If the things runs linux, and it's modified, then it should<br>come with a copy of the source code. or it should<br>be avaible on BT's site itself. Linksys tried the same<br>stuff with the openwrt54g's, they caved in in the end,<br>and noe you can get the source and the toolchain to<br>make your own!<br><br>I'm not quite up on these things, I know they have<br>severe security buts in them, and default to WEP,<br>which is bad news central.<br><br>I'd crack open the case, see if there is a JTAG connector<br>or somewhere you can get a serial port attached!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><b><i>Arron M Finnon <afinnon@googlemail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Hi Guys,<br><br>Well the time has come when i now need to follow my own advice and ask<br>for some of your guys. I just know that my newbie status will show out<br>through this, but what the hey.<br><br>I have
a BT Home hub (spare), but what i want to do is reflash the<br>thing. It apparently runs linux, and it's a normal router that's been<br>hijacked by BT's own software. It's a little side project but one that<br>i would like to do, as far as i understand the thing has an OS and i was<br>wondering if you basically but a new OS on it. <br><br>I know very little about the router, what really surprised about it is<br>that there is absolutely no marking determining who the manufacture is,<br>no documentation on BT's site about the manufacture . I haven't<br>telnet'ed into it. I have done nothing with yet, i thought it better<br>that i understand the process of doing it first, rather than going with<br>my usual both feet first what the heck attitude that i normally throw at<br>these things, there seems to be a few sites going through it, but just<br>wanted to ask if anyone had experience with this sort of thing, advice,<br>tips that sort of thing. I'm unsure what the kernel
is in it at the<br>moment, as it is a modified embedded linux distro.<br><br>Any way guys i thank you in advance for any help you guys give, and he<br>questions you need me to answer just ask, i'll do my best to get the<br>answer back ASAP.<br><br>Arron<br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>dundee GNU/Linux Users Group mailing list<br>dundee@lists.lug.org.uk http://dundee.lug.org.uk<br>https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dundee<br>Chat on IRC, #tlug on dundee.lug.org.uk<br></blockquote><br><p>
