Gigabyte AP
We have a few of the Gigabyte GN-B49G Wireless Routers.
Their functionality is quite limited.
After a bit of playing around with one for a few days, I noticed that it was Linux based. So we set about hacking the thing to see if we could do anything interesting with it. We didn't get very far, and soon lost interest.
Gigabyte has just released all the GPL Source code for Firmware on this device, which proves that it really does run Linux.

Im trying to see how much I can get out of the ping exploit without breaking the thing. RoDent is going to try help us with the hack of the firmware to add functionality to the device--

OK so we are going to try hack the gigabyte AP's the "progress" will be pasted on GigaByteHacking, so please check it out if your intrested. --

I have alot of respect for the tiny little Gigabytes, I suppose that its because I use it, but it seems to have great potential. The thing that I find remarkable is that there is NO information on the net to indicate that anybody has tryed to hack these things before, Now that the source has been released I hope that it will change.--

Going to add PICS of the GN-B49G later tonight ---

I have been going at it now for about two weeks with no luck. I cannot seem to get the Gigabyte B49G to establish a link with a Linksys WRT54G access point. When the two are in the same building they only communicate when both have been set to auot/best speed and they pump about 20mbit through, so I know they do work together. Just when setup over a long link I cannot get them talking. I think that it is an issue with the fact that they cannot seem to establish a link on auto/best but as I said that was the only way that I could get them to talk. I am not running the Linksys native firmware, I am running Satori on it because the native firmware cannot be set into client mode. The Linksys and Gigabyte do not seem to use the same standard for WDS so I was unable to get a link that way. I know for a fact though that both of the Access points actually work. I have set both into access point mode and with a laptop and a 21db grid I can associate with both ap's from each side of the link at 20dbm+ so its not the link thats setup incorrectly. I am going to be getting myself a Linksys WRT45G when I get paid to set one up at my side and make the link work :P . ---

Ok It has been confirmed the Linksys WRT with any firmware mods DOES NOT talk to the gigabytes, I am going to leave these gigabytes alone for a little while. I am going to get a linksys or an asus (I think) to play around with, then replace the gigabytes and REALLY stuff around with them, at this point in time I cannot afford to brick ANY but soon I will have the oppertunity to play with one and if I brick it I dont care too much
