This site will be used to describe my attempts to modify the firmware on a couple of wireless routers that are based on the BCM6348 chip from Broadcom which has a MIPS core and runs on an operating system called Linux. Both these routers are using various pieces of Open Source Software along with some proprietary software.
There are a few other sites around with information regarding modifying these types of routers, as well as some sites that are devoted to a sister chip, a BCM6345, also from Broadcom. These routers also use Linux, in most instances the same version, and a majority of the tricks work on all the routers. The sites I have visited are as follows:
Broadcom 6345 Linux Distribution
TinyGT minimal DG834GT distribution ** This Site is No Longer Available **
