Research into getting OpenWRT on the Netgear WNR2000v3

What I know so far:

  • the factory firmware is based on OpenWRT 7.09 (Kamikaze). No idea how heavily it's been modified.
  • DD-WRT has a build running on it already here
  • OpenWRT's supported devices page didn't list the WNR2000 at all, but the "legacy" page listed the wnr2000v1, which is a sligntly different model.
  • The openwrt wiki lists it as being WIP, and There's a forum thread linked, but it's only for the wnr2000v1, with no mention I could find of the v3 in the thread

Just a heads up that there are working images of OpenWRT for this device now.

I tried flashing my WNR2000v3 with the OpenWRT firmware, but I keep getting an error message saying that the images aren't valid.
