Introduction

What is OpenWGT? OpenWGT is a Linux distribution designed to run on Netgear's WGT634U Wireless Media Routers. OpenWGT intents to be compatible to OpenWRT (a distribution for the Linksys WRT54G(S) broadband router).

This OpenWRT compatibility will be reached by compatibility in:

  • Init process layout
  • NVRAM layout
  • ipkg management
  • flash partition layout


Advantages

Why don't use the distributed Linux system?

  • booting needs lot of time (> 2 minutes)
  • it's hard to install own programs
  • bad fallback strategy (if modifications fail)
