WHITE RUSSIAN 0.9
-----------------

  This is the final release of the whiterussian branch; development
  now moves back to the kamikaze branch, post buildroot-ng.

  Keep watching http://openwrt.org/ and http://dev.openwrt.org/ for
  details.

What the heck is with all these directories?
  As of RC4, WhiteRussian now ships in several variations, each with
  a slightly different set of packages installed by default. You're
  still free to add whatever packages you want, but this will save
  you from manually installing some common packages immediately after
  reflashing.

  micro/
    The least amount of packages required for a functional system;
    there isn't even a web interface.

  default/
    Standard image (web interface, pppoe)

  pptp/
    Standard image (web interface, pptp instead of pppoe)

Ok, that explains the directories, now what the hell are the files?
   There's two types of files, the "trx" files and the "bin"
   files; the bin files simply repackage the trx in the vendor's
   default firmware format and are only used when the trx file
   can't be used directly.

   openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx
     This is a generic firmware for any broadcom cpu supported
     by the whiterussian release. This is the firmware in raw
     format, exactly as it will be written to the flash.

     Not all devices will let you use this raw format, some
     will require extra information provided by the bin files
     below.

     This file can be used for the following:
       - Upgrading any existing OpenWrt install (mtd util)
       - Asus WL500g
       - Asus WL500gx
       - Buffalo Airstation WBR2-G54S
       - ...

   openwrt-wrt54g-squashfs.bin
   openwrt-wrt54gs-squashfs.bin
   openwrt-wrt54gs_v4-squashfs.bin
   openwrt-wrtsl54gs-squashfs.bin
     This is the exact same as the trx file above, with one
     exception -- a small header has been added to the start
     of the file, marking it as a valid upgrade for Linksys
     models. Supported models:
      openwrt-wrt54g-squashfs.bin
       - WRT54G (v1.0, v1.1, v2.0, v2.2, v3.0, v4.0)
       - WRT54GL
      openwrt-wrt54gs-squashfs.bin
       - WRT54GS (v1.0, v1.1, v2.0, v3.0)
      openwrt-wrt54gs_v4-squashfs.bin
       - WRT54GS (v4.0)
	  openwrt-wrt54g3g-squashfs.bin
	   - Linksys WRT54G3G
      openwrt-wrtsl54gs-squashfs.bin
       - Linksys WRTSL54GS 

   openwrt-wa840g-squashfs.bin
   openwrt-we800g-squashfs.bin
   openwrt-wr850g-squashfs.bin
     This is also a trx file, but with a Motorola header
     added to the start of the file, making it a valid
     firmware file for a Motorola device.
     
Upgrading from a previous OpenWrt install
  Backup /etc changes and package list:
    Before you upgrade, please consider making a backup of your /etc 
    directory and then write down the list of packages installed.

    As of RC4, reflashing with OpenWrt -WILL RESET THE FILESYSTEM-.
    All the changes you've made to the configuration files and all
    the packages you've been installed will be purged and replaced
    with the new firmware.

    NVRAM is NOT modified by a reflash. Any NVRAM values will remain
    intact after reflashing.
  
  Backing up the old OpenWrt as a firmware image:
    To backup an existing openwrt install, use the command:

      dd if=/dev/mtdblock/1 of=/tmp/firmware.trx

    This will produce a pseudo-trx file containing the firmware (trx)
    followed by a dump of the JFFS2 filesystem -- basically everything
    except the bootloader and NVRAM. Copy this to a safe place and
    only restore it to a device with the same size flash chip.

  Upgrading / Restoring:
    To reflash from within openwrt you will need to use a trx file:

      mtd -r write firmware.trx linux

    The "-r" will force an automatic reboot after the reflashing. You
    can also add a "-e linux" to erase the previous firmware, but this
    is rarely needed.
