Hiya, Like many in this group I'm eagerly awaiting my Z2 in the mail; to me it looks highly possible to port OpenWRT (Kamikaze); the Z2 is a 2.6 kernel so we...

Hooray! Another 90$-brick to be counted.. Or not? Well, I tried to do the MMC/SD mod, got all the wires connected to the soldering points on the board, tried...
... Thanks glad you liked the bikeophone - if you want to make one the minimum configuration is really simple, just a reflashed zipit, a pair of cheap ...
