Hi,

recently I found out that my old and unused router

- 1stWave Wavemaxx Pro II

was also sold as:

- AboCom WR104
- Longshine LCS-883R WR4

It contains an ADMtek ADM5106 CPU and has a AboCom WB1500S wireless
card. Did anyone succeed in porting/installing a "micro" linux on this
piece of hardware or some other "open source" firmware?

Many thanks in advance
Matthias

The Connexant cx84200 and the ADMtek ADM5106 are the same and uses an
ARM7TDMI core.See:

I tried the links given above but there is still one (at the moment)
open question. Do I need some serial adapter or is it possible to upload
the firmware via tftp?

I believe that the NWR04b Network Anywhere uses the serial port per the
following docs. I dont have one so I have never done it.
see: http://saintaardvarkthecarpeted.com/nwr04b/download /
I would look at the Development archives:
