WRT54GS

Installing OpenWRT

• Grab this Perl script
• Find the section that reads:

"ping_times"    => "1",
"ping_ip"       => "`$command >/tmp/ping.log 2>&1`",

• Change this to:

"ping_times"    => "`$command >/tmp/ping.log 2>&1`",
"ping_ip"       => "127.0.0.1",

• Connect the port #1 on the WRT54GS directly to your iMac's Ethernet port.
• Run the Perl script:

./wrt54gcli.pl

• You're now talking to the WRT54GS using a simulated terminal. Execute the following commands to set the boot_wait NVRAM setting to "on":

/usr/sbin/nvram set boot_wait=on
/usr/sbin/nvram get boot_wait  # Should display 'on'
/usr/sbin/nvram commit
