We are using a low-cost wireless routers to build Ad-Hoc Mesh networks. One of the more promising devices which we look at, for the future, is the NetGear WGT634U router. [url removed, login to view] The device is Broadcom MIPS based with a USB2.0 port and an Atheros [url removed, login to view] mini-pci radio card. There are already some successful ports of OpenWRT Linux distribution ( [url removed, login to view] ) for this device. I wish to compile drivers for ZyDas ZD-1211 based [url removed, login to view] radio for that platform. This will allow to connect multiple USB (zd1211 based) radios to the router, so it can become a multiple radio unit.

## Deliverables

Source code for the ZyDas zd1211 drivers is here: [url removed, login to view] It compiles and work fine on my FC-3 (and other) boxes. Detailed instructions and HOWTO use a cross-compiler tool-chain (and the sources) and howto compile packages for this device can be found here: [url removed, login to view] and here: [url removed, login to view] also here: [url removed, login to view] These pages also include information and source for compiling drivers for the Atheros radio (MadWifi), which can be used as an example. I estimate it should not take long to download the needed tools and sources, and to cross-compile the zd1211 for MIPSEL. I like to use this as an opportunity to locate coders who will be able to help us in the future with some more "real" codding work. I expect much work to follow, using similar environment, and am looking for the right people for the job. In general, I am seeking coders who not only have experience with MIPS based units, but also vast knowhow of Linux, IP networking in general, and some strong script writing skills (bash and perl).

## Platform

MIPS LINUX OPENWRT wireless-extentions. Priority to Indian nationals, especially North-West India (Himachal, Punjab, J&K)... But other nationals are welcome to bid as well.
