Today I got home a new wifi router which, like the f*nera, is free of charge.
http://www.wippies.com/ Wippies is big in Finland.

Got some details:
Bewan Wi-Fi APG61
Atheros AR2317 Single-Chip 2.4 GHz Access Point Solution (AR5007AP-G) http://www.atheros.com/pt/AR5007AP-G.htm
Integrated switch (4 ports) IP175C http://www.icplus.com.tw/pp-IP175C.html

Is there a possible way to use dd-wrt on it? Any hints on how to figure out how to enable ssh?
Somebody else uses Wippies?

Hi I got one of these myself and is a bit interested in the possibilty to get wrt working on it Smile
However i got one question.
Because wippies require you to have the box online for one year before you're "free" to do what you want with it I was thinking.
Lets say i get the box properly upgraded with wrt, what would then happen if I used the hardware resetbutton? Is the stock firmware hopefully installed?

Well well, some more specs I've found out:

8Mb Flash memory ( M25P64 )
http://www.st.com/stonline/products/literature/ds/10987/m25p64.pdf

256Mb SDRAM ( IS42S16160B )
http://biznet.issi.com/ISSIMigration/PSearch/ViewPSearchPDF.aspx?DocName=42S83200B-16160B.pdf

A pic and some serial data I've found. http://wiki.openwrt.org/usr5463
It's not the same manufacturer though the board layout is exactly the same, and the numbers on the board (141400520017J, REV:01) is the same.
And as it comes with a costum wippies FW i guess its a big difference...

Ooops, ... this is only for Estonia, Finland, and Sweden countries. If they go global to US, I wouldn't mind to let them use my broadband for one year.

How would that work? Smile Wippies has some kind've contract that if one cannot provide a heartbeat for at least a year (according to contract) one is said to having broken the contract rules and has to pay for the router in question, would one send it over post then? And how high are the probabilities of him being able to work something out? Smile

Suppose it's no problem to port dd-wrt to this device, what would the lack of redboot mean to the end user?

should be no problem for porting. maybe getting into for the first time might be tricky since its no standard bootloader.

for the redboot i'm able to create a redboot for this device if really neccessary. but right now i'm trying to keep it always original to make it possible to flash it back if required.

ah and as information the unit has 32 mb ram, not 256. never swap bit and byte

one interesting point about this device. its based on linux, but i cannot find any gpl sources for it nor any information about the usage of gpl sources.

its not required for me, but might make it easier to find out the wippies firmware format for flashing

Actually there is, but rather hidden on the help section, and apparently finnish pages only... Direct link to page: http://www.wippies.fi/gpl.phtml

There are 2 diffirent sources, but there are nowadays at least 2 diffirent wippies box too... I think the wifibox is what folks have been talked about, but you might want to look for yourself too if both would be compatible...

P.S. I do not own wippies myself Smile
