Fon+ is a must?

[SyntaXe]

Hello guys!

I'm new to this hardware hacking scene, but it sounds really exciting!

But for using Jasager, do I have to use a Fon+?

Or could any other OpenWRT supported device work?

Like the Linksys WRT54G.

Thanks.

You have to use a device with an Atheros wireless card. The WRTs use Broadcom so no, they won't work.

Is there any list of routers/devices witch is running a Atheros card?

[digininja]

try the openwrt site, on their list of supported hardware it might mention the wifi chipset

Hi!

I just wanted to give out the link of where to find the compatible hardware list, in case someone else is looking for it :)

& you don't need a fon +, i gor it running on a normal fon 2200(came with firmware 0.7.2r5)

Apparently there is a new Fon out there that doesn't have an Atheros chipset, not sure which one and haven't come across it yet though.

The WRT54G V7 has Atheros AR2317 chipset with 2MGs flash memory.

As i know the new 2.0 is not Supported for Jasager ?

[digininja]

Depends what you mean by new. The standard Fon 2.0 works fine with Jasager but there is a very new Fon that does 802.11n which I've heard reports of having a non-Atheros chipset so that won't work.

Yeah the Fon2n will be no good but the Fon2 would still work

I'm in Australia so its harder to get my hands on a fon. What other small sized routers are there that will get the job done?

[digininja]

Picostations from ubiquity should work and the Bullets are probably also OK.

Dazz... im in Australia and got mine from the uk via ebay...it cost me around $60 AUD after shipping etc.

Its an expensive proposition compared to costs involved from countries where the fonera lives natively...

but it really depends on how much you want one.

ok thanks, yeah i'll keep my eye on ebay

I just picked up a fon 2001 model off ebay for €20 including delivery. Mind you the one I was bidding on the day before was sniped at the last minute, so do keep an eye out for them.
