I imagine that it is a bit early to ask this, but when will the Fonera 2n recieve dd-wrt support?
The 2n was announced today. It includes an 802.11n radio, a USB port, and support for downloading/uploading from bittorrent, Rapidshare, and a number of other services directly to an attached USB hard drive, no PC necessary.
I assume that sooner or later dd-wrt will be ported to the Fonera 2, but would the extra features be supported? It would be really cool to have the USB NAS and downloading features, without the need to deal with the fon service. I believe that these features are already theoretically possible for someone with enough scripting knowledge, but will there ever be an easy to use web interface for setting up/accessing the NAS, and a built in bittorrent client?
Looks like the 2.0n uses a Ralink chipset. Is this a functional copy of an Atheros chipset, or should this conversation be taking place in another sub-forum?
I remember reading BS himself saying there won't be any Ralink support, and no it is not a functional copy of Atheros. _________________ WRT54GL 1.1 v24 preSP2 r14896 | RNX-GX4 v24 preSP2 r14929 | 2x AR430W v24 (both bricked ATM) | 2x F*n2100 Legend Pre4.5U & v24 preSP2 r13525
WTF??? What a bad decision to replace the atheros wireless with a ralink one. That'll be the ultimate reason (at least for me) not to buy one of these! _________________ 7x La Fonera 2100, 1x NanoStation2 Loco

Really? I was just looking around the forum, and it looks like there is a considerable amount of work being put into getting the Ralink chipset working. Evidently there are already open source drivers for it, the challenge is getting them integrated and working with DD-WRT. A lot of new N devices seem to use the Ralink chipsets (Linksys does, at least), it would probably be a mistake to not support them.

What's wrong with the RA link chipset / driver - versus the Atheros one?
According to the FCC filing it was produced by EDIMAX and was given the model number BR-6425N / GR-425N. However, I can't seem to find any info on these model numbers. I'm guessing that this version was made exclusively for lafonera.
I struggled trying to find the rest of the info asked. Could someone help a bit more?
