	Hi. For those interested in the DD-WRT project I wanted to contribute the following information to help you get DD-WRT installed on an Airlink101 AR430W (available at Fry's for $19.99, frequently on sale for $14.99).		Hi. For those interested in the DD-WRT project I wanted to contribute the following information to help you get DD-WRT installed on an Airlink101 AR430W (available at Fry's for $19.99, frequently on sale for $14.99).

	Download all the files for the AR430W from the dd-wrt.com downloads page. Save or move the files under the directory served by your tftp server. The instructions there are poorly written. Hopefully the following will help you get it done. Save the following as a shell script.		Download all the files for the AR430W from the dd-wrt.com downloads page.

		+	</pre>

	Next, here is a transcript of my session hacking DD-WRT onto the AR430W. The parts I had to type are in bold. Type the name of the script above (I saved it as dd-wrt.sh) into your terminal and unplug the power from the AR430W. With one hand hit enter on your keyboard and with the other hand plug the power back in. You may have to repeat this initial step because trial may give more errors than success. If you don't see the ^C being sent in about 12 to 15 seconds, it failed, so try again. Also, after nc sends the ^C, you may need to hit ^C manually to break and get the telnet line in the script to run.		Next, here is a transcript of my session hacking DD-WRT onto the AR430W.

Rather than posting a "My Dog Ate My Homework" excuse I'll leave it that I was not prepared, I didn't have access to my outline and my slides were incomplete. When I realized that my brain was a deer in headlights and I could remember next to nothing of what I had prepared I wound up doing about 40 minutes of Q&A. So, to make up for it I'll post material and resources that hopefully will in some small way make up for a poor presentation. I'll create a new section named [[Linux 101]] and post information and resources there.

	We just had our regular Saturday meeting and an interesting discussion about the upcoming SCALE meeting, February 20, 21, 22. We talked about reaching out to people of all sorts of skill levels. SCALE has put a recent emphasis on reaching an audience of people newly come to GNU/Linux. Because more of those new people have been attending SCALE lately and have been inquiring about having more entry level presentations available they have created a new beginner's track. It looks like more and more folks are starting to catch on to the Wintel monopoly and are looking for better alternatives. But it's not all going to be about newbies by any means and we plan to have demos and presentations that should be interesting for visitors of all skill levels and interests.
