Re: [wireless] WAP54G Firmware with Power Hack (1. Its great that one someone else is working on some firmware for the WAP54G! Awesome job!
But I can hear the chants now.... where's the source!? how do we know there isn't malicious code? aren't you violating the GPL by not releasing the source with the binary? -- Also find me at: Techware Labs Forums & Sveasoft Forums |

 3 edits | I can give you the source but there are a few issues: 1) The entire source is 40+ megs gziped (have nowhere to post) 2) I can provide only the files I've modified (or diffs) instead - the rest you'll have to get from linksys, including patching, finding proper mkcramfs util, etc 3) If you can't do 2) on your own you won't be able to figure out if the code is malicious or not.
I've posted sources of the files I've changed in the attached. |

I know of the issues. I'm just warning you because of all the allegations that Sveasoft's and Wifi box's firmware projects went through. I don't think you want the same happening to you. -- Also find me at: Techware Labs Forums & Sveasoft Forums |

 | reply to mustdie6 Hi mustdie, I have may be a stupid question, but I'm relative new to coding... How can i just modify the html pages that the WAP GUI shows? let's say, to translate all the GUI to german..... I downloaded the GPL and all I see is .c and .h files....or is in the .trx file???
thx |
