Recently change from dd-wrt to openwrt. I want to take full control of ipkg package installed in my router. Not suitble for linux newbie, but still can try because RC5 have a webif which a simple web based configuration but not as detail as dd-wrt.

Most of the configuration done by commandline using ssh (get putty for windows user). editor available from fresh installation is only vim, becareful use ":q!" to discard all the changes.

Streamyx user choose bin(pppoe support) firmware and for safety use squashfs, it have readonly partition in case something happen to your jffs2 partion.

Interesting package:-
nas - wireless wpa/wpa2(must have)
ntplicent - ntp time update
ez-ipupdate - for ddns update
screen - GNU screen for multiple process even after exit ssh (eg run torrent)
ctorrent - torrent client
Search at ipkg.be for available packae

Using almost two weeks now very happy with it , will try do QoS and adding sd card for additional space.

If you have lanserver/landisk NAS you can do 24/7 torrent without using pc .

Got my streamyx for 2 weeks now and using artnet rta230 modem->hub->PCs & xbox. Just to share that the modem is using old firmware and the firmware at artnet.com.my is also old one (2.14. something). Please use the new firmware from dynalink.com.au (2.18.something). Dynalink/artnet rta230 is the same hardware.
