firstly, i want to address the spurious allegation that my build of DD-WRT is somehow in violation of the GPL. i am posting this blurb in advance as it seems he feels threatened.
- i am using publicly available code with little to no changes to the source. i cloned the SVN and made changes to the build settings. there is very little 'code added' by me. the big difference is my build uses GLIBC and i guess this motivated brainslayer to harass forum leaders to take down my stuff
- if i really did violate the GPL, then why was i posting on the DD-WRT forum for over 3 years?

- using unmodified GNU programs (coreutils, bash, bison, sed, gawk, findutils, etc) with GLIBC in the dd-wrt source tree does not violate GPL. simply add the folders to src/router, edit the make rules (rules/all.mk rules/generic.mk rules/configs.mk) to include their own build file (rules/.mk) and you can build DD-WRT too.
- the wireless driver is available at https://github.com/hanwckf/rt-n56u/tree/master/trunk/proprietary/rt_wifi/rtpci/5.0.4.0
in short, there is NO GPL VIOLATION, NOR SHOULD ANY USER OF THIS FIRMWARE EXPECT SUPPORT FROM DD-WRT MAINTAINERS. I THOUGHT THIS WAS CLEAR, BUT I AM BEING EXPLICIT.
