Bought a linksys ADSL2 Modem/router today – an AG241. Works out of the box (plus a firmware upgrade). Everything going without problems.
Yay linksys, sucks to netgear.
linksys better than netgear

fuck netgear
Fuck them right in the ear.
The web UI sucks, doesn’t actually work properly under a free browser (errr… okay, Gecko based) – namely the page where you can change the IP of the router.
In modem mode, it seems to still be able to do PPPoA authentication – which makes really weird shit happen. like a netmask of 255.255.255.255 – which I’m not actually convinced is a ADSL modem problem, possible internode instead. Think about how the hell you’re meant to access your gateway.
Oh, and the port forwarding doesn’t work!!!
It’s a Netgear DG632 ADSL Modem Router.
Although it does run linux (or at least some GPL and some LGPL software). Why the hell can’t i just get a console into the darn thing.
just what i wanted to spend time on after a day moving.
I heart Columbian Coffee
that is all.

This is pretty ultra-cool news. Especially in academic circles and for upcoming chip designers.
I’m sure that there’s decent business models in place so that they don’t cannibalise their hardware sales.
What would be very cool is if cheap manufactures pick up slightly older chip generations and produce them for dirt-cheap prices. This means more commodity hardware – which is very good for humanity.
It also makes it possible to run an even more open platform where even the source to your CPU is available!
