 Hardware description: [[http://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm|http://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm]]
-We intend to run [[http://www.openwrt.org/|OpenWRT]] Kamikaze on these boards. Debian and OpenBSD are other alternatives.
+We use this Boards as Routers of our [[5Bone]] and run [[[http://www.openwrt.org/|OpenWRT|http://www.openwrt.org/|OpenWRT]]] Kamikaze on these boards. Debian and OpenBSD would be other alternatives.
 The x86 images created with the OpenWRT image builder work fine.
+[{{kamikaze_7.09-for-alix-0xff-01.patch|The|second Version}}] of our patch to build the firmware. This image contains support for Hardware Crypto of the Geode CPU and the newest madwifi modules which support DFS. You can build the image by invoking the following commands:
+<file># wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/7.09/kamikaze_7.09.tar.bz2
+# tar -xjf kamikaze_7.09.tar.bz2
+# cd kamikaze_7.09
+# patch -p1 < ../kamikaze_7.09-for-alix-0xff-02.patch
+# make
+</file>
+Below there is a sample wireless configuration for both master and slave which is used by us on our [[5Bone]]-Routers:
+Master:
+<file>config wifi-device  wifi0
+        option type      atheros
+        option distance  <distance in meter>
+        option channel   <channel 100-140>
+        option agmode    11a
+        option diversity 0
+        option txantenna 1
+        option rxantenna 1
+config wifi-iface
+        option device   wifi0
+        option network  <network name>
+        option mode     ap
+        option ssid     <name>.5bone.ffgraz.net
+        option encryption none
+        option txpower  5
+        option bursting 1
+        option ff       1
+        option ar       1
+        option turbo    1
+</file>
+Slave:
+<file>config wifi-device  wifi0
+        option type      atheros

+        option bursting 1
+        option ff       1
+        option ar       1
+        option turbo    1
+</file>
+And currently we are using an olsr config like this:

+The older patch without crypto support and old madwifi can be found [{{kamikaze_7.09-for-alix-0xff-01.patch|here|attachment:kamikaze_7.09-for-alix-0xff-01.patch|here}}]. The patch can be used to build an image with kernel modules for VIA Rhine and Alix Leds. The image also contains //ip//, //olsrd//, //kmod-madwifi//, //wireless-tools//, //tcpdump// and //libpcap//. There is currently no support for the Hardware Crypto of the Geode CPU.
