Discussion
Just started looking at this device. It's interesting for a number of reasons:
- Has MINI-PCI using an open source driver
- Has USB interface
12/12/05 - Apparently this product has just been made obsolete by netgear. So get one now if you want one.
Firmware hacking
Kernel starts at 0x00000000 and a JFFS2 Filesystem at 0x00140000JFFS2 starts with magic 0x1895
extract the filesystem:
dd if=wgt634u_1_4_1_9.img bs=1 > rootfs.jffs2
mount it:
To mount a jffs2 filesystem you need to use the mtdram device. You may also need to creat the device to mount ( mknod /dev/mtdblock0 b 31 0 )
modprobe mtdcore modprobe mtdpart modprobe mtdram totalsize=32768 erasesize=256 modprobe jffs2 dd if=rootfs2 of=/dev/mtdblock0 mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 ./mnt
Inside is a bunch of lrp packages. On boot the device creates a ramfs then unpacks the .lrp packages into it. A .lrp is a simple package inside a tar.gz archive.
