If you like to help, I would be giving you detailed information
about the needed source code changes/addons.

I ported Linksys 2.4.20 patches to linux-mips 2.4.29 and added some
quirks to get the wlan binary kernel modul working.

All the stuff is really new for me, that is the reason I wait before
I contribute it back, because I like to see how stable this stuff
is in reality.

But may be it is time to send some patches...
