Hello,
I just stumbled upon 8devices and I must agree this projects sounds very promising.
As for you question: Ralink is one of a few hardware manufacturers that is somehow concerned about the community of open source developers and from time to time puts driver code under the GPL and/or releases the firmware. They even do some patching of the official kernel sources
http://www.pro-linux.de/news/1/16692/ra ... eiber.htmlSee:
http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support ... php?sn=501Openwrt seem's to have a good support for RT3050 chips including USB:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start But if there are any known limitations, I'd also like to know from the developers.
So the whole package of carambola and openwrt seem's like a good thing to go for low-cost embedded wireless development. I'm just a bit curious if the openwrt packages ramips packages do all work for carambola? If yes what is the
https://github.com/8devices/packages rep for? Are there many customizations necessary for carambola?
Keep up the great work and thank you for your help!
Cheers,
Mochtu
