Yesterday, Buffalo Technology and the German-based New Media Net published a press release claiming that from now on, you can buy Buffalo’s WHR-HP-G54 Router with the open source DD-WRT firmware. You’ll get the usual 2-year guarantee here in Germany, which you would lose with installing free software on most vendors’ products yourself.
Read the impressive feature list of DD-WRT here. And at this place, I want to say thank you to the DD-WRT guys who are on the same open source area at the Systems Fair like us Debian people, providing safe, free, and secure wireless services for all of us. Thanks also to the NetBSD project for the leased line.
See you this evening on the party at the Debian booth!
