OpenWRT packages at Fungible.com

Openwrt is a Linux distribution to run on wireless routers. I run Openwrt experimental on a Linksys WRT54GS version 2. Despite the name, the "experimental" release of openwrt is the current stable one as of 5 June 2005.

You can use my package repository by adding this line to your /etc/ipkg.conf:

src timfreeman http://www.fungible.com/openwrt/packages

iftop

In the packages directory you'll find two binary packages, the original iftop and one modified so you can't start subshells. I have the latter on a passwordless (but firewalled) account on my router so other people in my household can diagnose performance problems without bothering me and without inadvertently reconfiguring the router.

As of June 5, 2005, these packages haven't seen use outside of my household, so please send me email with your hardware configuration if it works for you.

A script for rebuilding these packages is in the control branch of each package and is also available separately.
