Is it just me, or was the original name of this post something to do with pcie x16? Anyway, seems like a cool hack with plenty of potential.

Pretty cool. I’d really like to see a USB or SDIO port added to the La Fonera router. Those things are really cheap.

It’s kinda old indeed. I haven’t quite kept up with the Sweex hacking scene, so I’m afraid all the material on the site is as-is, and I can’t answer too many questions on it anymore. Last time I checked, the Sweex still had a vivid hacking scene, though, so you should be able to dig up more info with a coupla Google queries.

Does anyone know if these routers are available in the United States, and how much they cost ? Perhaps they are sold here under a different brand name.

yeah, looks kinda old but adds a lot of potential. Conor was correct in that the original title had something to do with pcie x16.

what a mess! Why would you fly the oscillator in the air when there are holes there for it already? I can understand the 7805 since it would be a PITA to figure out what switcher they used, but the rest is ugly.

The oscillator had to float; the locations he solders it at are not routed on the board the same way. I agree that it could be cleaner. A daughter board would be nice looking, but great job all the same.
