I just put test images up for the wndr3800CH up at:
http://snapon.lab.bufferbloat.net/~cero2/test-wndr3800ch for squashfs and
jffs2.

It is otherwise the same as the 3.10.50-1 release. If it works for you two
I'll fold the 2 line patch into the build or pester someone at openwrt to
get it in there.

We had had several discussions with netgear's CTO about various options for
a relationship. Towards the end, it seemed like my communications were
being sent directly to /dev/null.

Doesn't mean that they can't resume talks, but I'd rather get a RFP
