inside the WR850G

I have a WR850G wireless router, which I no longer use much for reasons explained before. I knew this ran linux, but only today did I find out how to run shell commands.

It's a small mips box running 2.4.20, busybox, zebra, pppd, dnsmasq. Of course I did not receive a written offer from Motorola for the source to this GPLed software.

wget is available and works, but I've not succeeded in running any programs yet. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the busybox on it not running non-builtins, or a problem with my binaries. I guess if I really wanted to hack my router though, I should have bought a linksys..
