OpenWrt Kamikaze 8.09.2 on a WGT634U

Hello again! Sorry for the delay between updates. Now I'm back, though.

I have a Netgear WGT634U router, which until now has been running OpenWrt Kamikaze 7.x. Now I've taken steps to upgrade to Kamikaze 8.09.2, now that the NVRAM corruption bug in 8.09.1 has been fixed. The difference was astounding! I was a little shocked at first, since SSH wouldn't connect to it, so I instead pointed my browser at the router's port 80 and was greeted by the excellent LuCI interface, as shown above. Unlike the previous version of Kamikaze that I used, setting upp WPA2-PSK was a breeze, and setting up stuff like interfaces, mountpoints, DDNS and port forwarding (the latter two are available as LuCI modules). You also get NFS/FTP/Samba support for connected USB drives, so you are free to use any Linux supported file system unlike with the original firmware, which (obviously) would only permit FAT32 and NTFS "filesystems".

As soon as I set my root password, the dropbear SSH daemon started and permitted the router to be configured through SSH as usual.

I also should mention that my T-mobile G1 (and Nintendo DS) doesn't cause the router to reboot when connecting like with the previous Kamikaze release, so I'm finally completely satisfied with the stability. Since I set it up three days ago, it has forwarded every packet without any hiccups, something that even the original firmware failed to do.

Kudos to the OpenWrt team for this excellent release! My expectations for the next release are sky high. I would recommend any free software junkie out there with a compatible router to install/upgrade to this magnificent release and forget all your networking worries.
