+Description of kernel patches in patches:
+
+000-linux_mips.patch
+ This is the diff between vanilla linux-2.4.30 and linux-mips.org kernel
+ (CVS tag 2_4_30 used). The kernel source from linux-mips.org CVS repository has
+ newer drivers and code then vanilla linux-2.4.30 especially for the mips architecture.
+
+001-bcm47xx.patch
+ This is the broadcom specific code from asus (1941) GPL source tarball.
+ There are many small patches included, so it works with linux 2.4.30 kernel.
+ The original code is based on Linux 2.4.20.
+
+002-wl_fix.patch
+ The driver for the wireless lan chip on brcm47xx based routers is binary only.
+ This means it depends on older data structures in the kernel. We backported some
+ of the changes or changed some of the data structures to work with the binary modul.
+ This is a really bad hack, but without source code, there is no better chance to get
+ the driver working with newer kernels.
+
+003-squashfs.patch
+ Support for the squashfs filesystem. It has better compression ratio then cramfs.
+
+004-squashfs_lzma.patch
+ LZMA Addon patch from Oleg I. Vdovikin for the squashfs filesystem.
+ Even better compression ratio.
+
+005-jffs2_compression.patch
+ Compression for jffs2 filesystem.
+

+ Filtering packets on ethernet layer. See http://ebtables.sf.net
