Linksys WRT150N

An account of flashing OpenWrt to a WRT150N

After a short while, nmap -F 192.168.1.1 showed:

PORT   STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open  ssh
23/tcp open  telnet
53/tcp open  domain
80/tcp open  http

image conversion

route add default gw 192.168.1.2  # assuming .2 is your laptop
vi /etc/resolv.conf  # to tell OpenWrt where the DNS recursor is
opkg update
opkg install kmod-brcm-wl-mimo
reboot

Why you should use brcm-2.4

The brcm47xx flavour of 10.03.1 will yield:

b43-phy0: Broadcom 4321 WLAN found (core revision 11)
b43-phy0 ERROR: FOUND UNSUPPORTED PHY (Analog 5, Type 4, Revision 1)
b43: probe of ssb1:0 failed with error -122

..in the kernel log and no wireless interface.
