Last week my Soekris 5501-70 arrived. First of all, thanks Wim for shipping it to me! It will most probably supersede my old Soekris 4801-50.
First some facts:

</pre>Preparing for OpenWRT
I decided to run OpenWRT again on this box, as i did with my last box. That was very painless, so lets try it with the new one! I downloaded the latest version of OpenWRT backfire (in my case 10.03.1-RC3) from the OpenWRT website. I used the openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext2.img.gz image, as it gives the possibility to me to mount and adjust the image very easily from my Laptop machine. The image needs some adjustments though.
<ol><li>wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1-rc3/x86/openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext2.img.gz
</li><li>gunzip openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext2.img.gz</li><li>dd if=openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext2.img of=/dev/sdb
with /dev/sdb being a CF-Card.
</li><li>First thing to change: My Soekris came with 19200,8N1 as default setting for serial, but OpenWRT uses 38400,8N1, so this needs to be changed on the first . Mount the first partition of the CF-Card and adjust /boot/grub/menu.lst</li><li>While we are editing the menu.lst, the Soekris has no graphics card, so i adjusted the terminal setting in line 2 to “terminal –dumb –timeout=2 serial” and I removed all console=tty0 from the kernel options.</li></ol>Booting OpenWRT on Soekris 5501-70

Nice, it looks I don’t need tune anything for the Soekris. Again, i needed to change my network settings, as i don’t want to run all interfaces as a bridge, but that i already explained in my 4801 post.
