I've ported version 2.10.2 of the Netrek Vanilla Server to run on the
Broadcom platform used by LinkSys WRT54G and clones, using the OpenWrt
build tools. My prototype is running on an Asustek WL-HDD2.5, which is
a 802.11g wireless 2.5" IDE drive box with a 125MHz processor and 16MB
RAM. It runs from 5V at 800mA.

It's really neat to play Netrek against a server small enough to sit in
the palm of your hand, at a price point comparable to a restaurant
drinks bill.

All the files are on quozl.linux.org.au/netrek
