I have a few RB493G boards that will not boot OpenWrt due to the bad blocks problem. Might your work work with them? The amount of spares I have allows me to offer one to someone who might have hope of modifying OpenWrt so that they boot again. I would be willing to split shipping and charge no more than that (I am in the USA). Of course, I would also be interested in hearing if Danijel's YAFFS2 solution is acceptable to the OpenWrt folks. These boards are still decent hardware. -- Mike :wq _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
