Hello Frank,<br>
<br>
Wireless on the Asus WL-500g DeLuxe with the opensource b43 driver has
been to my experiences quite problematic. I have been recompiling a lot
of OpenWrt kernels with different versions of the b43 driver, the
firmware and hostapd ( the daemon required to run AP mode ). <br>
<br>
However, I have booked some results and made a webpage about it: <a
href="http://www.debwrt.net/debwrt/b43/">http://www.debwrt.net/debwrt/b43/</a>.
It's part of my project to use Debian on the Asus WL-500g DeLuxe and
compatible hardware. It combines an OpenWrt compiled kernel with the
Debian MIPSEL port. 2.4 and 2.6 kernel downloads are available, as well
as an entire base Debian root filesystem(50 MB) - wireless etc should
work out of the box. The 2.6 kernel has wireless running in AP, but
with some issues; see the website. Wireless with the 2.4. kernel works
flawless ( to my knowledge ).<br>
<br>
Looking into svn trunk sources of OpenWrt, I can see that there have
been some changes, so maybe compiling a new OpenWrt kernel from SVN
will work. I'm waiting for OpenWrt to create a stable 2.6 kernel for
this hardware, before I build a new 2.6 kernel image and a Debian
MIPSEL root filesystem for the Asus router.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps. If you have any questions, let me know.<br>
<br>
