The MAX232 will probably work, you have to take the VCC from the 3.3V pin of the serial port in the router to make sure that it doesn't give out higher voltages on the router side than 3.3V.
It may be though that the 3.3V is too low for giving RS-232 levels that your computer can accept, you'll have to test.
You can use the Hyperterm program that is included in WinXP (also in Vista?) or putty. You can find both of them on the net in case you don't have them. _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
This night I've tried to make a serial log with max232 interface circuit but I only received in Putty strange characters.
I guess I will have to buy CA-42 Nokia interface cable...

Do you think that it's possible to use some DD WRT flash build with this hardware? Or we need to wait Brainslayer to see this post and maybe make a modified built for this device? :)
Thanks a lot again!

Brainslayer may have to make a modified one with some stuff removed.
MOST of the RaLink based routers had 4MB flash and 32MB ram
So as long as Brainslayer compressed the image, it could expand and have lots of memory.
But with 16MB ram, stuff would have to be taken out so that it would run in 16MB ram. _________________ Soylent Green Is People ! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Yes BS will have to add support for the router in the dd-wrt source tree and make a build for it if possible.
The GPL source says that its nvram has the variable "productid=RT-G32v2" which should be enough in order to identify it and distinguish it from other similar routers.
I couldn't find the gpio definitions in the GPL code though. (which i/o pin for reset and for the different LED's).
I can't do much more now, I don't have an Ralink router and am not one of the developers either.
You have done a good initial investigation which I hope will lead to the router being supported.
Sash has included it in the Supported Device list but as a work-in-progress. _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
hi all, unforunatly i've this router . But the biggest problem is that i can't flash via webgui. If i enter in webgui and try to flash the firmware with this dd-wrt release http://www.dd-wrt.com/routerdb/de/download/Asus/RT-G32/-/asus-to-dd-wrt.bin/2665 it apparently start to flash rom (i see 1,2,3,4...100% complete) but nothing be do. I restart or reset the router and than see the original firmware too... how it is possible? there is a particular procedure to flash that router via telent or tftp?
any help wolud be apreciated
Don't you read the messages in this thread, are you only able to write?
i've read all the topic, but after i see that are these firmware for this router so i think that someone was able to flash it... if you can help me thanks.

Sigh..
Where do you see firmware for this router?

Did you READ the thread...
There are 2 versions of the RT-G32 it seems
Revision A of the router is ATHEROS chipset based
Revision B of the router is RT3052 RaLink based
The RT-G32 firmware that exists is for Revision A
If you have Revison B router, you CANNOT flash this firmware. _________________ Soylent Green Is People ! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

yes i know that there are 2 kind of router whit different chipset but in the download section isn't specified that the fiwrmware is for revision A or B. So i've asked. Anyway many thanks for your help, i've jusy take a d-link dir-300 what do you think abou it?

There are also 2 revisions of the DIR-300
The DIR-300 Rev A is Atheros Based
The DIR-300 Rev B is RaLink Based
You have to see which one you have and flash the correct firmware for it. _________________ Soylent Green Is People ! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
