OpenWrt is een op Linux gebaseerde firmware die zijn werk kan doen op verschillende routers. Zo kan bijvoorbeeld een Linksys WRT54G of een Asus WL-500g helemaal naar eigen wens ingericht worden. Voor een volledig overzicht met ondersteunde hardware verwijzen we jullie door naar deze pagina en meer documentatie is op deze pagina te vinden. De ontwikkelaars hebben alweer even geleden versie 8.09 uitgebracht die onder de Kamikaze-serie valt. De bijbehorende aankondiging ziet er als volgt uit:
Kamikaze 8.09
