OpenWrt is alternatieve opensourcefirmware voor een groot aantal verschillende routers en embedded devices. Door middel van het opkg-package management system is er de mogelijkheid om zelf te bepalen wat de router allemaal wel en niet kan. Ook op GoT zijn enkele mensen hier actief mee bezig, bijvoorbeeld voor de TP-Link TL-WR1043ND. Op dit moment wordt gewerkt aan de ontwikkeling van versie 12.09, die als doopnaam Attitude Adjustment meegekregen heeft. Deze bètarelease wordt met de volgende release notes geleverd:
Attitude Adjustment (12.09-beta)
The OpenWrt Team is happy to announce the beta release of Attitude Adjustment (12.09). This release is sligthly overdue, but it is now ready for testing.
These are the beta binaries. We will not be merging anything new into trunk until we think that the binaries have had enough test coverage and potential bugs have been fixed. Once that stage is reached, we will branch and generate the final release binaries. We expect this process to take between 2-4 weeks.
EOL Notice for brcm-2.4:
Kernel 2.4 support has been dropped from Attitude Adjustment. For most devices using brcm47xx images is fine, but older models with only 16 MiB RAM or slower CPUs (200 Mhz) will not run properly with it. So for those devices, sticking with backfire is recommended.
Target specific improvements:General improvements:
- [ar71xx]:
- Support for more ar71xx devices
- [ramips]:
- Support for Ralink devices
- [bcm47xx]:
- Better support and image for Broadcom BCM4705 SOCs
- Support for serial flash in brcm47xx
- Fix out of memory when using wifi on BCM5354
- [lantiq]:
- Almost complete Lantiq SoC support
- New Asterisk channel driver for Lantiq TAPI
- [x86]:
- Sysupgrade support
Known issues that will get fixed during the beta phase:
- Improved LuCI interface
- Switch to the netifd infrastructure for better network configuration support
- Fixed Imagebuilder, relocatable SDK
- Full (?) eglibc support
- Release support for bridge firewalling
- Vastly improved ath9k driver stability and performance
- Dependency fixes for packages
- More iptables addons, improved netfilter performance
- Experimental support for 5 and 10MHz channels in ath5k and ath9k
- Support for 6RD configuration
- Experimental crashlog feature to track kernel oopses
- Reduced space requirements and improved squashfs/kernel compression
- Various package improvements and updates
- the new ramips switch driver seems to cause problems on some boards
- somehow vr9 images are not properly generated
- 11b/g atheros units might have gpio problems due to the new gpiolib driver
