[...] 2) Bootp works hand-in-hand with a file serving daemon called TFTP. The router can run tftp, but it’s storage is limited and I don’t feel like doing an SD Card Upgrade, so I gave the tftpd role to my network fileserver. After a quick “yum install tftpd” and an edit to “/etc/xinetd.d/tftp” I was all set. [...]

I didn’t write the instructions and I don’t have a WRT version 3 to play with so I won’t be much help there.

My understanding is that the V3 is similar to the V2 but some of the GPIO lines have moved. Check on some of the openwrt mailing lists and forums. I’m sure someone has located the missing lines for the v3.

Thanks,

Dear Sir!
First of all, I would like to congratulations for the upgrade job well done!
I’m so proud of you, and I would like to take the lesson to upgrade my “harddrive” for my “Linux Linksys computer model WRT54G” However, the instruction you have post for the model version 2. However, mine is version 3. Thus, I can’t find the RP3 on my ‘motherboard’ to connect the DO, CLK and DI connection. Could you please tell me how to connect the DO, CLK, and DI on my “computer” WRT54G.

Big thanks!

Lan.

It would not be possible to boot the firmware off the SD card, but it may be possible to symlink some of the large apps to a directory on the card.
