I think that's the question... is OBSD compiled for the various common linksys/netgear/etc. hardware architectures?
I believe the answer is no. If I'm misunderstanding this completely please correct... But it would be great if it did... wish I had the skills to do it. danno -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nick !

OpenBSD is used for embedded systems all the time. The most common platform is called the Soekris. You can get them from Wim: http://www.kd85.com/ Many consumer routers these days run linux, but they have special proprietary firmware-handling. Some have been figured out (e.g. that Netgear WGRT-something) and people regularly hack on them. What do you know about your router? If it has a firmware upgrade page you might be able to create an OpenBSD image and load it. On the other hand, it might not work like that at all and doing so could equally (actually, more) likely brick the box. -Nick
