool would that be!

I made some changes to the source and am trying to turn the kernel and the os into a .bin file I think I have to use dd to do this, but I have no idea how. The last line of the readme says:
"Combine Loader, Linux_Kernel and File_System into one binary file."
nothing else
Help!!!
