I've just purchased one and it arrived today and I installed DD-WRT and then upgraded to OpenWRT. It's working well but obviously I've only just started working with it. > > Paul Hartman <paul.hartman+gen...@gmail.com> writes: > > [...] > > > I have WZR-HP-G300NH (running DD-WRT), if you don't plan on using wifi > > it would be great.

OpenWRT is running the BusyBox syslogd by default. I doubt it would take much to build a syslog-ng (or whatever other logger you prefer) if there isn't already a package for it. Oh, I see that there already are syslog-ng (1.6.12-2) and syslog-ng3 (3.0.5-1) packages You have iptables support so you can do pretty much anything you like with regards to logging.
