Hi Stephen,

I know 2.6 doesn't support yet the broadcom driver :(... I completely
bricked (and yes, I tried everything but the JTAG method) my router with
flashing an SVN image of the 2.6 kernel :).

When I flash the original firmware or dd-wrt, it has wireless... But not
with the latest SVN version of OpenWRT?

When I do "ifup wl0" it says the interface is unknown, and when I run
something like iwconfig (I can't remember exactly anymore, but it's the
program started by /etc/init.d/network to check for wireless) it says "wl0
is disabled"?


Thanks if you could make some sense for me :)
