CT 4.0 or 4.2? 4.0 is most stable currently, though the last few days I've been committing= a lot of barely tested code. Will test this better shortly. And, sorry, but I don't have time right now to help with making this work w= ith OpenWrt. At the least, it is liable to not be trivial. Search the list for 'CT' + 'OpenWRT' an you may find some help...others have posted patch-sets for OpenWRT that includes at least many of my patches.
