Oooh, one more thing. What is the exact firmware to install for this Atheros on the F5D8230-4? Links help.
You should use dd-wrt.v24_atheros_wifi.bin, but you still have to wait a few more time, because BrainSlayer change it to work this router, but the version on the Download page is not the newer one...
I have it, but I don't know if I can share it...
Got my card in the mail today from Hong Kong. I'm ready to install but need the right FW version.
Everything worked great for about a week, nowrouter seems to have died. No wifi signal, can't connect over ethernet. Responded to tftp and re uploading the firmware but still can't make contact with it

This one doesn't works with the AR5416 card. It just hangs. The 9120 crippled one works tho...wish that one was updated
I decided to pull the Bekin out of the drawer and play with it again. D/L the atheros v24 sp1 v10011 and flashed it. So far I'm loving my new router! completely stable at 300Mhz and really fast. Only things that I have found problematic are that when I enable Turbo Mode it puts the router into a continuous rebooting loop.. have to hard reset it to fix that.. may be something specific with my atheros card? Also, will the N/40Mhz channel ever be introduced?
in fact I was able to trim the firmware a little bit using the extract/build firmware instructions ( http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Development#Instructions ). I believe I removed a couple executables in the /usr/bin directory (chilisoft and sputnik) and this allowed the router to accept the firmware.
I had to use the extract/build binaries from this location in order to build a valid firmware:
