Hacking Samsung 4510-Based APs

zoobab writes "Some belgian linux hackers met this week-end to hack some wireless access points based on the samsung4510 chip. They have succeeded in compiling and booting a uClinux kernel on a Dlink 614ap+, which is equipped with the infamous acx100 wireless chipset. There's still some work to do, but if you want to help, open your 22mbps AP and try to built your own JTAG adaptator to get access to the flash..."

      Well, you know how it is ... just finished the stuff for that Swedish customer of Jane (Mr. Torvlads).
      It is barely usable, but if you and Dave want to test it before Wednesday, check it out here. Don't use one of the production machines though, you remember what happened last time...

    It's just a matter of time until one of these routers goes bad, takes over satelites, launches nuclear missles around the world, and sends the Governor-Elect of california back in time, hunting for the man who compiled this evil, evil kernel.

    Memorize these definitions, and pooping at work will become a pure pleasure.

    ASTAIRE
    A subtle toe-tap that is used to alert potential TURD BURGLARS that you are occupying a stall. This will remove all doubt that the stall is occupied. If you hear an ASTAIRE, leave the bathroom immediately so the pooper can
    poop in peace.

    CAMO-COUGH
    A phony cough which alerts all new entrants into the bathroom that you are
    in a stall. This can be used to cover-up a WATERMELON or to alert potential
    TURD BURGLARS. Very effective when used in conjunction with an ASTAIRE.

    COURTESY FLUSH
    The act of flushing the toilet the instant the nose cone of the poop log hits the water and the poop is whisked away to an undisclosed location. This reduces the amount of air time the poop has to stink up the bathroom. This can help you avoid being caught doing the WALK OF SHAME.

    CRACK WHORE
    A crapper that has seen more ass than a Greyhound Bus. Telltale signs of a
    CRACK WHORE include pubes, piss stains and shit streaks. Avoid a CRACK
    WHORE at all cost. Try finding out when the janitor cleans each particular
    bathroom. Don't forget with a good cleaning, a CRACK WHORE can become a
    SAFE HAVEN.

    ESCAPEE
    A fart that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or forcing poop in a
    stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of panic and
    embarrassment, similar to the hot flash you receive when passing an unseen
    police car and speeding. If you release an escapee, do not acknowledge it.
    Pretend it did not happen. If you are standing next to the farter at the
    urinal, pretend that you did not hear it. No one likes an escapee; it is
    uncomfortable for all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both
    parties feel uneasy.

    FLY BY
    The act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping. Walk in, check for other
    poopers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and come back again.
    Be careful not to become a FREQUENT FLYER. People may become suspicious if
    they catch you constantly going into the bathroom.

    HAVANA OMELET
    A load of diarrhea that creates a series of loud splashes in the toilet
    water. Often accompanied by an ESCAPEE. Try using a CAMO-COUGH with an
    ASTAIRE.

    JAILBREAK (Used in conjunction with ESCAPEE)
    When forcing poop, several farts slip out at a machine-gun pace. This is
    usually a side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this should happen, do
    not panic; remain in the stall until everyone has left the bathroom so to
    spare everyone the awkwardness of what just occurred.

    OUT-OF-THE-CLOSET POOPER
    A colleague who poops at work and is damn proud of it. You will often see an
    OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER enter the bathroom with a newspaper or magazine
    under their arm. Always look around the office for the OUT OF THE CLOSET
    POOPER before entering the bathroom.

    POOPING FRIENDS NETWORK (PFN)
    A group of coworkers who band together to ensure emergency pooping goes off
    without incident. This group can help you to monitor the whereabouts of OUT
    OF THE CLOSET POOPERS and identify SAFE HAVENS.

    SAFE HAVEN
    A seldom used bathroom somewhere in the building where you can least expect
    visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite sex. This will
    reduce the odds of a pooper of your sex entering the bathroom.

    TURD BURGLAR
    A pooper who does not realize that you are in the stall and tries to force
    the door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable moments that
    occur when taking a dump at work. If this occurs, remain in the stall until
    the TURD BURGLAR leaves. This way you will avoid all uncomfortable eye
    contact.

    UNCLE TED
    A bathroom user who seems to linger around forever. Could spend extended
    lengths of time in front of the mirror or sitting on the pot. An UNCLE TED
    makes it difficult to relax while on the crapper, as you should always wait
    to drop your load when the bathroom is empty. Thi

    Yes...if the US would server THEIR interests, that would be great for "the rest of the world". "Freeing" a country to exploit its ressources, eh? See Iraq.
    Who is more dangerous, North Korea or Iraq? Then why didn't the US "solve" the NK problem? Their army is too strong and they don't have any valuable ressources. Aha.

    BTW, if you think running 4 computers day and night just for the sake of your uptime, you're just pathetic.
