That's tragic. I just picked up a Netgear WNDR4300 (openbox on sale at the
local Fry's) to see if I could hack up a CeroWrt clone on it. It seems to
be mostly the same hardware as the WNDR3700v4 and the TP-Link WDR43[01]0,
with things just wired up slightly differently.
Unfortunantly from what I've seen so far, they did something wierd with the storage and as a result the stock openwrt can't access it. I've seen reports of people getting it to run from an initramfs, but this means that no settings can be preserved across reboot.
If you've seen anything different, I'd be very interested to hear about it (I picked up a 3700v4 and a couple 4300's for testing)
according to a birdie, "it looks like it's an ONFI with quirks, or nobody has realised that it's ONFI at all.". Perhaps that's enough clue to get someone started? but I fear jtag debugging will be needed. Flash chips tend to have interesting race conditions....
